Hi everybody,
Once a month I am writing a training blog for the Challenge Penticton. This January blog is about my opinion on gym workouts during the winter and if it makes sense to keep it up for the entire year or not... If you are interested to find out what my take is click here!
Have fun reading!

New Partner for 2014
Hi everybody,
it's been a pleasure to tell you that I have a new race wheel partner!
energy LAB is a Calgary based company who helped me already in 2013 with their support!
For me as a tall and fairly heavy guy it is important to have a wheel that is stiff enough to hold the power I can produce once I push really into the pedal. The stiffness of the energy LAB wheels is fantastic and this with a competitive weight is what I call clever engineering.
My favorite set is clearly the VC90 mm front and rear. I rode this setup already in Penticton, Bend and Palm Springs in 2013. I set a personal downhill record with the VC90 wheel-set in Bend last year when I rode 115km/h and I have to say that the wheels really impressed me with how smooth they where running at this speed!
I had my first contact with this wheels at the expo during the Challenge Penticton week. I chatted with the guys from energy LAB and they gave me a wheels-set to try prior to the race. I loved them instantly and luckily the energy LAB guys agreed to borrow me a set for the race. From their on I did all my 2013 races on energy LAB wheels and I am very happy that this will continue in 2014 and hopefully beyond that!
Thank you to the energy LAB team for your support!

Happy New Year!
Hello everybody!
A happy new year to all of you!
After some easy weeks and lots of food and family time I am back! The goals for 2014 are set, the race schedule is getting there and I am excited to share some great news with you in the next weeks.
I would also like to use the chance to thank everybody who supported me in 2013 and were in my corner!
Training is taking over again and I am very excited that my girl is back in the triathlon world. Jenn will race the Challenge Roth this year and I am happy to help and support her on the way as good as she supported me the last two years!
Please come and visit my blog again soon, to find out what's going on in my world!
Thanks!
Elmar
