Race is over, which I did not finish. I had to give up in the run after just 3km. My achilles tendon was hurting so much. So, I have to add a 2nd DNF to my triathlon career. Weather was pretty cool. Rain and temps around 11�C (52�F). Swim was easy and not too bad, bike was very hard as it was more hilly as I expected. We had to cycle 2 rounds and one part of the bike part is the Kalvarienberg which has an uphil slope of up to 18%, there's another part with a climbing length of 4.1km with 300m (appr 900ft). I don't know any exact times as I dnf-ed. No service available here for dnf-athletes.
I don't plan on doing another triathlon this year. I only want to get my achilles tendon be well again. So, no more running at all until it's healed. I already signed up months ago for a triathlon in Austria which would be on the 2nd of September. But I have no intentions to take part in it as I think that the tendon won't be ok in 6 weeks from now.
Training will be easy as well, as my triathlon season is over for this year with the injured tendon.
Yesterday I went to the psychiatrist. I have to double my medication as it isn't working good enough on me lately. I HATE my state of mind.
Last night I dreamed of the love of my life. Matthias. I looked him up on the internet. He's become a pretty successful landscape designer in the north-east of Germany. I was together with him in my mid 20th. I'm very highly tempted to contact him. Haven't done it yet.
There's a small cross-duathlon (run-bike-run in the fields and meadows) on the 13th of October in a little town near where he lives. Maybe, if my tendon is ok until then, I will take part in this race and maybe we could meet for a coffee or so.
I'm not sure, if this would be a too good decision.
