Wildflower or the Countdown for IRONMAN Germany has begun
The European Championship in Frankfurt
is the first climax of the year
Wildflower is the first of series of 4 races I do every 3rd week to myself in shape for Frankfurt. Frankfurt is the first climax of my racing season this year. There a tough job is waiting for me. I shall compete against Normann Stadler and Faris al Sultan. Everybody familiar with our sort knows about the emotional relation among us. My training has become intense now, and my alter ego is obliged to take over most of my writing jobs for the weeks about to come ;-)...
Feelings and memories before the Wildflower race 2008
I have not raced the Wildflower race for 4 years now and cannot believe how fast the years have gone by. I have raced and won this event 3 times from 2001-2004 and thoroughly enjoy the entire experience of this incredible race. For those who have never experienced the Wildflower Triathlon it is well worth it. Over the weekend more than 6000 athletes will compete in the multi-sport festival and enjoy this historic race and the events around it, and more so will camp out and enjoy an atmosphere unlike any triathlon in the world. Unlike years gone past this race will be my first major event of the year.
I have spent most of the early year of 2008 training in the USA, as my family and I look at making the move to this country. In years gone past I have come off a very successful Australian racing campaign and have arrived at Wildflower in great condition. This year I will be racing the event off a heavy base and feel like my strengths will come later in the race. I am really looking forward to tackling this tough race again. The run course is terribly tough and the weather forecast for next week is for hot weather. I compete on Saturday morning with a very strong field and look forward to the hit out.
Biest-Booster
The booster – my fuel
A very special biestmilch formula especially designed for athletes of our kinds!
It is great for the 2008 season to be finally here. I love racing and live to compete. This event signals the kick off of my season and from this point on it is full steam ahead to Ironman Germany and Hawaii in October, with a mix of high profile events throughout the year all used as gauges for my traning for these two major objectives.
I am here to break a curse
The old Wildflower curse claims that anyone who wins this tough event in May cannot win Hawaii in October. My aim is to break this curse this year and ultimately win these two events, along with many others to make 2008 a memorable year for myself. Anyway I have attached a picture from the last time I stood in the transition area of Wildflower in 2004. I have never been beaten on this course and hope to keep this in tact.
Bob Babbitt who is in this photo with me is a big fan of this race and I look forward to catching up with him at the big race again. We always seem to grab a picture at Wildflower, so being a superstitious guy I will look for Bob again this year and snap my goodluck photo just before the race. Good luck to everyone racing Wildflower and I look forward to seeing you there.
