Race number 3 was up for the BSG series this past
weekend. I was feeling good after my 2nd place the previous week and
I hoped that I can do well again. The same athletes form last week were racing,
so we knew what to expect from each one.
Everyone did what they were supposed to do; Jeff came
out the water first with Erhard, Pieter and I chasing him down.
I thought this was going to be a replay of last week’s
race. It was, until half way on the bike when Erhard made a gap and we didn’t
put much effort in to chase him down. We were playing cat and mouse and handed
the race on a silver platter to Erhard. It was a one man effort to try and chase
him down. After a while I realized that Michael Davidson is chasing us and he
can run like a demon. I tried to warn my group but they didn’t want to listen,
so I decided to work and try to keep a gap so that Davidson can’t catch me.
I ran like a mad man trying to keep in front of Michael,
which I did. I felt quite good on the run so I was happy that my legs were
feeling good. In the end I was 2nd again, I am happy with the result
but the race didn’t go according to plan. Michael in the end finished 3rd
.
Its now time for a short break from racing triathlon
and time to focus on the Continental Run2Stop charity Challenge over the next 9
days. Looking very much forward to this.
Until then
Cheers
