My break after the season 2011 was quite long, longer than planned, because I was sick a long time. Now I am out of shape, but at least recovered physically and mentally.
For the next season, I have two big goals: In July I will be participating in Gigathlon again after a break of two years. That´s possible, because I have less exams next summer than in the last years, because I have to write my bachelor thesis. I will again start in the single category which means 430k with 7730 meters difference in altitude in two days. For me, it is the best course ever, because it is in my region and the road bike course on the first day is going directly through my small village! Here you can see the course maps.
The other thing I have planned for next year is Ironman Wales in September. It was the inaugural event this year and the race seems to be very though with a quite hard bike course. Hopefully I can benefit from my bike strength in that race.
Furthermore, I will of course do some shorter races in Switzerland as well as TriStar111 in Germany again. I just love this race!
Only one day left until Ironman World Champs in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii!! Fingers crossed for all athletes from Team Tempo-Sport olivierberhard, especially our pros Karin Thürig and Balazs Czöke!
