Training in Karlsruhe (for the english speaking people)

[nathan]

Hello,

I am searching for someone to train with in Karlsruhe.
Especially in swimming and biking, a company could be helpful.

I am also looking for people who want to share their triathlon or even Iron Man experience with me

I am a runner (marathon and half marathon) and I would like to do my first triathlon this year

Thanks to all of you

Hi Nathan,

there are several triathlon clubs in Karlsruhe. This is the link to my club. Hopefully you can understand it, although it is in german.
Unfortunately I don't live in Karlsruhe myself, so I cannot attend the club trainings (or your training).

There is a contact formular on our website where you can ask for more information (of course english is no problem).

Best regards, Matthias

Hello Matthias,

Thanks a lot for the infos, I will for sure look at this website.

What I am searching for is more a "training buddy", but why not a cliub

Hey Nathan,

I live in Karlsruhe but currently I'm not training enough to serve as a training buddy. I'm having a bunch of super lazy months, I'm kind of old, and near the end of the field in any kind of competition anyway.

Right now, I'm only swimming, dabbling mostly because I like the water, but as June and the Challenge Kraichgau get closer I'll have to increase my cycling efforts. I'll get through the run somehow.

Where do you usually swim? I swim at the Vierordtbad most of the time, late in the evening when the pool is deserted.
From time to time I'll be at the Europabad, also relatively late when I have a lane to myself.
When the cold water gets bearable in a wetsuit, I prefer lakes. There are a few pretty ones around Karlsruhe.

Cheers,
Renato

Hello schnodo

never heard about the Challenge Kraichgau before, but really cool !

For the swimming, this is exactly the pb : I almost never go in a swimming pool. I live near Europabad but it is so crowded that I don't go there anymore. And I was too lazy to go to another one

And most of all : I am a really bad swimmer : That's why I've never done a triathlon so far !

I guess I've become an okay swimmer and since I've been to every swim clinic from San Diego to Tel Aviv that I could get my hands on, I can probably give you a few pointers on how to survive or even enjoy the swim portion of a triathlon.

Just give me a holla and we'll meet up at the Europabad one Wednesday (my preferred day for that pool) evening for a technique session.

Great thanks a lot

I will send you a message as soon as I am back in KA (I am on a business trip)

Thanks again
