Summary of the year 2017
The year 2017 was an amazing year for me as a coach and father.
Ironman Frankfurt 2016
IM Frankfurt am Main 2016 Ironman Frankfurt was full of surprises this year. Ups and downs through the race and a great battle with myself. It started off with a surpirsing swim of 54 mins. I was estimating myself around 55-57 mins so I was quite happy to see me below 55. Swimming once per…

70.3 Kraichgau 2015

My first race of the year was the Tweed Enduro. The swim started in the Tweed River and was in the direction of the current. This resulted in a really quick swim and in 2nd place for my age group. That was temporary as I was in the lead 5 minutes after the start of…
