Belgian Sprint Championship Libramont: Bronze Medal

Being the defending champion never makes it easy.

Happy with my race and performance.
A good swim put me into a good position on the bike. Together with Dries Matthys, Thomas Guilmot and teammate Alexis Krug, we rode up to the front of the race. With 8 guys we managed to stay away from the chasepack.
Halfway onto the run, Noah Servais showed his strength and took off. Adrien Deharre was also too strong and I had to settle for third.

I am satisfied to be on the podium, to defend my title this way and to have been in the mix!

Congrats to the new 🇧🇪 champ Noah Servais!

Had a blast racing here, good performance, but had to settle for 2nd place. Jonathan Wayaffe was the stronger runner of the day!


National Champion Again!!!

National Sprint Championship in L’eau d’heure!

Very happy to get away with this win, this means a lot after all the hard work I did during the PTI course.
Didn’t expect this to hapen, but having a 10th national elite championship victory was always a career goal!
It always seems impossible untill it’s done!

T3 series Geraardsbergen

Solo Victory on the Mur of Geraardsbergen!


Belgian Championship for Teams, Tournai.

As usual, 1st of may is the start of the Belgian triathlon season. And the kick off is the Belgian Championship for teams.

We couldn’t prolongate our title of last year with the SMO-Specialized team. But we finished on the third place this year.

Five teams were equal strong during a large part of the race, but Atriac was very strong on the run, and deserved the crown. KTT was runners up, like last year. And we took the bronze, two seconds in front of LTTD (4th) and again two seconds in front of TriGT (5th). So the quality of the field was very dense, and the championship is getting more and more competitive every year… Small details can make a big difference… A good evolution for our sport, and I really like this race format.

Our team did a good job, I don’t think we could go any faster today. With some young guns in the team, who did a great job, we can still grow towards the next years. So we will fight for the title again in the upcoming years…

Thanks Alexis, Jarno, Jorik, Lowie and Nicolas for this great race!

Greetings,
Simon


10 Miles of Antwerp

I have ran the 10 Miles of Antwerp this weekend.

My sponsor/partner Sportoase asked me to participate with their team, in order to win the Team Ranking. It was the first time that I competed in this race, and a first time that I would tackle a longer distance runrace… I am not used to running more then 10k at a high pace, but it would be a good training in order to prepare my next goals (WTS Yokohama, Leeds).

I ended up in 9th spot, just under the 51 minute barrier (50:59). A bit disappointed of my running split, but after two weeks of good training it was not easy to go any faster today.

Sportoase won the Team ranking. Many thanks to them, they had a very good organization for their runners so all went wel.

It was a great event, so maybe till next year!

Greetings,
Simon
