In the men’s race, Uplace-athlete Bert Jammaer (4:01:24) finished tenth. Bevan Docherty (New Zealand; 3:50:13) won the race. Lance Armstrong (US; 3:50:55) came in a strong second; Richie Cunningham (Australia; 3:52:59) was third.

Panama City was the first race of the season for Bert and Sofie. The big question before the race was whether they had come out of the winter break ready to race. The start of the race seemed to bring a promising answer to that question. Bert came out of the water trailing leader Matty Reed by just 30 seconds. Tine and Sofie wrapped up the swim in ninth and tenth position, a result that was especially gratifying for Tine. During the bike leg, Tine gradually moved up to the fourth position, while Bert and Sofie were dealing with a lost water bottle and uncooperative legs respectively. The half marathon didn’t bring any major changes for the Uplace athletes. Tine lost one spot, Bert remained in tenth position and Sofie moved up from the fourteenth tot the thirteenth position.

“Seriously, it was so hot!” For Tine Deckers, the transition from -10 degrees Celsius in Belgium to the blistering heat of Panama City was not an easy one: “Especially in the beginning of the half marathon, the heat and the humidity really got to me. But in the end, it didn’t affect the result all that much. I only fell back one spot during the run. I am equally pleased about the rest of the race. I swam really well. I am really happy that my strong performances in training also came out during the race. During the bike leg, I managed to move up the field well. I felt strong on the bike, especially after my poor cycling performance in South Africa. I really feel all the pieces are starting to fall into place for the March Ironman Melbourne.”

Bert Jammaer’s Ironman 70.3 Panama City turned out to be a typical first race of the season: “I am fairly pleased, but I feel I could have done better. My swim was excellent. I came out of the water with the leading group. The bike leg went reasonably well until I hit a bump on a bridge going 60 kilometers an hour and my water bottle went flying. I think I lost a few minutes because I didn’t drink enough – there were very few aid station along the way. I felt myself fading towards the end of the bike leg. It’s a pity, but even with the right hydration, I wasn’t at 100% yet. That’s is why I like this kind of first race that makes you work hard. Now I know exactly what I need to work on in the coming weeks.”

For Sofie Goos, the first race of the reason usually is one she’d rather forget as soon as possible. Panama City offered no exception to that rule: “I really wanted to start the year with a good race. I felt okay in the water, but my legs felt super heavy on the bike. I can also tell I am still trying to take it easy on my back. In the half marathon, I ran to maintain my position. Even on a great day, the rest of the field was too far ahead to catch up. Either way, I don’t feel my conditioning is race-ready yet. I am going to take a look at my calendar with my coach. Maybe my next race, the Ironman Melbourne, is a little too early in the season for me.”

7 February 2012 – Tine Deckers, Sofie Goos, Bart Aernouts, Bert Jammaer, Bruno Clerbout and Axel Zeebroek have set ambitious targets for 2012. The athletes of the Belgian Uplace Pro Triathlon Team shared their 2012 goals during the annual team presentation. This year, they are going for Ironman victories. Team manager Ben De Wolf, “We wrapped up 2011 with seven Ironman podium finishes and four victories in the half Ironman. In 2012, we are going for Ironman wins.” Bart Aernouts announced that in March he will compete in his first full Ironman as part of his transition from Olympic Distance to Ironman racing.

Team manager Ben De Wolf looked back on the ups and downs of 2011: “Last spring left us dealing with Bert Jammaer’s and Rutger Beke’s health issues. In May, Rutger announced his retirement from the sport. Of course we would have loved to see him stay. In July, Sofie Goos and Bart Aernouts won the half Ironman of Antwerp, with Axel finishing a strong second. That turned out to be the turning point. Bart won two more half Ironman races in late summer and fall and there were Ironman podium finishes for Tine, Bert, Bruno and Sofie. But the most important race of the season was naturally the Ironman Hawaii. The good news was that we had four athletes competing; the actual race results were a little less stellar. Bert and Sofie were forced to retire. Axel finished 28th. Tine, on the other hand, ran a beautiful race. She finished twelfth; no Belgian woman has ever done better in Kona.”

In terms of visibility, 2011 was a great success. “It wasn’t long before ‘the green team’ was an established, recognizable presence in international Ironman. Everyone noticed our bright green outfits and bikes. The feedback was huge,” said De Wolf.

