Forchheim "everything went wonderfully", maria leidenberger (from the organization team of the SSV) was pleased around noon. She had been on her feet since 6 a.M. And with it at the seventh forchheim city triathlon 140 helpers. The organizer was the swimming club. Supported by the running community, the fire departments of forchheim, the THW, the water rescue service and the police.
Stefan leidenberger (organization team) was also relaxed around 1 p.M.: "if everyone comes back from the bike course in good health, i’ll be happy." The time schedule for the road closures was also perfectly adhered to.
"511 participants, this is a new record", leidenberger was pleased. "We don’t want any more." Then it got too crowded in the transition area and in the finish area at the konigsbad.
Despite the speed that the state league cyclists brought to the race, leidenberger recalled that the city triathlon was first and foremost an "everyman’s race" be. That is why no prize money was paid. Above all, it was about challenging the next generation of artists.
Whether werner heim (head of the sanitation service), burkhardt baumgartner (head of the 30 fire brigade and THW helpers) or roland brutting (head of the traffic office) – they were all satisfied with the routine running of the city triathlon. "The SSV is a friendly organizer that you never have to chase", praised brutting. Two critical remarks to this sporty sunday had the head of the traffic authority nevertheless. On the one hand: the simultaneity of triathlon and artisan market should no longer exist in the future. Even without traffic conflicts, it is getting too crowded in the city center. And: "the event deserved much more spectators at the track."
