| Biennathlon - Bike - first leg
I queued a bit too far behind so I had to pass a lot on the first couple km. Once we got into the "Psycho" (long steady uphill) I was still passing several bikers but the speed was good. When we got into the single trail the speed slowed a bit down and it was impossible to pass. There I lost probably a minute or two. Once the trail ended I passed the group I was caught behind and only one guy followed. We were pushing each other the rest of the uphill and he had about the same speed on the downhill as I. Together we managed to pass a few more bikers on the final uphill to Magglingen but he got away a few meters before the top. I was caught behind a guy on the first part of the final downhill but was almost alone for the rest of the phantastic singletrail downhill section down to Biel. Slight signs of cramping legs when we had to run down some stairs but I finished well below my ideal time (1h30) and sent Irene on her way on the inlineskates.

| Irene came back very quick also 7' faster than expected. I went out on the swim and it went very well until shortly before the finish when my hamstrings started cramping up. Did some stretching and finished trying not to use the legs anymore.
Sent out Irene on the final leg (running). She finished well and we could run in in a unexpected 11th place!
Results
Note: I'm very surprised of my swim time (fastest in the couples). I'm not a very good swimmer and I wonder if something went wrong with the timing or if I found a 'shortcut'? I was mostly following other swimers so I don't know where this would have been...?
Note 2: it seems I did the whole swim course (I passed 2 buoyage like my brother). There are 2 possibilities: I'm a very fast swimmer, they messed up the timing and I was 3-4' slower and Irene 3-4' faster on the run. It both seems unlikely to me but who knows... |