2012

De Wolf has set ambitious goals for his team in 2012: “Eleven Ironman podium finishes, including four wins, really isn’t bad. But I also feel like we missed too many races in 2011. This year, each of our athletes should be able to win an Ironman race. There is so much potential in this team that didn’t show itself in last year’s results. And if we can do better, we simply should do better. Especially in Hawaii. I want the whole team represented this year. Sofie and Tine should be able to finish in the top ten in Kona, which would be a Belgian first.

Bart Aernouts

Bart Aernouts announced that his main focus is now the long distance. This year, he will compete in his first full Ironman. “I have gradually moved on to long distance triathlon. Of course I will still compete in Olympic Distance races, especially in Belgium. But my main goal is a spot in the top three in Ironman 70.3 races, especially in the World Championships Ironman 70.3 in Las Vegas. In March, I am racing the Ironman Melbourne. It’s my first taste of a full Ironman; I am eager to find out whether I will like it,” said Aernouts.

In early 2011, Bart left for Australia to start training with top coach Darren Smith: “I had a really hard time adjusting. My swimming got worse, until all the pieces started to fit together and my swimming finally improved. That evolution generated good results in the second half of the season. I won three Ironman 70.3 races and the three big Olympic Distance triathlons in Belgium.” Bart returned to Canberra at the end of last year and in early 2012. “It took a while for my work with Darren to pay off. It just wouldn’t be smart to prematurely cut off that growth curve.”

Tine Deckers

Tine Deckers can look back on a good 2011 with a few strong showings in tough races. She started the year with a second place in the Ironman 70.3 South Africa, finished second in the Ironman Lake Placid and wrapped up the year with an excellent Ironman Hawaii. No female Belgian triathlete has ever done better than Tine’s twelfth place: “Hawaii was a really good race for me. I was finally able to run a good marathon in Kona. I am ready to do even better in 2012.”

For Tine, the 2012 season started on 22 January with a podium spot in the Ironman 70.3 South Africa. Her goals for 2012 are substantial: “I want another Ironman win in 2012. My target race is the Ironman Nice, which I won in 2009 and 2010. The other big one is Kona, of course. A spot in the top ten is the goal.”

Sofie Goos

Sofie Goos swam, biked and ran herself onto an Ironman podium three times in 2011. She won the half Ironman of Antwerp for the third year in a row. She also finished third in the Ironman races of Texas and Florida. In both American races, Sofie had to fight back from a losing position in the marathon. Her fighting spirit couldn’t save her in Hawaii, where back problems forced her to retire from the race for the second year. During the winter, a lot of hard work went into Sofie’s back. “After Hawaii, I underwent a bunch of tests to determine the cause of this back ache. I am now working on a program developed by my physical therapist and the team’s strength, stabilization and injury prevention support staff to strengthen the weak spots in my back,” said Sofie.

In 2012, Sofie is looking to make her mark in the Ironman Frankfurt and in Hawaii: “This year, I am trading in my beloved Ironman 70.3 Antwerp for the tougher competitive field of the Ironman Frankfurt. I really want to do well there. And then there is Hawaii. If my body holds up, a top ten finish should be possible.”

Bert Jammaer

Bert Jammaer saw his 2011 marked by a bout of mononucleosis. After mandatory rest in March and April, the remainder of his season was one big question mark. But by August, Bert was back on top. He ran to a third place finish in the Ironman Canada, which earned him a last-minute ticket to Kona. However, Hawaii turned out to be one Ironman too many. Bert had to retire from the race during the bike leg.

For Bert, 2012 is all about the big races on his two favorite volcanic islands: Lanzarote and Hawaii. “My heart is in Lanzarote. I won the Ironman Lanzarote twice and finished second in 2010. Last year, I missed the race, so going back is a big deal. But of course Kona is The One. I would happily trade another Ironman win for a top ten spot in Kona.” Either way, Bert is ready: “I am coming off a good winter. I am ready for the first race of the year. I feel good.”

 Axel Zeebroek

With a solid second place finish in the Ironman 70.3 Antwerp, Axel Zeebroek recorded his best result of 2011 in his home country. At the same time, 2011 was also about getting the necessary tri conditions lined up and squared away. “My bike positioning was corrected, which meant I felt better on the bike. I have always had quite a bit of trouble with nutrition during races, but we found the right combination by the time Ironman Cozumel came around. Unfortunately, I was still not able to run a marathon in under three hours,” said Axel.

