It was a day to remember on Saturday in Motala the long distance World Championchips in the distances 4-120-30. As it was pretty cold weather up to the raceday, and the water in the lake did not get warm enough, the swim was cut down to 1500m. For me…I was fine with both of the distances… Was just happy that it got to be a triathlon instead of duathlon (=run-bike-run). Just this decision shows again that in triathlon you have to be pretty flexible, and mentally strong as yo dont know what the day might bring but you sometimes dont even know the distance, than a day before …!
I wanted to do this race, as it was close to my hometown and because I wanted to race in the World Championchips, that would be just cool! There were quite a few danish triathletes with in the race in Sweden, we were around 20 persons, inclusive the professionals… Different age groupers…Men and women… Good people, great sportspeople!
It was a tough day as always racing… here you can see my run to the goal… just 100m before a french woman, who actually was hanging on my feet the last 20k in the run…
