De gordel is yearly happening which carries a very political burden due to the ‘special’ Belgian situation. Anyway it is very wel organised and they measure your time when you climb the ‘Muur’ in Geeraardsbergen. It rained all day so the cobblestones where wet and slippery. It was very though butI managed it.

Well a big bummer. Swimming: 0:31:26 (163th/175) Cycling: 1:21:07 (162th/175) No running because I fell during cycling damaging myself and my bike. My swimming time was slower then normal, but if I didn’t fell during the cycling stage I would have a decent cycling time. Well it was my birthday and it was nice gift.

Running: 1:05:52 (165th time) Overal place: 149th/173 Reason my running stage was not as good as my two other stages was because I only ate two gels during cycling and no solid food. In the 6th [...]

Well after a gruelling training week in Spain (350km bicycling, 30km running and 3km swimming in the sea) I arrived in Brussels at Saturday and on Sunday I started the 20km of Brussels. My friend and I wagered that after this week of intensive 5 days training I wouldn’t be able to run the 20km [...]

My first 1/4th triathlon is finished and “o my god” was this a bad performance. It will teach me not to check out the bicycle stage. It went up and down and there was one motherfucking hill to climb. These are my times: Swimming – 28:43 (I still was 104th of 200 athletes) Bicycling – [...]