Axel’s goal for 2012 is a podium spot in a half or full Ironman. He zeroed in on the Ironman 70.3 San Juan and Texas and the Ironman races in Utah en Nice. “In 2012, I want to be one of the guys making the race and competing for the top three.”

Bruno Clerbout

2011 brought Bruno Clerbout’s first Ironman podium finish. But there were also a few missed races, causing Bruno to conjure up boxing imagery to summarize his season, “2011 left me in the ropes a few times. The fact that I always got back up and came out stronger in the end was probably my biggest victory. Wales was good, but I know I can do better. That motivates me, as does my love for the sport.”

Thus, Bruno begins the year with great determination: “2011 served up a reminder that in Ironman ‘Anything is possible.’ That is my motto for 2012. I am really focused and have ambitious goals for both 2012 and 2013. But this year, I want my results to do the talking for me.”

Season start

February 12 unofficially kicks off the Uplace Pro Triathlon Team’s 2012 season. That day, Sofie, Tine and Bert are competing in the Ironman 70.3 Panama City. Axel starts his season with the half Ironman San Juan. 25 March is the next big date for the team. Bart Aernouts makes his Ironman debut in Melbourne, a race in which he will meet his teammates Bert, Sofie and Tine. Bruno Clerbout jumpstarts his 2012 on 22 April with the Ironman South Africa.

-  Start with a 20-minute warm-up going 95 RPM

- Next, complete four 10-second prints at 95 RPM at maximum resistance. Between every sprint, you bike four minutes at the fat burning threshold (for best results, have your fat burning threshold determined at  specialized facilities such as Topsport ABC).

- Do two sets of four 10 second-sprints

- Between sets, add 15 minutes to loosen your muscles

- After the last last, finish up with a 20-minute cool-down

Fellow Belgian Marino Vanhoenacker won the men’s race, clocking in at 04:06:25. Ronnie Schildknecht (Switzerland; 04:12:56) finished second; Domenico Passuello (Italy; 04:18:37) completed the podium.

The Ironman 70.3 South Africa was the first race of the 2012 season for Tine and thus the first real test of her conditioning after the winter break. She came out swimming well. But Jodie Swallow had taken a blistering start, taking a five-minute lead. In the bike leg, her favored and strongest discipline, Tine moved from the sixth to the third position. Running a solid half marathon, Tine was able to hold on to that podium place until the end of the race.

“When you make the podium in the first race of the season, you have to be pleased. On the other hand, a stronger bike leg would have made for a better result,” Tine said after the race. “Despite Swallow’s lead out of the water, I did swim really well. Swallow is just a superb swimmer who really took it to the rest of the field today. It’s my cycling I am not pleased with. I felt like I had no power in my legs. I know I recorded the second-best time, which obviously is good. But I also know I can do a lot better. On the other hand, the half marathon went really well. I started the run at a controlled pace and after the first round I felt I had settled into a nice rhythm. So I ended on a positive note and recorded a good result. The Ironman 70.3 South Africa is also a fun race, so I am happy I started my season here.”

Michael Lovato (US; 8:23:52) took the Ironman Cozumel title, beating out Patrick Evoe (US; 08:30:36) and Alejandro Santamaria (Spain; 08:32:50).

Simone Benz (Switzerland; 09:14:08) topped the women’s podium, flanked by Sonja Tajsich (Germany; 09:23:15) and fellow Belgian Sophie De Groote (09:26:07).

Axel Zeebroek started the race with a solid swim in the warm waters of Cozumel that had the athletes battle strong currents. He was on the bike in fifth positions and quickly positioned himself in third place. Bruno Clerbout struggled in the swim. He lost six minutes, leaving him with a 22nd position and quite some time to make up. After the 180-kilometer cycling leg, he was in 20th position. The comeback would have to happen in the marathon. Axel, on the other hand, had started suffering from back pain and lost time in the last leg of the bike course. He started running in seventh position.

The marathon turned out a doozy with torrential rain forcing a high number of athletes out of contention or out of the race altogether. Axel was one of the victims. Bruno on the other hand was racing through the field, moving up 12 places for a top-ten finish. Axel walked and ran through the pain, finishing tenth.

