Einführung

Norseman ist eines der wichtigsten Rennen der Xtreme Tri World Tour Circuit, bei der Athleten Langstrecken-Triathlons an einzigartig spektakulären und anspruchsvollen Orten auf der ganzen Welt bestreiten. Norseman wurde 2003 erstmals ausgetragen und war der Startpunkt für den wachsenden XTri-Zirkel. Das Rennen ist zu einer Art Triathlon-Legende geworden. Es ist weltweit für seine bemerkenswerte Strecke und seinen legendären Schwimmstart bekannt, dem man nur durch Fotos oder Videos gerecht werden kann. Ich werde mein Bestes tun, um diesen unglaublichen Tag in Worten zu beschreiben!

Für mich wäre das mein 5. Xtreme Triathlon. Ich habe dreimal am Swissman teilgenommen und 2018 zum ersten Mal am Norseman, wo ich Dritter wurde. 2019 fungierte der Norseman als XTri-Weltmeisterschaft und ich war entschlossen, weiter nach oben auf das Podium zu kommen! Ich wusste, dass die Konkurrenz von Anfang an hart sein würde, da Lucy Gossage angekündigt hatte, dass sie mitfahren würde, und Line Mari Langseth, die mich 2018 hart gepusht hatte, wieder dabei war. Es gab viele Frauen mit guter XTri-Erfahrung, was am Renntag enorm viel ausmacht.

Die XTri-Serie ist das, worauf ich meine gesamte Saison ausrichte. Sie ist für mich die wahre Herausforderung im Triathlon und das, was ich wirklich gerne mache. Da es dieses Jahr die XTri-Weltmeisterschaft ist, war dies DAS Rennen, bei dem ich antreten wollte. Ich bin nicht schnell genug, um auf kurzem Abstand auf hohem Niveau anzutreten, aber auf lange Distanzen und in brutalem Gelände komme ich wirklich zu mir selbst, also hoffte ich auf ein gutes Ergebnis.

Ich hatte mich 9 Tage vor dem diesjährigen Norseman für den Alpe d'Huez-Triathlon angemeldet, der mein letzter Fitnesstest und meine Vorbereitung auf den Norseman sein sollte. Das Training im Vorfeld war solide, aber am Renntag sollten die Temperaturen bei über 30 Grad liegen und ich wusste, dass es ein harter Tag werden würde. Als es an die Laufstrecke ging, wusste ich, dass es meine Leistung beim Norseman stark beeinträchtigen würde, wenn ich mich zu sehr verausgabte. Um für den großen Tag in Bestform zu bleiben, beschloss ich, vom Lauf in Alpe d'Huez zurückzutreten. Ich war bei Wind und Regen schon immer besser als bei strahlendem Sonnenschein, also drückt mir die Daumen für gute Bedingungen beim Norseman-Rennen!

Renntag

Die Fahrt mit der Fähre zum Schwimmstart ist immer voller Emotionen. Es ist dunkel, es ist kalt und man spürt die nervöse Aufregung in der Luft. Die Fahrt mit der Fähre zum Schwimmstart dauert 40 Minuten und nachdem man in den Neoprenanzug geschlüpft ist, bleibt genügend Zeit zur Selbstreflexion und zur Planung des nächsten Tages! Sobald sich die Tür der Fähre öffnet, hat man den ersten Blick auf den Hardangerfjord im Dunkeln und muss sich auf den Sprung von der Fähre ins kalte Wasser vorbereiten! Dies ist ein ganz besonderer Moment des Rennens und einer, auf den ich mich immer freue.

Da der Sommer wärmer war als zuvor, betrug die Wassertemperatur dieses Jahr sehr angenehme 16 Grad, verglichen mit den üblichen 10-12 Grad bei früheren Rennen. Das bedeutete, dass ich nur in meinem Vanquish-Neoprenanzug schwimmen konnte, anstatt mich mit der langärmligen Zone3- Unterwäsche und den Neoprenstiefeln und -handschuhen ausstatten zu müssen, die ich in der Vergangenheit getragen hatte. Das macht das Schwimmen nicht nur schneller und angenehmer, sondern sparte auch viel Zeit in T1! Ich gönnte mir den Luxus einer Zone3 -Neopren-Badekappe , um mir ein bisschen Gehirnfrost vom Sprung von der Fähre zu ersparen.

