February campervan challenge

After I pinched (another!!) nerve back in December and got ill before the national cross championships I did not get selected for the world championships in Valkenburg. With only a few other races in January, I wasn’t sure where to go from there. Even though I wasn’t in good shape I did not feel like ending my season. So together with my partner, I thought up the perfect plan to end the 2017/18 season on a positive note and hungry for a summer of hard work. After a short visit to my family in Denmark, the plan was that I would fly to Spain for a training camp, coming home just in time to drive to Belgium to race the Worlds rematch in Maldegem on the 7th of February. We would then stay until the end of the cyclocross season doing most of the races available which meant racing twice a week. It sounded good to me! One slight concern…. it wasn’t the cheapest plan on the planet. To solve that I could have stayed at home to train or done only 1 or 2 weekends of racing in Belgium. But for some reason, this was the only plan I ...

Successful summer campaign in images

Free Speed Race Jersey | Short sleeve top for the entire race

Many top stars of the tri scene no longer want to race without short-sleeved kits. Castelli offers several short-sleeved options to accommodate different weather conditions or personal preferences. Athletes who prefer a two-piece combo will have another option for 2017. While the updated T1:Stealth Top 2 is a no-compromise piece specially designed for the bike leg, the all-new Free Speed Race Jersey is meant to be worn for the entire race, from start to finish. The short-sleeved construction ensures good aerodynamics on the bike and provides additional sun protection. UNRESTRICTED FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT The jersey’s real benefits come into play during the run. The stretchy fabric allows excellent freedom of movement and is highly breathable. For those who opt to swim without a race top underneath a wetsuit, the Free Speed Race Jersey can be put on almost instantly in T1, even with wet skin, thanks to the full-length YKK® Camlock® front zip. SnapLock fasteners at the lower back allow you to attach the back of the jersey to the Free Tri Short to prevent riding up during swim or bike leg. Two rear pockets can hold nutrition or kit options like a vest or arm warmers when not needed. ...

Founding a team: „The Trivolution Action Crew“

Many triathletes – Age Grouper or Pros – trust in a coach when it comes to their training or helping them to get a better athlete. They need advice in terms of training, nutrition, bike fitting, mental fitness, how to stay injury free or how to improve their swim technique just to name a few things that athletes worry about. Can one person be a specialist in all these areas? Of course a good coach should be an expert when it comes to daily training, race tactics or how to stay injury free. But does he need to be a mental coach or an aerodynamic expert? I would say no. But how can an athlete receive a professional environment where he only needs to concentrate on his training and is supported in all other aspects of triathlon? To cure this problem Susanne and I founded Trivolution-Training.de, a coaching network based in Wiesbaden, Germany. An association of experts with different strengths with one primary goal: help to become a better, healthier and happier triathlete. Even if I’m racing at pro level on the long distance, I’m also a coach since 2011 after graduated in sport science. Over the years I had ...
