Rain of medals for DM sprint
There was rain of medals for the Aarhus 1900 Triathlon at the DM in sprint (750-20-5) which was held on Saturday 20 May at Bastrup Sø, Ganløse. Pernille Thalund became Danish champion, while it became both silver and bronze for the men for the DM team (6 men in the top 15 (32 completed) is historically great!) .
- Pernille Thalund became Danish champion among the elite
- Oliver Korfitsen was the best men's elite with his 6th place
- Kristian Broløs was No. 3 in the U23 elite
- Andreas Nørgaard was no. 3 in men's junior elite
- In the team competition, the men won both silver and bronze with 6 men in the top 15!

- Lavra Havgaard was No. 2 for the 16-17 year olds
Søren Bystrup wins the EC
Søren Bystrup has many times come close to winning a championship medal of the finest carat, so it was a great redemption when he finally succeeded, and even on home soil.
Søren Bystrup says: ”this is huge for me. I have won 6 medals at major championships in the past, but never a gold one. To do it this way, in front of family and friends and in a close sprint with the defending champion, Felix, it couldn't be more perfect.”
An exciting showdown between Bystrup, Felix Köhler (GER) and Seppe Odeyn (BEL) was planned in advance, and it ended up being Bystrup and Köhler who fought for the European Championship on the run-up.
In the first 10km race, the race was really strong, and it was Danish Kasper Lauman (Tri4) who ensured that a split was created with the fastest running time of 31.05. Simon Jørn Hansen (KTK86) was just behind in 31.11 together with Köhler, while Bystrup was somewhat behind in 31.44.
Bystrup quickly made contact with the front group on the 60km hilly cycling. Simon Jørn was also in this group, while Lauman was removed.
At 35km, Bystrup launched an attack on the Østengård hill and the result was that he and the Dutchman De Groot had a lead in T2 of 1.00min down to a larger group including Simon Jørn Hansen.
In the final 10km race, there was excitement right to the end. Köhler and Simon Jørn Hansen came strongly from behind and it was first in the last meters that Bystrup was absolutely sure that the gold was at home. Simon Jørn Hansen ran home to a nice bronze medal and ensured a double Dane on the podium.

Kristian Høgenhaug runs 8:11:49 to Texas IM
Beneath follows a description of Kristian's race:
Swim was non-wetsuit so the 54:55 was as expected! 2:30 min behind the later winner Matt Hanson and 6 minutes from the front.
Kristian did 279W -> normalized 286W (we know his Vector 3 measures 15 watts below the "golden standard" SRM ergometer) on the 176.5km bike leg.
Average km/h was 42.2 vs. 42.5 in Almere (275W) where he posted a race bike record!
Unfortunately the 2:30min time deficit to Hanson on the swim, meant that the big bike group was gone! Conditions for a fast bike were perfect but a lot more guys than expected still posted very fast bike-splits (even despite the shortened bike). So how could this be?
1) The 12m of draft-rule does mean that even if you are 12m behind, you will still get a benefit of drafting in a big group (if we want the ironman to be a solo challenge a 20m rule should be the standard in most races -> at least for the pros!).
2) Rumors are that many did not have the same standards (and morals) as to the 12m as Kristian.
3) Supposedly, there was a lack of referees in total that day (some did not show up!) and the pro's were told at the race briefing that refereeing would be minimal for the second loop on the bike!?.
4) When Kristian caught up with the first small groups and realized they were on his wheels, he decided to hold back a little on his bike pace...
Further, after 5km on the bike Kristian lost the bottle with all his energy. The result is to go with as much energy as possible from the aid stations, but with difficulties in getting as much as planned (Kristian normally consumes 100-110 g carbs/h).
-----
On the run, the heat and the deficit in energy intake (vs. planned) on the bike meant that he slowed down a bit towards the end. Still posting 2:59:34 (GPS data is 41.67km - 2:57:48, probably started it a bit late).
-----
Total time 8:11:49 is very satisfying under the circumstances! Kristian did very well to stay in the race and keep fighting, keeping a cool head despite losing energy and not being in the position he had hoped! A lot of valuable lessons learned and kicking off the season with an early ironman will be a big advantage for the coming races!
Even more top performances in Aarhus and Almere
Kristian Høgenhaug made a fantastic performance in Almere for the EC long distance when he drove in as the 4th fastest Dane ever at the Ironman distance in a time of 8:08:40. At the same time, it reached fourth place at the EC! Thoroughly excellent performance.
In Ruegen, Pernille Thalund was also a really nice no. 4 in her debut in the elite field for 70.3 ironman in the time 4h 28min 41s.
For the DM team, the 1900 girls collect the gold, but unfortunately without any kind of competition. We hope that someone dares to challenge them next year. The 1900 boys do their best, but have to for the second weekend in move look beaten on the finish line, a paltry 6 sec. from the bronze and 58 sec. from the gold. Next year! On the youth side, we can mention the girls from 1900 Tri - Alligators, who wins silver for DM team for aspirant B. Well done!
There was also full speed over the field for the DM team, KMD 5150 and 4-18-4 in Århus at the weekend. At the Olympic distance, Jens Kristian Østergaard runs with the victory in a time of 2:05:12, while Maria Berggren and Henrik Tiedemann are no. 2 in each of their AG. For 4-18-4, Thomas Gedsig Nielsen runs with the gold, while Thomas Rind Carstensen is 3's. Gitta Walsted and Christian Aarosin become No. 2 in each of their AG.
Big triathlon weekend in Fredericia
