After what feels like an eternity, the first real races slowly reappear on the calendar. That in itself is motivation enough for me, so I’m not picky about the discipline.
After I tried out time trials two weeks ago, last weekend the national championship hill was on the agenda. It was a bike race on the road, held on a hilly circuit. I was sure it would be more my thing than time trials.
What does it take to win a virtual bike race in the 2nd Bundesliga Triathlon?
A short review of the Zwift race of the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga Triathlon last weekend and an analysis of the power data and strategy that (possibly) led to the day’s victory in the 2nd Bundesliga North.
Maybe you remember my article about alternative racing and challenges. A short time later, as luck would have it, the Zwift Tri Series was announced. A race series on Zwift, initiated by Tri Team Hamburg, which should bring us virtual racing fun as long as there is no Triathlon Bundesliga.
I had to be there, of course. Eight weeks, eight races, different distances, always full gas. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
And because everything went so well, the 1st and 2nd Triathlon Bundesliga will officially start next Sunday. With a bike race on Zwift and a livestream to watch!
We think that the most important thing in sports (and not only in sports) is to have fun!
That’s why we sometimes do things that may not fit perfectly into the training plan, simply because we enjoy it. Trying something different is exciting, creates new experience and more motivation.
