Impressive show of Andy Raelert and Tim O’Donnell at Ironman Hawaii

Athletes – pros and amateurs – had to deal with one of the hottest days in recent Kona history at the 2015 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. Cloudless sky in the morning, almost no swell and temperatures up to 39°C exhausted the participants past Saturday. Almost all supposed race favorites reached T1 together and a few attacks within the big leading group with more than 15 athletes were unsuccessful. After the turning point in Hawi Timothy O’Donnell mustered up his courage, attacked and formed a small gap. Unfortunately he faced a mechanical shortly before entering T2 and had Frodeno to let pass who left T2 as the race leader. “Sometimes you get an opportunity and you just have to take it and not look back.” O’Donnell – dressed in aerodynamic T1:Stealth Top and Free two piece kit – claimed the third fastest bike split of the day. He started the concluding marathon in second position, fought bravely and achieved his first Kona podium with third place in 8:18:50, behind winner Jan Frodeno and Andreas Raelert. The American after the race: „I am really proud of taking the risk on the bike. I expected I can have a performance like this ...

A lot of bad luck at Mallorca

Expectations for the biggest Ironman 70.3 race of the year were high for our participating professionals, but things turned out differently than planned. Michael Raelert had a good swim and after a fast transition, he got in the lead. At the 4k mark he unfortunately hit a shard of glass and ruined his tire. “The tire was slashed. I was extremely frustrated and discussed with myself if I should bring this race to the finish line at all. I was totally down, but I decided to finish.” said Michael Raelert after the race. Michael decided to finish the race, managed the bike course in 2:58:47 hours and ran the half marathon in 1:22:41 hours. Despite all the disappointment the Rostockian enjoyed the support of a great audience in Alcudia. The crowd was a huge help for Michael Raelert to finish this especially mentally tough race. The race went even worse for German Matthias Knossalla. After a solid start of the race, he had an incident with a goat at the downhill from the monastery of Lluc. He was suffering from bruises and lost some skin, finished the bike leg but wasn’t able to start the concluding half marathon. The third member was Austrian Daniel Niederreiter from Pewag racingteam. ...

Challenging course at Ironman 70.3 Pays d’Aix

The European season was really kicked off past weekend with the first Ironman 70.3 race of the year in France. Among other things, the region around Aix en Provence is famous for its excellent training conditions. Competition was tough, because pros and amateurs were already hunting for points and slots for the 70.3 World Championship in Zell am See in August. Experienced Scotsman Fraser Cartmell – who was already training in nearby Girona for a few weeks and returns to the famous training destination right after the race – has already competed in Challenge Dubai and Ironman South Africa earlier this year. Knowing, that the field was top-class, Fraser exited the water in 5th place and rode within the main group on the bike leg for much of the distance but lost contact over the final Col towards the end of the 90k loop. After holding a fairly steady run pace, he finished in 13th position, which he’s not 100 % happy with. Fraser Cartmell raced in his customized Free Sanremo Suit SS, a one piece race suit tailor-made for half and full distance Ironman races. It pairs exceptional wearing comfort with perfect aerodynamics. Pewag racingteam sent young Austrian Thomas ...
