2027. The Plan and One Open Question

Seven months, one season, two sports. Maybe three.

April: the Schönbuch Trophy opens the season. It's a combo: 25 km of gravel on Saturday, a 15 km trail run on Sunday, both times added up. June: Alb-Extrem, around 205 km and 3,500 m of climbing, the big spring ride and dress rehearsal for pacing and fuelling. July: the Flugfeld Giro with 208 km, and the Nordschwarzwald Radmarathon as the last long test.

The big question sits in late summer. Option one is the Schwarzwald Ultra in September: around 240 km and 4,000 m, finished 20th in 2025, aiming for the top 15. Option two is a first middle-distance triathlon in the Allgäu: 1.9 km swim, 84 km bike, 20 km run. Decision by the end of February.

Optional extras: a half marathon in May and the 3-Länder-Marathon in October, round two. The full list is on the events page.
