Overall victory by Annette Jaffke at the traditional 29th olympic triathlon in Echternach. Under hot weather conditions, she managed to take the lead shortly after the swim to win easily by more than 11min with an end time of 2h15’54”. Congratulations from the whole team and committee!
Our 2 newest members, the twins Christophe and Stephane Schroeder, did very well for their 1st race under the X3M-flag : Stephane finished on 34th rank, Christophe got 48th
Carlo Feltes (80th) and Cyril Henricot (94th) topped off the good performances of the X3M participants.
Early in the morning, 3 of our athletes raced the Sprint Triathlon over a distance of 750m-20km-5km. Pascal Duhautpas finished on 11th rank overall, Samuel Nilles finished on 20th rank and our vice-president, Chris Rola, was happy to finish on a good 76th place out of 134 finishers. Well done.
On Saturday, Nina Gorges (swim), David Claerebout (bike) and Carlo Feltes (run) participated as a team at the Team Triathlon going over the Sprint distance. After a strong swim part, Nina left the water in 8th position and gave the chip to David, who raced like hell to reach the 2nd transition in 1st place (with best bike split overall riding an average of 43km/h!!!). Despite a steady run by Carlo, the team finished on 4th position overall.
Thank you all for your participation and your good results!
