I’m searching for a partner for the upcoming Ötillö world series race which takes place in Engadin Switzerland.
Unfortunately my loved teammate gets injured just before the big happening. Now i’m on the search for a replaced because i will be in Switzerland anyway and i want to make some fun out of the completed workouts from the last months.
So feel free to contact me if you want to join me for this dance (possible teams are men, woman and mixed). The entry is already paid.
Some words about myself.
I’m working a lot on my swim performance starting from last October (a lot of 15k weeks, peak 20k).
Last year IM Frankfurt 10:35. Marathon 3:10. Finished 73k ultra in may.
I don’t care on your tempo (if you are faster i will try to keep up as good as i can indeed ). I want to make this experience in the first way.
I’m situated in Leipzig/Lipsia Germany and i’m 31 yeas old.
I think I could handle this race as I’m averaging about 40 km swim and 65 km run per week. And, I can pay my airfare over there; it would be my first real “vacation” in like 8 yrs so I’m overdue. However, I have not raced at all in about 5 yrs. Do the race organizers require me to furnish proof of a half iron under 6 hr or a half mary under 2 hr within past 2 yrs??? I know some American races require this.
now im excited (nice swim average - I’m a little bit scared ;)).

Hey Karsten - OK, I can easily meet those requirements. I will send you a PM later tonight to go over some further details but right now I need to go do my 6 km swim and 12 km run. I’ll start tapering after tomorrow (Sunday). I think a 13 day taper should be about right.
