Per Bittner

German team superstar Per hot off his win at Challenge Barcelona had a tough day but perserved and finished 11th at the European Triathlon Long Distance Championships this weekend in Kraichgau. He had a tough swim and struggled to find his legs on the bike but was glad to have a solid run to finish the day.  While he was hoping to do better than 11th, Per was glad to push through the race and finish strong.  

In his blog, Per said ," Last weekend Challenge Kraichgau was not my best race. At least I got 11^th in a very good field. The swim was fast but I got out with the first guys.I changed my swim training a bit and  cheers at this point for the fast 2xu X:2 wetsuit, both workes out. It was a big leader group after the swim till 30k.  But then Seb Kienle came from behind he smashed the group and I can’t hold the pace. I was very happy to get off the bike and pushed hard to try to get a top ten against the stacked field but feel short by one place. I am planning to get in more big bike miles and be on the podium next time.

Congrats Per and keep up the hard work!
