Race report
I still can’t find any words for yesterdays race at the Ironman France. After a dark Sunday racing ironman 70.3Lux I had a torn chain. Super disappointed asking my coach what’s next.
He told me : Go to Nice if you can decent. There I was. After a solid swim I started the ride in the flat with the girls. Shortly we hit the crazy mountains. At the 2nd big climb I did a move catching the leader and gave it all. A very long and lonely day started. Having some doubts if I can still run after this ride.
However did push and felt quite good on the run for the first 2 loops out of 4. Then it was an up and down like on a roller coaster 🎢 fighting against the biggest headwinds possible.😳 🌬
Super happy to have a leading guy on inlineskates 🛼 with me who told the other athletes that I am coming from behind. So no slalom running.
At the last 2km I knew now it’s mine. 🥳
Overwhelmed and without any words I crossed the finish line first. When turning back I saw my leading buddy giving him a huge hug out of happiness.
***
All the bad and difficult times in the past and the support from my coach did lead to this.
Thx to my partners, family and friends for the support.
Hard work pays off one day…

Winning an Ironman means a lot. But winning this race with such a crazy tuff course means maybe even more.

But for now: YES YES YES 🙌🏽
