Edi Fuchs, powered by power2max, is European Champion

Eduard_Fuchs_Europameister

 

4 days. 5 hours and 11 Minutes – this is the time, the Eduard „Edi“ Fuchs needed, to become the first Austrian to win the Ultra Cycling European Championships.
At the second longest Ultra-Cycling-Event in the world, the Race Around Ireland, Edi’s competitors could only defy him at the beginning of the 2159 km. However, the Austrian already pulled away on the second day oft he race and managed to extend steadily his lead.

It seemed that the course was perfectly made for Edi, as the athletes had to get over climbs with a slope up to 23%.

Meanwhile Edi was flying uphill, his pursuers lost meter by meter.

With an average pace of almost 22km/h, Edi crossed the finish line in Navan (close to Dublin) after 101 hours and a lead of 15 hours over the second.

Congratulations, Edi!

power2max triathletes very successful

Nils_Frommhold_Kanada

 

On his way to the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Nils Frommhold stopped in Mont Tremblant for the 70.3 World Championships. In his first 70.3 Worlds, Nils became 5th and finished 2nd best German, although he did not have a „smooth start“, as he said later. He only was 11th out oft he water. However, on the bike he could close the gap to the leaders after 25k and managed to get out oft he second transition within the first group. Javier Gomez (ESP) and Jan Frodeno (GER) immediately attacked on the 21k run course, but Nils stayed calm and ran a tactically clever half marathon.

Mont Tremblant seemed to be the race for athletes coming from the Olympic Distance. Javier Gomez and Jan Frodeno faught for the title among themselves. The bronze medal took the Tim Don (GB), powered by power2max, with a clear lead of Lionel Sander (CAN), 4th place, and Nils Frommhold, 5th.

In France, another power2max athlete was very successful. The French Antony Costes, participated in the Isostar Extreme Man Narbonne – 1.9 km swim, 85 k bike and 21 k run. The fastest swim and the best bike split meant, that Antony got out of T2 with a 2 min lead. The other athletes fought hard, but could not catch him in the end.

Congratulations guys, good job!
