Part I of V

How it started

IRONMAN KY


I left Germany to Louisville, KY in August. Since I´ve won this race in 2008 I participated every year. It´s always nice coming back. That race should have been my „come back“ race after my long time of rehab.

The swim wasn´t as good as I hoped. So, I lost a lot of time to the other guys.
The biking could have been better The distance was big to the leading to the leading guys. However, the weather was how I liked it. More than 90 Fahrenheit und dry. So, I counted on a decent run and struggling competitors. Although I wasn´t sure how my legs feel in my come back race.

I ran my way on the heated pavement down town Louisville and finished totally happy with a third place. I enjoyed the unique finish line on 4th street and had a fresh served and deserved cheeseburger.






Special thanks to Debbie and Frank who took care of me and gave me a home!
Thanks to my lovely sister coached as great as every time!
Thanks to the great mechanics from IRONMAN race wheel rentals!
