IRONMAN South Africa - The Facts

IRONMAN Südafrika – Die Fakten

An diesem Wochenende steht für Langstrecken-Triathlonfans auf der ganzen Welt der IRONMAN Südafrika im Mittelpunkt, ein spannendes und heiß umkämpftes Event. Das Rennen beginnt in der weltberühmten Nelson Mandela Bay in Port Elizabeth, bevor es auf die wohl spektakulärste Radstrecke der IRONMAN-Welttournee geht. Die letzte Etappe ist ein schneller, flacher Marathon am Strand, der wahrscheinlich die Entscheidung über die Podiumsplätze bringen wird.

Dieses Rennen wird die erste IRONMAN-Regionalmeisterschaft des Jahres 2019 sein, und da in Kona Plätze für mindestens die ersten beiden Finisher in der Männer- und Frauenkategorie angeboten werden, wird es an der Spitze einen großen Kampf geben. Drei Top-Athleten der Zone3 werden im Männerrennen antreten. Behalten Sie die Zone3-Athleten Josh Amberger, Tim Don und Bart Aernouts im Auge!

MÄNNERRENNEN-VORSCHAU

Das Rennen der Männer verspricht ein spannendes Rennen zu werden, mit vielen starken Konkurrenten, aber keinem wirklichen Favoriten. Die Führung wird während des Rennens wahrscheinlich häufig wechseln, also rechnen Sie damit, das ganze Rennen über live dabei zu sein!

Die erste Etappe des Rennens wird voraussichtlich von Josh Amberger (AUS) dominiert, der allgemein als der schnellste Schwimmer im Langstrecken-Triathlon gilt und in der letzten Saison bei unzähligen Veranstaltungen als Erster aus dem Wasser kam. Darüber hinaus hat er bei diesen Regionalmeisterschaften eine beeindruckende Erfolgsbilanz vorzuweisen. 2018 verließ Josh das Wasser allein in 46:24, fast 2 Minuten vor seinem nächsten Konkurrenten. Mit dem neuen Vanquish auf dem Rücken wird Josh 2019 noch schneller sein und hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, auf die oberste Stufe des Siegerpodests zu klettern.

Auch der wiederkehrende Champion von 2018, Kyle Buckingham (RSA), wird um die Podiumsplätze kämpfen und hofft, mit seinem starken Marathon gegen Ende des Rennens durchzustarten.

Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt auch Bart Aernouts (BEL), der nach seiner phänomenalen Leistung bei den IRONMAN-Weltmeisterschaften in Kona, Hawaii, letzte Saison wieder an hochklassigen Rennen teilnehmen wird. Bei diesem Event wurde er Zweiter und war damit erst der zweite Mensch, der bei diesem berühmten Rennen die 8-Stunden-Barriere durchbrach. Für Bart ist dieses Rennen eine Rückkehr nach Südafrika, wo er zuletzt 2015 antrat und den 3. Platz belegte. David McNamee (GBR), der in Kona neben Bart den dritten Platz auf dem Podium belegte, wird ebenfalls beim IRONMAN Südafrika antreten und versuchen, sich für die Veranstaltung 2019 zu qualifizieren.

Tim Don (GBR) wird seine Saison 2019 mit einem Paukenschlag beim IRONMAN Südafrika beginnen, fest entschlossen, sich mit einem starken Rennen für die Weltmeisterschaft zu qualifizieren. Tims Rückkehr zur Form im Jahr 2018 war eine Reise rund um die Welt, und dieser frühere IRONMAN-Weltrekordhalter ist eine Macht, mit der man rechnen muss, wenn er in Topform ist. Seine Zeit von 7:40:23 beim IRONMAN Brasilien 2017 ist immer noch die zweitschnellste aller Zeiten und der britische IRONMAN-Rekord. Tim ist ein harter Wettkämpfer und phänomenaler Allround-Triathlet, daher werden viele Fans ihn während des gesamten Rennens anfeuern.

Tim erzählte uns: „Ich bin total begeistert, endlich an einem IRONMAN in Südafrika teilzunehmen. Es ist wie ein zweites Zuhause für mich, da ich hier im Laufe meiner Karriere so viel trainiert habe. Das Teilnehmerfeld ist riesig und ich bin bereit für die Herausforderung. Die Zuschauer hier sind immer unglaublich, also hoffe ich, dass sie mir zu einem Top-Ergebnis verhelfen können!“

VORSCHAU FÜR DAS FRAUENRENNEN

Auch beim Frauenrennen wird es von Anfang an rasant zugehen: Die beiden schnellsten Schwimmerinnen im Langstrecken-Triathlon werden gleich zu Beginn das Tempo anziehen.

