\nChallenge Heilbronn 2019<\/p>\n
\nIt was great. I had solid races so far that season but it was far from perfect. Training was great leading up to The Championship and I was confident to get a podium result. Winning that race where I came 3rd and 5th before felt super good!<\/p>\n
\nSwim:<\/strong>\u00a0practice orientation in training \u2013 look for trees, flags, buildings around the race to set as \u201cmarkers\u201d
\nBike:<\/strong>\u00a0practice aero position and be prepared for some pain 😉
\nRun:<\/strong>\u00a0practice running on sand and grass \u2013 that\u2019s unique about The Championship \u2013 the run on the horse track and the grass field inside.<\/p>\n
\nPractice riding in aero position for as long as possible. A 90k flat bike course sounds easy but it\u2019s demanding in a completely different way.<\/p>\n
\nPush when it hurts 😉<\/p>\n
\nWhite bread with jam, honey, Nutella. Two cups of coffee. Depending on the start time some oats. In general: easy carbs 😉<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s cool to have everything you need and could wish for so close. No matter if gym, swimming pool, or easy accessible roads with a little amount of traffic. And of course good food in the Japanese restaurant after the race. I really like the x-bionic sphere!<\/p>\n
\nI fly or drive home and enjoy being home doing nothing. A good cup of coffee and a piece of cake in the sun on the balcony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
