Fit for Fun Triathlete Alexander happy after Hamburg Triathlon

July 24th, 2010

Fit for Fun triathlete Alexander with coach Glen.

“Hi Glen, hier mein Ergebnis, war so schnell wie das letztes Jahr mit Neo.

Und das nachdem ich 2 Wochen nicht/nicht richtig trainieren konnte und erst zu 85-90% fit bin.

Schwimm: 28,53min. ohne Neo,

d.h. mit Neo wäre ich natürlich schneller gewesen

Schwimmen ging super, hab mich ohne Neo sehr gut gefühlt, bin ganz locker angegangen und leider aus Angst viel zu locker durchgeschwommen, hatte aber ein super Rhytmus fast nur 3er Atmung. Es wäre bestimmt mehr drin gewesen, wollte aber wegen der Erkältung nicht Vollgas geben, bin ganz entspannt aus dem Wasser gekommen. Nächstes mal werde ich bestimmt schneller sein….

Vielen Dank Glen.

Gruss Alexander

Instant success after Tenerife Camp!

July 5th, 2010

Only one week after Swimstars Swim Camp on T3, Tenerife some swimmers took the advantage of all the good training and technique work and swam new best times in their home countries. In France Salima Bouyad (50) won 6 titles at the French Masters Championships winning 100m-200m-400m-800m Freestyle, 200m IM and the 3km Open Water. The 200m freestyle and 200m IM were new best times for Salima who also took the SwimStar Instructor licence on Tenerife. In Hamburg 2 x IronMan participant Rebecca Goldbach swam new best times in, for her, the short distances 50m Free (31,09) and 100m Free (1.07,05) at the 26th Poseidion Traditional swimfest.
