For many people, the word triathlon is automatically associated with the famous Ironman contest on Hawaii. Its little brother-less well known, but just as challenging is the Ostseeman on the Baltic coast, where all the same distances have to be accomplished. Ultra-athletic types come together to compete in three disciplines: running (42 km), cycling (180 km) and swimming (3.9 km). Having already made their mark at several other sports competitions in the past, often walking away with a trophy, the XING team also participated in the Ostseeman triathlon. They took to the start line in the mixed relay.
Ably supported by Katharina Hubert- a XING member who joined in at the last minute to take on the swimming stage – Timo Möbius (running) and Timo Hoppe (cycling) came an excellent fifth place in the company ranking.
Congrats guys, we’re all very proud of you!
