| Team time trial | 18.09.2011 |
For the first time ever I took part in a team time trial, namely the "Gruppo Marende" event in
Lienz, together with my comrades Werner Uran, Christoph Leitner and Fabian Steindl.
Unfortunately we had bad luck with our late start time and got into some heavy rain and wind.
Nevertheless I think we had a great team spirit, worked together quite well and at the end we
finished 17th overall (43.73km/h average, 2s behind 13th place, 25s behind 9th).
We will try to cut and edit all the photos and the video later on today.
Stay tuned!

| DNF in Faak | 05.09.2011 |
As you can see in the bike vid, I wasn’t able to finish the last triathlon of my 2011 season in
Faak am See (Olympic Distance). Actually I felt pretty good right from the beginning and had
a great swim start, but shortly after the very sharp turn around the first swim buoy I felt a piercing
pain in my lower back area which tortured me the rest of the swim.
I wanted to see if it might get better once I’m on the bike, but unfortunately it got even worse
and I had to cut back my performance to around 50-60% of my full potential which lead to the
DNF after two of four bike laps.
At this point I don’t think it has any sense to start at another competition this year, which will
give me time to fully regenerate physically and psychically…
I’ll keep you updated on any future plans and/or events.

| Goesselsdorf Tri | 22.07.2011 |
Sorry for the late update...
Exactly six years after my first triathlon ever in 2005, I once again started at the
beautiful triathlon (0,5 - 32 - 7) in Goesselsdorf, corresponding with the
25th anniversary of this event. After three great races in Vienna, Velden and
Innsbruck a few weeks ago, I noticed during my usual training workouts that my
fitness isn't as good as it was a month ago.
Nevertheless I gave it a shot in Goesselsdorf, had a decent swim, a decent bike and
entered T2 with the first chasegroup battling it up for second and third place. My run
performance was fine for the first 4k (not as fast as in the years before though), but
I felt completely empty once the course steepened and so I lost position after position.
I managed to save 6th place to the finishing line, which is not something I can be proud of.
Due to this bad performance and the bad shape I'm in, I cancelled my plans for
Wallsee and Zell/See and will focus on training only for the next four weeks at least.
