    Race Report: Cycle Tour 2018 (100k Road Race)

    ‘Tis the time of year when I randomly sign up for events. As long as I don’t have a new goal I feel lost. I can’t really sit still, but can’t really commit to much either. The result is that whenever someone asks me to join for a local event…

  • Ironman Hamburg 2018

    Ironman Hamburg 2018

    Finally the big day has come! Not entirely as expected though. On our way to Hamburg the news hit that the swim would be canceled due to high concentrations of blue and green algae and be replaced by a 6k warm up run. Bit of a bummer that my first…

    Check In – Final 4 & Roth 2018

    The air is getting thinner, lads! Only 4 weeks to go, things are now getting properly scary. Last week wasn’t anything special, it was supposed to be a final rest week and I had a 3 day business trip to Bucharest which didn’t help with training. Actually, it helped kind…

    Bike Ride Analysis Hannover Limmer 70.3

    I’ve written the race report for my recent 70.3 distance race already, but I wanted to go further into detail on my bike ride. I’ve mentioned already that even though it was supposedly a B-race I was still hoping for a solid ride. I finished far below what I was…

    AG Data Fest – Age Groups of Frankfurt Marathon Finishers

    As you all know I ran the Frankfurt Marathon last year. My race report can be found here but I did something else I almost forgot about: I made a chart on the age group for each finisher. The lighter the color, the younger a finisher. The chart reads from…

  • Race Report Frankfurt Marathon

    Race Report Frankfurt Marathon

    It has been a while since I last posted here. honestly I just didn’t feel like and I didn’t want to ruin my feeling of non (or little) structure off-season by sticking to a rigid reporting scheme. And frankly not too much has happened since my last post when it…

  • Training Log 17/39 & Race Report Half Marathon Bremen

    Training Log 17/39 & Race Report Half Marathon Bremen

    Last week has been excellent! The boys and I went to run the Bremen half marathon yesterday and all week revolved around staying sharp and being in form. At least within reason. I still consider this my off season so I didn’t beat myself up too much for a beer…

  • AG Data-Fest – Ironman 70.3 Ruegen

    AG Data-Fest – Ironman 70.3 Ruegen

    I have been thinking for a while if there would be something – anything! – that I could write about that people might actually be interested in. Then I thought about what I like and what I am actually good at (spoiler: not much!), but eventually it all fell into…

    Race Report Cycle Tour 2017 – 100k Road Race

    You know by now that I´ve been severely struck by a triathlon addiction. Maybe it is not an addiction, but a very strong passion for the sport at least. Unfortunately the tri season is frustratingly short and so I found myself by the mid of August without anything to do…

  • Race Report Ironman 70.3 Florida

    Race Report Ironman 70.3 Florida

    Life allowed for me to focus on family and sport and nothing else for three months in early 2017 and so I figured this would be the right time to get serious about triathlon. A quick glance at the calendar revealed that there wouldn’t be a race near me around…