Die zweite Hälfte des Schwimmens ist unglaublich, da es am Ausgang des Schwimmabschnitts weder Flaggen noch aufblasbare Gegenstände gibt. Die gesamte Navigation muss mithilfe des riesigen Lagerfeuers erfolgen, das am Ufer steht und Sie zum Wechsel führt – sehr wikingisch! Wenn Sie sich dem Ende des Schwimmens nähern, können Sie den Holzrauch des Feuers riechen, was ein gutes Zeichen dafür ist, dass Sie im Wasser fast fertig sind. Uns wurden ziemlich harte Bedingungen beim Schwimmen versprochen, aber die Gegenströmung kam nie und am Ende war es sehr ruhig. Ich war erstaunt, als ich mit Lucy Gossage in einer Zeit von 57:33 das Wasser verließ.

Die Wechselzonen beim Norseman unterscheiden sich von anderen Rennen dadurch, dass Ihr Support-Team in die Wechselzone darf, um Sie während des Rennens zu unterstützen. In den vergangenen Jahren waren sie da, um Ihnen nach dem eiskalten Fjord beim Aufwärmen zu helfen, aber dieses Jahr lag der Schwerpunkt darauf, mir für die Radstrecke die obligatorische Warnweste anzuziehen und mich schnell auf die Strecke zu bringen, mit hellen Lichtern zur Sicherheit. Fast direkt nach T1 kommt der erste Anstieg des Tages. Dieser bringt Sie stetig nach oben zum höchsten Teil der Radstrecke. Dieser verläuft jedoch fast vollständig in einem Tunnel, sodass Sie die Landschaft erst sehen, wenn Sie das Plateau oben erreichen und wirklich eine Vorstellung von der Höhe bekommen, die Sie gerade überwunden haben. Auf der restlichen Radstrecke geht es darum, einen sicheren Platz für Ihr Support-Team zu finden, das Ihnen Nahrung und Wasser reichen kann, was an sich schon eine riesige Herausforderung sein kann!

Ich hatte mein Support-Team gebeten, mir keine Hinweise auf meine Position oder den Abstand zu meinen Konkurrenten zu geben, damit ich nicht zu früh zu viel Gas gebe. Auf der gesamten Radstrecke konnte ich jedoch sehen, wie die Begleitfahrzeuge meiner Rivalen mich wie hungrige Geier umkreisten, was einem wirklich auf die Nerven geht. Man muss wirklich versuchen, die Autos, die einen auf dem Rad und in der ersten Hälfte des Laufs überholen, auszublenden und zu ignorieren, aber da man sich in der Nähe der Spitze des Rennens befand, waren diese ziemlich selten. Weiter hinten im Feld stellt das Support-Team offenbar eine große Herausforderung dar, da so viele Athleten gleichzeitig Nahrung benötigen. Manchmal ist die Straße der Anzahl der Autos, die anhalten wollen, einfach nicht gewachsen!

Wir hatten das Verteilen von Nahrung und Getränken ziemlich viel geübt, und beim Rennen war mein Support-Team unglaublich. Sie sprinteten neben mir her, sodass ich nicht zu sehr abbremsen musste, und sorgten dafür, dass ich alles hatte, was ich für die nächste Etappe des Rennens brauchte. Diese Punkte gaben mir auch die Gelegenheit, zuzurufen, was ich in T2 brauchen würde, sodass wir am Ende der Radstrecke völlig bereit waren, mit dem Laufen anzufangen.

Als ich T2 betrat, fühlten sich meine Beine wie Wackelpudding an und ich ließ mir Zeit, meine Laufschuhe und ein neues Paar Socken anzuziehen. Mein Support-Team half mir, indem es mich mit Wasser übergoss, um mich ein wenig abzukühlen.

Die ersten 20 km des Laufs verlaufen relativ flach am Ufer des Tinnsjå-Sees entlang, aber im Hinterkopf hat jeder den letzten Anstieg zum Gipfel des riesigen Gaustatoppen. Nach 25 km biegt man um eine Ecke und sieht den Berg vor sich aufragen, mit einem winzigen Turm ganz oben, der die Ziellinie des Rennens darstellt. 2018 war das unglaublich entmutigend für mich, da ich wusste, dass ich noch all diese Distanz und Höhenmeter bewältigen musste, aber dieses Jahr war ich mental vorbereitet. Mein Support-Team war so voller Energie und Aufregung, dass ich kaum Zeit hatte, darüber nachzudenken, was vor mir lag!

