Doch kein Übermensch, ich bin beruhigt.

Wenn seine Analyse jedoch zutrifft, dass er so "langsam" war weil er Kona noch in den Beinen hatte (und nicht weil er zu schnell geschwommen ist!!!), dann kann man nächstes Jahr noch mal eine deutliche Verbesserung bei ihm erwarten!

"Crossing the finish line was a massive relief. It has been a great season, but a very long season. The one big thing I learned in this race is that I think you have one massive effort per year. I went deep in Kona. So deep I have very little recollection of the second half of the marathon. It will take months to shed that fatigue. I felt good in practice, over shorter durations, with lots of time in between sessions, but the moment I tried to execute race pace continuously, I could tell the Kona race was still there"
