Update in English

Every now and then we are going to publish an update also in English as it turned out that there are readers that just cannot break the language barrier. :) These posts will be more like a summary about recent events and races.

After IM Lanzarote (and qualifying as PRO to IM Hawaii World Championships) thing or two has happend. Here´s some of it:

At the end of June Teemu took part in Finnish Championships of cycling. As a result, his team IK-32 took bronze.

7th July 2007 we had our wedding day. Happy day and lots of celebrating with friends and family. Honeymoon ended fast as we directed our attention to work and all the work that have to be done before Hawaii.

14th of July 2007 the oldest triathlon competition took place in Joroinen: Finntriathlon - the Finnish Championships - in half distance. Last year Teemu took silver, but this time all the wedding arrangements and other things from last couple of weeks were a bit too much. Teemu finished the race 9th position. Day before the Finntriathlon Arja and our guests from Poland, Juan (ES) and Edyta (POL), took part in "fast triathlon" (200m swimming, 13 km cycling and 5 km running) in Joroinen. Team FinEsPo was led by Teemu and all the competitors finished their first triathlon! :D

22nd of July again there will be Finnish Championships, this time it´s the home race in Kuopio. Distances (750 swimming, 20 km cycling and 5 km running) are a bit too short, but it is atleast a good exercise. During the same weekend Triathlon Team AquaTerra is organizing the U23 and Youth European Championships!

27th of July new field will be gained: track racing (cycling) Finnish Championships will take place in Turku. On coming Tuesday we will head up to Helsinki to train track racing in Helsinki Velodrome. Anyway, for sure this race will be interesting for both Teemu and spectators! :D

5th of August Finnish Championships with Ironman distances will take place in Nokia. And most probably this is the last race before Hawaii Ironman.