Ab Kilometer 25 geht das Rennen nur noch bergauf, wobei die Oberfläche bis Kilometer 37 gut gepflastert ist. Dann wird es zu einem Gerangel über große Felsbrocken, über die man klettern muss. An dieser Stelle ist die Strecke mit roter Farbe markiert, aber inzwischen war ich so müde und musste mich so sehr auf meinen Tritt konzentrieren, dass ich vom Kurs abkam. Mein Support-Team war die ganze Zeit da, um mich umzuleiten und den Kurs neu zu korrigieren, und um mir Nahrung und Wasser zu bringen. Sie waren den ganzen Tag über großartig und ohne sie wäre das Rennen nicht so reibungslos verlaufen – es ist ein echtes Team-Event.

Beim letzten Anstieg musste ich einige schwierige Stellen überstehen, wo ich kaum etwas anderes tun konnte, als zu gehen und über die Felsbrocken zu klettern. Ich fand Trost in dem Gedanken, dass hier alle im selben Boot sitzen und sie kaum oder gar nicht aufholen würden.

Auf dem Berg konnte ich nicht lächeln, während mich meine tolle Crew und alle um uns herum anfeuerten. Es war einfach ein Kampf, weiterzukommen. Aber ein paar hundert Meter vor dem Ziel drehte ich mich um, sah niemanden hinter mir und konnte meiner Crew endlich sagen, wovon ich so lange geträumt hatte: „Wir haben es geschafft!“ Als ich die Ziellinie überquerte und feststellte, dass ich bei den XTri-Weltmeisterschaften den 2. Platz belegt hatte, war das ein unglaubliches Gefühl. Und noch besser wurde es dadurch, dass ich oben mit Lucy Gossage feiern konnte.

Silbermedaille beim Norseman, mit einem berühmten schwarzen T-Shirt als Preis. Nur etwa 3000 Menschen haben sich jemals der exklusiven Gruppe der Träger eines schwarzen T-Shirts angeschlossen, was weniger ist als die Anzahl der Finisher bei einem typischen Ironman-Event. Es ist großartig, Teil dieses besonderen Clubs zu sein, und ich werde in Zukunft definitiv wiederkommen, um mehr zu bekommen!

Mein nächstes Abenteuer wird im Dezember dieses Jahres beim Patagonman sein, einem weiteren Stopp auf der XTri-Tour!

What. A. Day. 💥 Last Thursday Zone3’s Lake Roadshow Hero event popped up at Swim Six Hills. The day had it all: sunshine, swim tips, wetsuit testing, free swims, refreshing drinks and seriously good vibes. Massive shoutout to Pro Triathlete & @nebulatri.team Coach @rebecca.anderbury who came down to share her swim wisdom. She had a great crowd gathered lakeside, and for good reason, her knowledge and tips were gold. Everyone had the chance to try on a range of Zone3 wetsuits in different styles and sizes, then jump straight in for a free swim at the beautiful open water swim venue. No pressure, just pure open water joy. What really made it special? The mix of people. Triathletes chasing race goals testing upgrades in suits. First-timers just dipping a toe in. Casual open water swimmers wanting a suit to see them through the winter. All in it together. Missed out on trying a wetsuit? Swim Six Hills has the full size curve of ZONE3 Advance wetsuits all season long, or check out where we’ll be at the next stop of the roadshow.

There’s a lot of kit to think about for a triathlon. ✅ The perfect fitting wetsuit ✅ Doubling up on swim caps for warmth and to hold goggles in place ✅ Goggles suitable for the light conditions (& that won’t fog up!) ✅ Anti chafe balm - does what it says on the tin ✅ Sunglasses to protect your eyes on the bike and run ✅ Stretchy laces to save time in transition. These are just a *few* of the things you need to pack for race day. But don’t panic. We’ve got the FULL kit list, so you can tick it off item by item. Comment ‘packing list’ and we’ll DM it to you 👊

