Now, just 3 days left until the biggest race of the year. Race preparation and travel arrangements have been perfect. Tanja and I have been in Florida since Saturday and were able to enjoy Disney in Orlando, the beach in Clearwater and electrifying atmosphere around the race site.
Do to the storm in the Gulf we have had some heavy winds and big waves around the Bay. Swimming wasn't possible so far, but Ron and I took the time this morning to ride parts of the bike course.
Since qualifying in Austin, Texas last October I have trained about 460 hours and participated in 16 races in preparation for this race.
So far it’s been my most successful season and hope to finish the year with a great race in Florida. Training has been good and my running form has finally turned around. Cycling has been tough with the weather and time change in Germany, but the performance from earlier races makes me feel very confident on this fast course.
Above all, the last 4 weeks coming into this race were very thriving and gave me a mental boost. Winning the the Stadtpark Marathon Relay with the guys felt very good, followed by my first half marathon win and a first place at the Eulen Cross Duathlon just a week later.
I am ready to race and hope to represent Tri-Michels Hamburg in a good style.
