I earned my World Championship qualification in May at Ironman Lanzarote, then raced Challenge Kraichgau four weeks later, and Challenge Roth four weeks after that.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/07/challenge-roth-ein-rennen-der-anderen-art/Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:26:06 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/07/challenge-roth-ein-rennen-der-anderen-art/First it comes differently, and second differently than you'd think... That's more or less how my 12th long-distance race can be summed up in a nutshell.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/06/challenge-kraichgau-platz-3-bei-der-dt-meisterschaft-auf-der-mitteldistanz/Fri, 20 Jun 2014 07:26:20 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/06/challenge-kraichgau-platz-3-bei-der-dt-meisterschaft-auf-der-mitteldistanz/Last Sunday I raced Challenge Kraichgau over 1.9km swim, 90km bike and 21.1km run — my 9th start at this event, more than at any other race.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/05/ironman-lanzarote-racing-on-the-edge/Mon, 26 May 2014 04:42:34 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/05/ironman-lanzarote-racing-on-the-edge/Before the actual race report I want to briefly explain how I ended up at Ironman Lanzarote — since I got asked about it a lot and the answer usually drew raised eyebrows. As if Ironman races weren't already hard enough...https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/05/once-again-aloha/Sun, 18 May 2014 15:20:42 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/05/once-again-aloha/See you in Kona, Hawaii, October 2014:https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/04/heidelberg-halbmarathon-fast/Tue, 08 Apr 2014 07:35:28 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2014/04/heidelberg-halbmarathon-fast/...it would have been a new personal best over the half marathon distance, but only just — 3 seconds short. Still, I'm very happy with it.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2013/08/when-dreams-come-true/Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:08:51 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2013/08/when-dreams-come-true/...or what's been a long time coming finally works out... Ever since I switched from pure cyclist to triathlete about 8 years ago, I've had this dream of the legendary Hawaii, the mecca of all triathletes and hosthttps://chrisgross.racing/archives/2012/07/ironman-frankfurt-ein-leidensbericht/Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:42:16 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2012/07/ironman-frankfurt-ein-leidensbericht/Last weekend I raced at Ironman Frankfurt — my 7th race over the full distance of 3.8km swimming, 180km cycling, and 42.2km running. It was to be my best race yet in terms of time, but one of my worst in terms of pacing.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2012/06/citytriathlon-heilbronn-1-platz-in-der-ak-14-platz-gesamt/Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:22:39 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2012/06/citytriathlon-heilbronn-1-platz-in-der-ak-14-platz-gesamt/… those are the cold hard numbers from yesterday's race, the last test before Ironman Frankfurt. Or in other words: my very first age group win at a triathlon, and my second-best overall placing ever!!!https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2012/06/challenge-kraichgau-und-jahrlich-grusst-das-murmeltier-3/Tue, 12 Jun 2012 06:44:20 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2012/06/challenge-kraichgau-und-jahrlich-grusst-das-murmeltier-3/… or slow start, strong finish?!?!? Both pretty much characterize the key points of my race, but more on that later. After the workload of the previous days I was anything but rested at the start line.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/ironman-germany-bestes-karriere-rennen-ohne-happy-end/Fri, 29 Jul 2011 19:28:10 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/ironman-germany-bestes-karriere-rennen-ohne-happy-end/My longest day of the year started early — the alarm went off just before 4am. I'd slept well and felt good; my legs were loose and I was mentally ready for the challenge ahead.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/raceday-neue-bestzeit-bei-monsterbedingungen/Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:38:38 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/raceday-neue-bestzeit-bei-monsterbedingungen/A full race report will follow in the next few days — for now I just want to hit the highlights in bullet point form. 'Monster conditions' is, by the way, a direct quote from men's winner Faris Al-Sultan.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/06/triathlon-maxdorf-oder-wie-uberlebt-man-eine-mitteldistanz-mit-nur-einem-einzigen-gel-2/Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:19:15 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/06/triathlon-maxdorf-oder-wie-uberlebt-man-eine-mitteldistanz-mit-nur-einem-einzigen-gel-2/Yesterday was the second middle-distance race in a week — the Triathlon in Maxdorf: 2km swim, 85km bike, 20km run. Straight out of training, no taper, and somehow only one single gel for the whole thing.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/06/challenge-kraichgau-ups-downs/Sun, 05 Jun 2011 22:27:07 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/06/challenge-kraichgau-ups-downs/… or me and the race marshals… It started already on Saturday at check-in when my TT helmet failed inspection. And today brought the follow-up: my very first time penalty in my triathlon career.
