Ironman Austria:
I went to Austria on business and decided to do this race. I was training hard and had a sub-10 hour goal in mind. However, the week before I was traveling through Germany, Netherlands and Austria…and two days before the race I came down with a horrible cold from airlines and hotels.
Despite that I did my best bike split ever in an Ironman race. The course is beautiful with a ride through the Austrian Alps. At the pre-race meeting, I got to meet IM legend Mark Allen (had him autograph my race program).
The swim is in a lake with a finish in a canal! As you swim up the canal it was full some algae (a little murky). I ended up with a sinus infection from hell after this event – blood and “gunk” flowed out of my sinuses and nose while on a flight to the Philippines about a week after this event. But – I still loved the Race.
The run is mostly flat and is a double loop course. It runs along a beach (topless in true European fashion which converts runners into spectators) and also along a narrow canal in the shade. Then, it takes the runners through the new and old parts of the town of Klagenfurt with cobblestones and a large dragon fountain (the town’s mascot).
I love this race – just wish I had been feeling well for it 🙂
