It's no secret I love climbing. I love it so much you will probably never see me at the start of a race with no climbing or mountains involved. During winter last year I was looking for something to challenge me as the pure climbing endurance challenge. Triple Everesting just seems so out of this world, I wanted to give it a shot. And if I do it, I will do it proper. Going for the record! I built a bike specifically for this ride, made a list of food and a whole plan with the Athletes Foodcoach, trained on my home mountain Gaisberg nearly every day to find out what was the optimal pace. And it nearly worked out! The heat in the second afternoon broke me and I missed on correcting my nutrition strategy for electrolytes. It took nearly half a day to replenish them. I was struggling with sleepiness during the night therefore. The rain and fog the second day didn't exactly speed up things but I'm glad I pushed through in a very good time. Watch this space though: Someone will push it under 30h I'm sure of that! Hats off also to Jakob Wagenhofer from Graz who claimed the previous record in June just before me and pushed me a bit further. ;)
