Very happy with my first MetaMan race here in beautiful Bintan Indonesia. What a great course, what a awesome event, what a huge support out there all day. It was a great last test in the heat for be before Kona.
I had the best swim ever, got out of water with the first group of PRO male. Absolutely loved the bike course, there was only one flat section of maybe 10km, the rest was up and down like a roller coaster. As usual in Asia we got a huge support of school kind all along the 90km bike loop. With a 23min lead of the bike I was allowed to show a controlled and smart well paced marathon. Motto: “get the km in your legs and the money in your pocket ;-) .
A huge thank you is going to MetaSport for a impeccable organised and very unique placed Ironman Distance race. We need more Tri races around the globe like that!!
Thank you to all my sponsors for supporting me!
