Announcement ( FFWD Wheels )

Hi folks,

I am proud to announce that we start a cooperation with FFWD wheels (link on the logo on right side). It is a beginning, they support me with some huge discount, so I bought a pair of race wheels. Namely: Rear: FFWD Disc, Front: FFWD F5R.


I just came back from a test ride. 'st of all the sound of the wheels are already awesome. I feel they ll be a good partner in some hard break away trys very soon. You know, get going and get in the flow, pushing pedals hard, and listen to the noise of these fast wheels.


Secondly they are very light! F5R is just like a feather. Disc also lighter than my Shimano training rear wheel, plus once it is got going, feels so good to push hard.


Here u are some pics below:







Tooo light




























That s bro. Do not go anywhere without a "fasirt".Yep.



















Also had today some, fast fast running session, which is just great regarding, that a few days ago finished IM 70.3 Austria.


Pics :) :
















CSepel, track :)














See ya soon

St.Pölten Ironman 70.3

It was an awesome experience. Dont know where to start. In this photo that is Chris McCormack in front of me, Marino Vanhoanecker is not on it, but still he is the one was leading us and the whole field. And that s Marko Albert with green bike on the left.We are on our way on 18km part of S33 autobahn.

Too bad, that around 30Km at the top of the hill I got dropped bc a little gap opened and also rear derailleur didin't want to work properly. Not to mention that the big boys were using Discs, while me rolling my old trusty training set :) It was only 1 day, and I would have ridden my discs too, and probably finish bike with them.

Anyway still managed to ride only 6 min slower today than fastest bike split, which is 10 minutes faster than last year's (that was my 2nd attempt on half distance, this was 3rd).

But beginning all with the start. I positioned myself next to Marko Albert since I knew he s a talented athlete, and will dictate just the best and most comfortable pace for me. Also will post a photo below, where we wish good luck to each other. Both of us are Blueseventy athletes, so I dismissed my plan to exit water 1st. Anyway he was leadin the whole way, so it was just fair like this, leting he be the 1st to step on shore. We got away with 40ish seconds I think, and exited water together. After a quick transition (he yes, me was bit slow :) )we instantly found ourselves on S33 "autobahn rolling. After a couple of Ks Macca and Marino caught us, so we continoued 4 together. They worked only, I was hanging there keeping 10ish meters. I am just a rookie so it was fine. "The rest is history."

On the run I started good kind of a 1h20min half d. pace, but got cramps aroung 8 and suffered, needed to stop, also felt pretty dizzy. Just ate something and kept going. Found rythm again, while still cramping. Around 15ish K mark got "fast stomach" and needed to visit loo badly. Started again, found good rythm, cramping more... Before 500 m to go, needed to go to loo again but more badly than ever, fortunately just passed a toi toi. Rigth after the incident sprinted whole way to finish line in a hope i ll might pass anyone got in front of me while having "trouble" :) Without these stops clear run split was around 1h26min. Which is just 12 mins faster than last attempt.

Race will be on tv on 17th of June, on Eurosport, and sometimes on ORF1. Also available short coverages on both channles' website.

A short copy from race report:

"Austria IRONMAN 70.3 2009: The world champion wins in St. Pölten!
After an exciting day of racing Chris McCormack wins in 3:54:15, moments ahead of Marino Vanhoenacker at the 3rdThe Austria IRONMAN 70.3 had an impressive list of PRO’s on the starting line, which included names like McCormack, Vanhoenacker and Wallenhorst. The number of entrants had quadruple in its third year and the race was set to fulfil everybody’s expectations of an all out day of extreme racing...

Marko Albert (EST) set a new swim record in (0:23:18), followed by Adam Molnar (HUN) and Chris McCormack in fifth. The first woman out of the water was Lucie Zelenkova (CZE) chased by Eva Dollinger (AUT) in 0:25:26 and Gina Ferguson (NZE) in 0:25:30.On the bike course Chris McCormack (AUS) took an early lead ahead of Adam Molnar (HUN). At k 21 there was a change of leaders as Marino Vanhoenacker (BEL) overtook McCormack. Albert Marko (EST) and Adam Molnar (HUN) were close behind.

2009 Buschütten Triathlon

Hi,

Here you are a very nice video coverage about the race:

http://www.tri-mag.de/index.php/200905102311/Kurzstrecke/Buschhutten-Kienle-verteidigt-seinen-Thron.html

and a race report also available on the link (in deutch):
"Der musste um seinen zweiten Sieg wie erwartet hart kämpfen: Nach 11:54 Minuten beendete der Ungar Adam Molnar als Erster die 1.000-Meter-Schwimmstrecke im beheizten Freibad, das Hauptfeld schlug etwa 15 Sekunden später an... "

Huge thanx for Blueseventy, helping me to race there, and also providing such a great swimsuit as Pointzero3. How else would it be possible to swim that was, while feeling that easy!

Was so disappointed, having the main mistales done, ohh just as I started doing triathlon this year. Bad, bad.

But good thing in bad things, my hunger grew to show my abilities in St.Pölten Ironman 70.3, 24th of MAy.

See you around

Season Opener (Margit Island)

A good block of training in pocket since the TT race on 5th of March. Really enjoyed to get back to the rythm and do weeks after weeks, and follow all orders from coach Woody.

Still have work to do untill St.Pölten, but we had a little rest of a breath and inserted a sprint triathlon. I was glad that I could so-so follow orders, and did a flawless victory. From the start untill the finish line, all alone, doing my race. I didnt have any expectation about swim. Therefore it was a pretty big surprise I got away easily, have no clue, but must have been something like 20 seconds from 2nd fastest swimmer.
Bike was all good, only couldn't move faster as command said. I gained like 1 min 30 second-ish gap on 2nd, and a nice 9-10 athlete group formed behind me. Including my bro, who is improving like with speed of light. He finshed 5th, and gained a lot of worthy experience, since it was his 2nd sprint race ever.
Run was quiet a fun, 1st felt strange, all body jelly. Than focused and put run together, and started to run faster and faster. But there was noone around so was not much forced to run really fast.

That s it.

NExt weekend hopefully I ll manage to get to Buschhütten and be able to compete the best athletes on a non-drafting olympic distance race. Elmar Heger from Blueseventy was so kind and helped me with registration, so Rainer secured a spot amongst pro athletes. Cant wait, it must ll be a good good fun, and pain :)

See ya
