Fraser Cartmell 6th at Ironman 70.3 Kraichgau

Some of the best triathletes came together last weekend at the newly established Ironman 70.3 Kraichgau (formerly known as Challenge Kraichgau) in the South West of Germany.

Castelli athlete Fraser Cartmell placed 6th in a strong field that also doubled as the German Championships and was won by reigning Ironman World Champion Sebastian Kienle ahead of Ironman 70.3 St. Pölten dominator Andi Böcherer.

Unusually for so early in the summer the race was held as a non-wetsuit swim due to the exceptionally hot weather in the week previous warming the lake temperature above the 22 °C. This suited Fraser’s swim strength fairly well and he exited the water in the top 5 right behind the leaders.

Early in the bike Kienle and Andreas Böcherer pulled away through the rolling countryside and established a huge lead on the remainder of the field into T2. Fraser was part of a chase group of around 7 athletes that followed.

With a consistent pace over the 3 lap undulating run course he was happy to be able to secure 6th place which given the strong field quality, was a positive move forward in his preparation towards his target summer race at Ironman UK in July.

Due to the non-wetsuit swim he opted for his new custom piece Free Tri Top & Free Tri Short combo, which he describes as extremely comfortable as ever.

    I’ve been looking for some good gear for my own try at the triathlon. The Castelli brand is looking pretty good, even though I’ll never hit a time close to Frazier – My goal is just to complete the race :-)
