As a continuation of my little series today, an interview with Andreas Dreitz, the young professional from the Erdinger triathlon team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Andi at the last league competition in Nuremberg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Due to his numerous victories in previously smaller races (including three times the well-known Rothsee Triathlon), he has already earned a certain popularity, especially in southern Germany. Andi has only been practicing triathlons for 4 years, but despite this relatively short time he is a very good and balanced athlete, and armed with a steam hammer on his bike. There seems to be something in the drinking water of Lichtenfels that causes strong cycling. Not only And I<\/a>, also Frank Neumann<\/a> And not to forget Captain Chaos (Steffen Alex) come from the town on Staffelberg and Banz Monastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of this year he switched to the professional field, and I should know, after all, he used my credit card to pay for the Ironman professional license. But I can reassure you, he has paid it back in the meantime and I can fill my fridge up again \ud83d\ude09 Here are a few questions for him, how the first professional season went from his point of view:<\/p>\n

Editorial team (hereinafter abbreviated as krelli):<\/i> Hey Andi, first of all, congratulations on your 4th place at IM 70.3 Zell am See a few weeks ago. Great job!<\/p>\n

Andreas (in the following abbreviated as Andi):<\/i> Thanks, it was a really good race. Was a bit of a surprise after the debacle in Wiesbaden.<\/p>\n

krelli:<\/i> How has it been for you so far in your first professional season?<\/p>\n

And I:<\/i> So it was a colorful mix of joys, but also disappointments. I learned a lot in the process and will change a few things in the next season. For one thing, I was unlucky sometimes. At the start of the IM 70.3 Mallorca I had a flat tire, which I was fortunate to be able to fix very quickly thanks to Swen Sundberg, and I also got blisters while running. At the IM 70.3 Switzerland I was disqualified after 30km because the package fell off the bar I had just eaten while driving. Shortly before IM 70.3 Germany, I had a fall and my head wasn't as free as I usually am during the race. Especially on the descents. On the other hand, I had great races at the Chiemsee, where I was only just beaten by Dirk Bockel and also the said IM 70.3 Zell am See.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

krelli:<\/i> In your opinion, what has changed compared to last year when you started out as an amateur? Except that you're starting to need a credit card!<\/p>\n

And I:<\/span> <\/i>haha, how long will you hold that against me. On the one hand, the focus is now much more on the IM 70.3 races than before. The short distances suffer a little from that, and sometimes I don't open up completely fresh. And on the other hand, the situation as a professional at the races is different. I used to go to races and wanted to annoy the professionals, and now I'm one myself. As a result, the hustle and bustle and the obligations are of course also greater. I made a few more mistakes this season, that from time to time I simply had too much respect for the established sizes or that sometimes I was just too impatient. When I got out of the water 2 minutes from the tip and after 30km on the bike I didn't catch up with the lead, I was frustrated. That will all change in the future and I will be more relaxed in the races again. In the meantime I know what I can do on a good day and don't have to worry about five people overtaking me while I'm running, etc.<\/p>\n

krelli: <\/i>all you really need to do is stick to one rule: Rock`n Roll !! The rest will come by itself \ud83d\ude42 What are you planning to do in the near future and will your focus always remain on the 70.3 distance?<\/p>\n

And I:<\/i> In the next 1-2 years I want to establish myself in the middle distance and regularly land on the podium. I'm also considering a start at the 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas because the bike course suits me very well. In addition, I would like to do the long distance. I know where I can find the right coach for this \ud83d\ude09 However, I will take my time with this step. At 23 years old, I am still very young and have a few years ahead of me in which I can work on my speed.<\/p>\n

krelli:<\/i> All right, good luck and good luck, I keep my fingers crossed!
