Note who was the winner here in terms of fashion! A much too short blue shirt that I bought years ago, my fitness pants from strength training and color-coordinated yellow Crocs on my noble feet. My girlfriend threatened to throw everything away if I put that on again!
-> By the way, thanks to Tobi for the photo.
A little review of last week:

In view of my 1.5 week training deficit during our move, in which I really did zero training because I was completely exhausted after all the hauling in the evening, I have now decided to go full throttle for five weeks. The first week started moderately, but got interesting from the middle of the week when I slowly got back into training 😉
The days off were too good for me to taper, and since my focus is on July anyway, I ended the training week with the wonderful middle distance at Lake Steinberger See. I was a bit nervous, though, because I had never been in a middle distance before with a heavy load. My expectation was therefore quite broad, from the podium to the last place.
The swim went quite well, but it is nowhere near enough for Roth. The cycling was surprisingly intense because I got my pulse up here too. Maybe it was also the new HaiBike that I got a few days ago 😉 When I was running, however, I had the feeling that not much was possible. Part of it is due to the non-rhythmic route, partly because there were no gels at the refreshment points. As well as the event was organized, you should offer gels instead of bananas or even corny bars! I desperately stuffed the latter in after 10km, but couldn't get it down.
Nonetheless, after cycling I was able to make up three more places and finally cross the finish line as a total of 3. I am very satisfied with this result and would like to praise the organizer Sven Hindl from “Wechselszene.de” for the great event. -> pictures will follow ...

Julia also started and did her first triathlon. After a great result I am of course very proud of her !! 🙂
A nice start into the week!!

Hello Krelli,
Congratulations on 3rd place!
On the subject of gels while running: if you had listened to the competition briefing, you would have known that there were “only” bars. 🙂
thank you Heiko!
…Oh really? I was just about to help my girlfriend into the Neo. Apparently I didn't hear that 🙂 But next time I'll take my own snack with me!
