Imust admit I’m not a big fan of the amount of World Championships titles there are triathlon.
For me there is one and only that matters.
The ITU WCS medals that is.
Thats the olympic version of triathlon. That’s the pinacle of the sport. Thats where the deep high class field is.
Not taking the glory of IronMan Hawaii. But it’s a different sport.
It’s fantastic athletes – but a complete different world from mine.
So now we have a Sprint World Championship as well?
Does it matter? How heavy is that medal actually going to be?
Looking at the field I think it will be a decent race with accurate and fair medals.
It will be interesting as some juniors might be gunning to take down some big names.
The dynamics are very different from the WCS races.
Leg speed will be more important that efficiency.
Lausannes hills will favor the strong bikers instead of swimmers.
It will be interesting.
For me it will be a good speed hit out. Two days of short sharp racing.
A step towards more speed in my legs.
A step closer to Budapest.
I’m not here with some big goals in mind.
But if I somehow would manage to get one – it would be very important for my country.
A country where triathlon now is beginning to grow.
A country that will have a young and inspired team on the start line for the Team World Champs.
How could I miss not being a part of that?
I’m in Davos. It’s a train trip.
I wouldn’t miss it for the world!
