Falls Creek Triathlon - 2012 Australian Long Course Championships

2k-80k-20k - 9th in the Pros


Australians Long Course Championships took place in Falls Creek an Australian ski resort at about 1500 meters above sea level. Overall (in the competition frame), were 600 athletes at the start.
Because of thunderstorms announced in the afternoon, which were also really, the start has been moved from 8:30 to 7:00 am. The weather has turned over completely. When the race was launched, it had just 7 degrees, the lake was 15 degrees, not really warm.

Due to the rising sun I was blinded by making false choice goggles and lost quite a bit while swimming orientation. During subsequent cycling, I could make up the curved road especially in the runs again many places.
On cross-country trails of the final half-marathon was to be completed, where I was very fast.

With a time of 4:22:10, I finished 9th place in the pros.
The victory went to Timothy Reed before Joe Gambles. Both are world class athletes.
Melissa Rollison won the ladies, the reigning Ironman 70.3 world champion who is undefeated at half-Ironman. She finished a few seconds in front of me.


Australia - always worth a visit

Since 24.1. I'm in Australia. At my friends - the family McShane - in Bairnsdale, Victoria, I have found the ideal training conditions again.
The heat in the Australian late summer was almost unbearable. Daytime highs of almost 40 degrees were not uncommon. Walking and biking was only possible early in the morning on a high level. As a reward, it was nice watching kangaroos, emus, lizards and parrots. Sometimes it was sport like in a zoo.
I also took the opportunity for all kinds of water sports.

My return is Friday 17 February. Saturday afternoon I will arrive in Vienna. Despite the long journey, I will enjoy the long flight with Emirates again.

My next big events:
04/15/2012  Vienna City Marathon
05/20/2012  Ironman 70.3 St. Poelten
05/27/2012  XTERRA Italy