Zips go on the back, people! For newbies putting on their first ever triathlon or swim specific wetsuit, we get it, it can be confusing to know which way around the suit should go. Surf wetsuits can have zips on the front or back, swimrun wetsuits are often on the front, and shorties vary too. But FYI all triathlon wetsuits zip up at the back. We’ve been popping up at lots of different events and lakes around the UK the last few months, helping people into wetsuits who haven’t worn one before. And we have seen a lot of people trying to put them on backwards. So if you are a newbie or know a newbie, this is for you 👊 📍 The Quays, Mytchett @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching

We’ve seen so many people at events over the last few weeks wearing their swim goggles on their head waaaay before they’re due to swim. Only put your goggles on as you walk down to the water and are about to get in, this stops the heat from your head causing them to fog up! We also recommend splashing your face and dunking your goggles in the water before you start swimming - to eliminate the temperature difference on each side of the lens. And DON’T TOUCH the inside of the lens with your fingers, you’ll wear off the anti-fog coating. 📍 The Quays, @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching, Mytchett Lake #tipsfornewbies #triathlon #openwaterswim

What a weekend up at Windermere 💦⛰️ The Great North Swim brought big energy, beautiful scenery, and plenty of Zone3 kit in the water. We had an awesome crew of ambassadors taking on the 5km swim, shoutout to @livs_is_livs who did it in skins 👏 and to @chloedooley who showed up and gave it everything. And a massive congrats to Zone3 Pro @j0m3sf1 for taking the win in the SwimRun - absolutely flying out there, despite the weather warnings! Open water season is officially on, and we’re buzzing to be part of it. @great_swim

This weekend, the Zone3 team also volunteered at the incredible 24-Hour Swim Relay at Shepperton @levelwateruk 🏊‍♀️ We're proud to support Level Water, a charity that gives children with disabilities the opportunity to learn to swim, offering 1-to-1 lessons that empower kids with confidence, movement, and freedom in the water. The 24 hour event brought swimmers together for a non-stop relay challenge, raising vital funds to provide these lessons across the UK. To everyone swimming, supporting, and staying awake through the night: thank you for making a difference. This is what sport is all about.

Blenheim Palace Triathlon 2025 brought together athletes, ambition, and the unmistakable energy of race season. 💥 As the Official Swim Sponsor, Zone3 was proud to support the event which included the British and English Sprint Distance Championships and GB Age-Group Team Qualifier. With athletes of every level pushing their limits and our ambassadors leading from the front, it was a weekend to remember. The rain came down, but the spirit? Unshakeable. The determination? Unstoppable. The atmosphere? Electric ⚡ From first-time triathletes to GB hopefuls, every stroke, step, and smile was a reminder of why we do this. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat! And huge kudos to everyone who raced! @blenheimpalacetriathlon

Zone3 Waterproof Phone Pouch Stay safe + snap the moment. This buoyant, watertight pouch keeps your phone sealed from the elements while floating beside you for easy access:GPS, safety calls or that post-swim selfie, sorted. 🏖 2. Swim Safety Buoy Not just for visibility, our buoys offer a float to grab hold of when you need a breather in the water, plus are in-water storage for your dry kit and valuables. They're lightweight, eco-conscious, and swimmer-approved for peace of mind. 🕶 3. Waterhaul x Zone3 Sunglasses Sustainably made from ocean plastic and engineered for active wear, these polarised shades reduce glare off the water and keep you looking sharp on swim breaks. 🫖 4.

Perfect for post-dip teas or mid-hike refreshment. 🧥 5. Thermo-Tech Changing Robe From freezing lakes to rainy beaches, this super-insulated robe wraps you in warmth while you change. Windproof, water-resistant and cosy enough to live in between swims. 💬 Got a UK swim spot to recommend? Drop your favourite below and let the community know where you’re diving in next 👇

Are you ready for the Arla Great North Swim in June? @zone3official takes you through ‘sighting’ in open water, so you swim in the right direction and don’t zig zag your way around. Practicing sighting before the event will make sure you swim in a straight line and ensures you don’t swim further than you need to on the day. If you’re swimming in the pool, why not grab a bottle and use it as a marker at the end of your lane. Try to lift your eyes or head to look at it every few strokes. If you can practice in the open water, a landmark in the distance is a good marker to swim towards too! #openwaterswimming #zone3 #zone3official #greatnorthswim2025
