I wrote about my motivation to go on this trip in one of the first posts. The long-distance triathlon I had signed up for was one of them.
So this event took place today.
After coming home from my bike trip, I had a cold for more than a week. Normally I couldn't care less.. but in this case I was worried if I could start at the triathlon.
Then last night it was raining so heavly here in Copenhagen, it looked as if it would be nothing but torture to start on the triathlon today.
But in the end, it was an excellent day. Almost no wind in the morning, so the water was calm, no waves.. and swimming in the sea (or a laguna actually) was much easier than expected.
Cycling - well, I think the trip was maybe not the perfect training, but it was still good training, and so I didn't have to suffer too much on the bike.
Running - it is a little painful in the beginning, and it was very painful towards the end. But still it was fun and I really enjoyed it. Sounds like a lie - but I did!
So after 12h 43min I crossed the finish line - and now I am as happy as one can possibly be!
