Well, it took the obligatory 3 attempts to finally participate in a sport event. Although I was not in a good shape and the biking section was questionable, the desire to take part in was strong.
As the beginning of race on 31st of July was shifted a bit due to bad weather, we had a chance to fill in the biker vacancy. Quite swiftly we met Ondrej, an enthusiastic PT teacher, who agreed to compete with us. Even quicker we got the need equipment for him.
The race started with a swimming part of 1km in Kolpassky Tajch, which Lenka has finished superbly. Afterwards Ondrej took his 2 rounds of 25km cycling. Unfortunately, as he slipped and fell down on a muddy road in the 2nd round, our promising 10th place actualized to 14th position before running.
With my abilities, I had not much more options, than to try to catch and over-run the closest opponent on that 8km run. And that’s also how it finished; 13th place out of 17 participating relay teams. Not bad at all!
