About 10000 spectators watched Alistair Brownlee winning his 3rd European Championchip title. By the way, it was the 5th time for him to win the race here in Kitzbühl. 2nd place for the Russian Dmitry Polyanskiy, and 3rd place, for the Spanish Vincente Hernandez.
The decision over the victory was fought on the running course, during the bike part the whole field was almost together.
Age Group National Team European Championships over the Olympic distance 1,5 – 40 – 10
About 2000 athletes wanted to participate on Sunday, the 22.06.14
The AG went separately on the course.
After 1.5km of swimming, the triathletes went on a very impressive and spectacular bike course.
A constant view over the fantastic mountain scenery (The Wilde Kaiser). You had to ride three really hard bike rounds, which went most of the time uphill.
You got about 800m of altitude on the 40km bike course.
The conditions were fanastic
My family supported me throughout the race.
The whole course were attended by viewers.
The final run, around the „Schwarzsee“, went through a wonderful landscape.
You had to run 2ties around the lake, before you could cross the finish line.
The whole race was awesome!
Thank you Steffi, Lina-Marie and Madita for you support, as well like Ron for his help before.