Die zurückkehrende Meisterin von 2018, Lucy Charles (GBR), wird für ihr erstes Rennen der Saison zum IRONMAN Südafrika zurückkehren. Lucy führte das Rennen 2018 vom Startschuss bis zum Ziel und erzielte dabei die schnellsten Schwimm- und Radzeiten. Sie wird dieses Jahr beim IRONMAN Südafrika diejenige sein, die man im Auge behalten sollte, obwohl ihr der Weg zum Sieg nicht leicht fallen wird.

Lauren Brandon (USA) wird Lucy beim Schwimmen dicht auf den Fersen sein und wird mit ihren Radfahrkünsten wahrscheinlich den Großteil des Rennens mitmischen. Lauren kam 2018 in Kona als Zweite aus dem Wasser, also ist damit zu rechnen, dass sie nach dem Schwimmen in Südafrika auf derselben Position sein wird!

Das deutsche Duo Anja Ippach und Mareen Hufe wird während des gesamten Rad- und Lauftrainings hart um die Wette jagen, um in den Wettbewerb einzusteigen. Die beiden haben bereits eine große Anzahl an IRONMAN- und 70.3-Podiumsplätzen erreicht. Nach einem langen Trainingsblock auf den Kanarischen Inseln wird Anja Ippach nun die Radstrecke aufmischen, um sich ihren Qualifikationsplatz für Kona zu sichern.

Ein weiterer Name, den man im Auge behalten sollte, ist Angela Naeth (CAN), die 2018 einen Großteil der Zeit damit verbrachte, sich von Borreliose zu erholen. Diese Infektion wurde ursprünglich durch einen Zeckenbiss verursacht und ließ sie in der letzten Saison bettlägerig sein und nicht trainieren. Jedes Rennen im letzten Jahr war ein kleiner Schritt und eine Lernerfahrung, wie man trainiert und die hohen Standards erfüllt, die von einer professionellen Triathletin verlangt werden, und wurde letztes Jahr mit einem Top-10-Ergebnis bei den IRONMAN-Weltmeisterschaften in Kona belohnt!

Want to swim without getting tired? It’s all about breathing and technique… 1️⃣ Stay Streamlined Keep your body flat and straight, with a slight rotation with each stroke. Engage your core and don’t look up - this will stop your legs from sinking. 2️⃣ Breathe Smoothly Stick to a steady breathing rhythm—breathe every 2-3 strokes or switch sides every 3 if that works. Control your exhale underwater, so you can inhale when you turn to breath. 3️⃣ Relax Your Strokes Don’t fight the water—stretch your arms out, glide, then pull. Keep it long and smooth to save energy. 4️⃣ Kick Efficiently Use small, gentle flutter kicks to stay balanced. A 2-beat kick (one kick per arm stroke) is great for long swims. 5️⃣ Master Your Pull Keep your elbows high for a strong catch and pull the water back with your forearms and hands. You want to feel the water’s pressure against your arm and hand for a powerful stroke. 6️⃣ Build Endurance Gradually Add interval training to your swim sessions to build endurance: swim 50-100m, rest for 15-20 seconds, and repeat. Over time, reduce rest or swim further to build endurance. #swimbikerun #triathlontraining #swimming #triathlon #triathlete #zone3official

Have you paid much attention to what you’re doing with your hands as they enter the water? Having a relaxed hand is best - not cupped but not too wide. This allows optimal force to push and pull the water! What do you do with your hands?

Level up your swim game with hand paddles 🏊‍♂️💪 Swim hand paddles are a game changer for building strength, improving technique, and adding power to your stroke. They give extra resistance in the water, helping to boost your upper body strength and nail the catch phase. When used correctly, they make your arms and shoulders stronger, and they also sharpen your feel for the water, refining your form and giving you that smooth, powerful glide. #swimming #triathlete #swimbikerun #Zone3official #triathlontraining #swimmingtips #poolswimming

Be honest, do you do these steps after each swim to keep your goggles in good condition? 1️⃣ Give Them a Rinse After each swim, rinse your goggles with fresh water to get rid of chlorine, salt, and grime. 2️⃣ Hands Off the Lenses Don’t touch or rub the inside of the lenses – it’ll help keep the anti-fog coating working properly. 3️⃣ Let Them Dry Naturally Leave your goggles to air dry completely before putting them away. 4️⃣ Store Them Safely Pop them in a protective case when you’re not using them to stop scratches on the lenses!
