Pöhl Triathlon: we were there as a service station
The Pöhl Triathlon is one of the days we look forward to all year. Around 600 competitors entered the water at the reservoir: 750 metres swimming, 20 kilometres on the bike, 5.9 kilometres running. We were there again as a service station – and there was plenty to do.
What we do on site
Adjusting gears, checking brakes, tyre pressure, a quick release here, a chain there. Time is short before the start and nerves are on edge – it helps when someone is standing there with tools and sorts out the small thing in two minutes, instead of it becoming a real problem out on the course.
The good part: you get talking to people you normally only see briefly in the shop. And you see how differently everyone approaches a day like this – from fully focused to completely relaxed.
The photos
The pictures were taken by Manuel Rohne | Photo | Bike | Fun, who captured the day for us. Thank you for that – and thank you to everyone who dropped by, cheered and made the day what it was.
See you next time.
