[24/03/2013] - Ironman Melbourne |
|
Verry Happy Bink here, never been so happy with a second place, I’m inbetween the Big Boy’s again and I could play with them all day long this time.
When I arrived at transition this morning and saw the Water, I thought, “I hope they let us in” and they did but only for half of the distance.
I never had a swim like that but it was actually quite funny after all, waves up to maybe 3 meters I guess, or more? The athletes got thrown around like little dolls.
Comming out, I had a huge cut on my lower leg, don’t know how or when it happend, was bleeding but stopped a few kms into the bike.
I had to make up some time but around km 25 I caught the boys in the lead; Fettel, Llanos, Alexander, Bell, only 3 other boys managed to come across afterwards; Reed, Legh and Butterfield and that was it, we stayed together for about the rest of the first lap and going into the second loop they all sat up and stopped paddeling so I decided to take a good turn at the front and got some space, this was not the plan but I kept pushing my watts from then on and the space became quite a gap by entering T2(5min)
I got into a nice stride really quick and controlled my pace, all the flatt kms untill km 30 were inbetween 3’55 and 4’05 from then to km 40 between 4’ and 4’10. For a long time my advantage stayed above 4 minutes but from km 25 to 35 Eneko Llanos was on the move and caught me, I could keep my pace but no response in the legs, at km 39 I started suffering and blew at km 40 but by then the finish was in site and 2nd place was safe.
I have never been more happy with Second
- I’m back after a bad Hawaii and bad winter, so I can close that chapter now and put it in my historybooks, haha
- It became a Super Fair race, Man to Man, because of the conditions, so the strongest survived today and won and that I can accept.

Marino, superknappe race - enorm veel respect voor je prestatie. Maar wat moet Kienle dan zeggen \'kindjes hebben mij een platte band doen krijgen\', komaan zeg...je bent een superatleet, en een prof: een scheve derailleur en te hard tegenwind duwen heeft gewoon teveel krachten gekost...en als je ziet dat een bekertje leeg is of een spons te droog en je moet er absoluut een hebben...vertraag dan 5 seconden of gebruik een fuel belt, zeker in het begin van de marathon met 8 minuten voorsprong. Een dusdanige verzuring dat je in de ambulance moet, gebeurt niet in een paar kilometer - dat is gewoon te ver in het rood gaan en/of met uitdroging/verzuring aan de marathon beginnen. De ganse triathlon wereld heeft genoten van je van je sterke prestatie tijdens het fietsen dit jaar in Hawai, ik kijk al uit naar je volgende Kona. |
