NEIN- nicht nur erfahrene Trias starten bei der MTG Mannheim Triathlon!
Auch Beginner und Neugierige sind jederzeit Willkommen in der Welt des 3- Kampfes. Aber lest selbst den Erfahrungsbericht unseres Grün-Weißen "Rookies" Nico aus Marseille:
"My first triathlon: Sparkassen Triathlon Braunschweig
I am looking at the MTG Trias for a while now and had to find out myself what all this fuss about triathlon was all about. Sunday the 10th of July, I finally pulled the (small) trigger: my first triathlon!. The Sparkassen Triathlon in Braunschweig is a “Jedermann” Sprint distance, 750m swimming, 17.8km cycling and 5km running, organised by the triathlon club Braunschweig and is a very laid-back and welcoming event for beginners, up to liga athletes. The weather conditions were luckily not too warm, although sunny and windy. With a water temperature of 20°C, we could choose to have or have not the wetsuit. Most of us went for it indeed. I felt confident about the swim and came out 7th of my age group. Transition was rather sloppy, but eventually I made it on the bike, ready to grind hard. Everything went well, and I could pass quite a few fellows, until about kilometre 14. The end of the loop was in such a way that we had a perfectly aligned face-wind, and although I tried to maintain the pace I failed to do so. Second transition went smoother, but I directly felt that I invested too much resources in the end of the cycling part. At the last kilometre I wanted to empty everything eventually left in my legs and made a final push to the finish. I was happy to reach the finish line in 1:23,21h as 18th of my age group, and with the MTG logo on my back.
Now I can say: I get it! The next triathlon is already planned, see you at the Summertime Triathlon 2022 in August, and probably more to come?"
