Hamburg Olympic triathlon, Part I: Beers and Boats

Friday Friday evening, after a short flight, the group went out for beers in downtown Hamburg. We made plans to get Philippe to bring us morning breakfast, while Ed was trying to professionalize our “English speaking” with the right usage and timing of “Are you coming?”. Don’t ask us more, it seems we have not passed level 1 nor reached 1st base yet.

Saturday We started with a great breakfast provided by our sponsor, Stadnik Boulangerie. After breakfast we picked up our dossards and rental bikes, then had a look around the city. Some decided to go skinny dipping in the lake, as Ionut had advised us the night before that his sauna was “no textile” and mixed.

Hey, is that all?! Not much to say about the rest of the weekend either, EXCEPT maybe that there was also a small sportive event that we last minute decided to participate in. It was apparently called a triathlon, which involves a short leisure swim, a quick spin in the bike and a light jog to lift our spirits & become Olympians (so nice to have another Greek event in Germany). To be continued....
