September dump, one last push, and a pretty good way to close the triathlon season. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Sunrises, sunsets, sport, good food, and hikes where the calories somehow come with the activity. Best concept ever.

A month of chasing finish lines, golden hours, and good tables. 🌅🍽️ by @leochte

~ 2x2 Super Sprint Triathlon Hulst (20/09/26) ~
P1 🥇 & the 🏆
.
One last weekend, with a 2x2 Super Sprint relay the day after an Olympic triathlon in Zwolle. Because apparently, one race wasn’t quite enough to finish the season. 🫠

A team win on the day, followed by a 1st place overall in Eerste Divisie Zuid and next year, Watersley/TC Maastricht will be racing in Eredivisie. What a way to close the chapter.

Proud to finish my season on a high, and even more grateful to have shared the start lines, the suffering, and the good moments with these guys throughout the year.

Now it’s time to recover, breathe, and let the winter season begin. 🌊🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

See you next season.

One of the last dances of the season. 🌊

~ 1/4 Triathlon Zwolle (19/09/26) ~
P5
.
Saturday brought an Olympic-distance triathlon with a little bit of everything. The swim came with some proper waves, luckily, right in my wheelhouse and I managed to come out of the water first.

Then came the bike… with a solid Force 5 wind. At that point, staying on the bike felt like a perfectly respectable objective. 🌬️🚴‍♂️

The run was all about finding the rhythm and holding the pace, while the guys up front were simply playing a different game.

I crossed the line in 5th overall, another solid day in the books, and one of the last chapters of the season. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Rainy day.

~ Sprint Triathlon Ratingen (13/09/26) ~
P5 & 4th team
.
A snake-shaped swim, apparently somewhere in orbit, followed by a bike ride through a rather enthusiastic amount of rain. The run was a little kinder : steady, controlled, and somehow still enjoyable.

I crossed the line in 5th, while the team took 4th on the day, securing 3rd overall in the final standings, just one point ahead of 4th.

Now we wait to find out whether this season was enough to bring us back to NRW Liga next year. Whatever happens, grateful for the races, the team, and everything in between. 💙

And just when you thought the season was over… one last triathlon weekend remains. Because apparently, three disciplines weren’t enough. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Penultimate race weekend of the season. 'coz apparently, ending the season with one race at a time was too simple 🫣

This weekend : a sprint triathlon in Ratingen, and my last race of the year with the BSV crew.

We’re currently sitting 3rd overall, just one point ahead 4th. A strong result could bring us one step closer to NRW Liga.

One last dance with the team. One big push. And then… two more races next weekend. Yes, two 🫠🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Note to myself : bring the right trisuit 💙 by @leochte

August dump, a month somewhere between equations, recovery, and the never-ending quest for fitness.

Some quiet moments to breathe, miles turning into rhythm, water into motion, and tired legs slowly remembering their purpose.

The second half of triathlon season is officially underway. The legs are waking up, the numbers are adding up, and somehow the maths still doesn’t explain why this seemed like a good idea.

Back to work, one stroke, one pedal, one step at a time. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ by @leochte

~ Triathlon OD Riesenbeck - Regionalliga (30/08/26) ~
P11 & 2nd team 🏅
.
Sunday came with the usual triathlon recipe: long drive, short night (despite everything, longer than expected 😅) , and absolutely no time to waste 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Racing with the BSV crew in the German Regionalliga, I managed to squeeze in an 11th place finish, while the team grabbed a well-deserved 2nd place on the podium. 🥈

A busy day, a tired body, but another beautiful chapter in the books.

~ Sprint Triathlon Leiderdorp (23/08/26) ~
P11 & 1st team 🏅
.
A windy Sunday in Leiderdorp, racing with the Watersley/TCM crew in Eerste Divisie Zuid. The first chapter of a long month of racing ended in the best possible way : 1st team overall. Eredivisie is slowly appearing on the horizon.

As for me, 11th place, just one step away from the top 10, and a good reminder that patience and consistency still do most of the work.

Three races left, plenty of road ahead, and a story that is only just beginning. 🌿🏁 taken in Leiderdorp, Holland by @leochte

Summer break is over 🌿

4 races in 5 weeks, starting this Sunday with the boys from TCM in Eerste Divisie Zuid.

Time to trade lazy summer miles for race-day adrenaline, questionable pacing, and a few good stories.

Let the comeback begin. 🏁 by @leochte

Long evenings, hot days, and ideas that somehow keep turning into adventures.

Good food, pétanque, runs, walks, late nights, sunsets by the sea, and an outdoor movie under a sky that did most of the work.

The legs finally came back online: a team win, a home-ground victory, and a 100 km bike ride just to watch a friend pole vault. Because apparently, “why not?” is a valid training plan.

Somewhere between watercolor, competition, and quiet summer nights, July was mostly about enjoying the ride, preferably with good people and slightly questionable decisions. 🌅🚲 by @leochte
