Just a quick post to brag about the Champ in the house…It was a good thing I spared Maiki from the birthday special yesterday. By the way, thanks to all you lovely folks who dedicated your weekend smashfests to me. I hope to repay you by doing you proud next weekend in Japan!
Anyways, I received this picture from the Bonn Triathlon via email last night–as if I wasn’t already bummed not to be there to support:
GCM was the defending champ and would take on the likes of Faris Al-Sultan and a few other strong Germans today at their sort-of “Escape From Alcatraz,” or the Bonn Triathlon. This race involves jumping off a boat and swimming downstream in the Rhine for 4km (It took significantly less time than today’s Alcatraz swim, which was just over half this distance!) , then cycling 60km, and running 15km.
The Cycling Machine lived up to his reputation on the bike, came off the bike with a two + minute lead, and won the race by three minutes. (Faris was second.) At least I got to see photos! GCM did us proud today.

He looks fast even standing there. I’m also pleased that he is not wearing the Al-Sultan racing brief.
Hi Hillary,
i took part in Bonn last weekend and it is now one of my favourite tris.
You should start there if you are around and have the time to spare. You’d love the bike course i suppose
I hope to see you live and in action in Roth this year (my first start there) Will you be there?
some of us would like to see him in a faris Al-Sultan racing brief.
hills, you lucky one!
