Hessenliga team impresses at Kinzigman
On May 17th, five SGA triathletes started at the Kinzigman Langenselbold in the 5th Hessenliga.
Due to the low water temperature, the originally planned triathlon was changed at short notice to a duathlon. Instead of swimming, the program consisted of a two-kilometer run, a 20-kilometer bike ride, and a final five-kilometer run.
The team finished fifth with a total time of 1:16:36 hours. Anselm Schüle, Sascha Prehn, and Stephan Prosser each won their respective age groups.
Completed marathon in Salzburg
SGA was also represented internationally. Ulrike and Thilo Bickert competed at the running festival in Salzburg.
Ulrike Bickert completed the marathon in 4:38:34 hours. Thilo Bickert achieved a time of 1:19:50 hours over ten kilometers.
