Update in English

The end of the summer has been more than great this year. Here´s the update in English again:

27th of July Teemu gained new field: track racing. And why not to start from the top? :D Finnish Championships were held in Turku and Teemu with his team, IK-32, took bronze. With 6 hours training, this is quite good accomplishment! :D

5th of August Teemu won the Finnish Championships (Ironman -distances) in Nokia. This was the first Finnish Championship title in triathlon! The race itself was legendary. Usually swimming has been the "weakest" part, but now he won also the 3,8 km swim! Cycling (180 km) was going also well. But the running was "hand to hand" with Kai Söderdhal. Two guys ran side by side almost the whole marathon, but Teemu took off in the end and won the title. If it is terrible for the athletes to compete nine hours really side by side, it was quite nerve-racking also for the service team of Teemu and I guess all the spectators felt same way. Some people said that the race was like "The Ironwar" of Mark Allen and Dave Scott... :D Some pics form the race can be found from here.

Now, at the end of August, it is time to train. Recovery from Nokia was good and on schedule. Besides on training Teemu has taken care of sponsors and other supporters. The first results of that work can be found from here. Anyway, there´s more to come on that matter, but after all the hard work done, the start has been quite good.