Cozumel turned out a solid race for Bruno: “I might not be the strongest athlete, but I know how to race smart, especially on courses that don’t play into my strengths. Today, it was really a matter of surviving a messy battle. My swim was, not unlike the rest of this season, a lonesome effort. Cycling went much better, but I just can’t compete with the best, especially on this flat course. The goal was to force the comeback in the marathon to achieve the goal of a top-five finish. If you have to run through flooded streets, that is easier said than done. So in the end, I am pleased with my result. Also because a few things that had been going well in training, also showed during the race. This leaves me looking and planning ahead enthusiastically. No end of season feeling for me!”

“I am spent,” Axel said after the race. “I really thought I would not be able to finish the race. In the last bike loop I started having back pain, which prevented me from leaning over my handlebars. I lost time and my third place. The marathon initially went well, but in the second round it was lights out. I walked, stopped for a while. I was really done. When Bruno passed me, he spurred me on to fight through it. That helped. In the last round I found new energy, allowing me to run again. Either way, this was not a good race. I am happy I managed to finish it and was able to collect some Kona points, but the result should have been much better. Right now, I am really looking forward to resting up.”

5 November 2011 – Sofie Goos of the Uplace Pro Triathlon Team has finished third in today’s Ironman Florida. It was a hard-fought podium place for Sofie. She was comfortably in the lead halfway into the bike leg when the back pain that had forced her to retire from the Ironman Hawaii a few weeks ago, reappeared. She quickly lost time and her position in the race. Thanks to a final effort well into the marathon, Sofie managed to fight her way back into the top three with a time of 09:22:21.

Jessica Jacobs (US) won the race for the second consecutive year with a course record of 8:55:10. Mackenzie Madison (US; 09:10:21) came in second.

In the men’s race, the podium places went to Ronnie Schildknecht (Switzerland; 07:59:42), Maxim Kriat (Ukraine; 08:10:43) and Justin Daerr (US; 08:18:02).

After a back injury had forced her to retire from the Ironman Hawaii in October, Sofie was intent on proving herself in the Ironman Florida, a race she had won in 2009.

She got to an excellent start, recording the third fastest swim time and taking over the lead from Bree Wee only ten minutes into the bike leg. But then the back pain happened. Sofie rapidly lost time and in the second half of the bike segment, she got passed by Wee and Jacobs. The marathon didn’t bring much relief. Sofie had to resort to walking a few times and encountered problems with her nutrition. Determined to finish the race no matter what, Sofie all of a sudden found her running rhythm and managed to run herself onto the podium.

For Sofie, the returning back pain naturally was a disappointment, “I was cycling really well until my back acted up again. I tried to maintain a good position on my bike, but I felt that I was losing strength rapidly. When Wee and Jacobs passed me, I couldn’t even keep up. Contrary to Hawaii, I was able to start running, but my pace was oh-so slow. And then I started throwing up too. Halfway the marathon, I was in fifth position, with the sixth athlete hot on my heels. But the Ironman Texas taught me that in Ironman, everything is possible. And I did start to get better. I managed to run with smaller steps then I settled into a good rhythm. In the second round I ran really well, which does leave me feeling okay about my running. Let’s just say I started well and I finished well. I am going to give up on the Ironman Cozumel in a few weeks. I have to focus on resting my back and getting it examined so I can start the new season pain-free.”

Sofie’s third place finish brings the Ulplace Pro Triathlon Team 2011 Ironman podium* count to 11. (*half and full Ironman distance races)

Craig Alexander of Australia won the race for the third time, smashing Luc Van Lierde’s course record with a very fast 8:03:56. Fellow Australian Pete Jacobs (8:09:11) came in second. Andreas Raelert (Germany; 08:11:07) finished third.

Chrissie Wellington (UK) was the fastest woman, bringing her number of Kona wins to four. Her time of 08:55:08 was good enough to fend off a late charge by defending champion Mirinda Carfrae (Australia; 08:57:57). Leanda Cave (UK; 09:03:29) completed the women’s podium.

Tine Deckers was absolutely pleased to end a demanding race with the result she had hoped for, “I am super pleased! I was finally able to complete a good marathon here in Kona. Considering I finished right after Morrison, who won this year’s Ironman Texas convincingly, I have really earned that 12th place finish. Even so, I didn’t start the race very well. I never did swim as poorly here as I did today. The bike ride went pretty smoothly, although I did struggle a bit in the last 60 kilometers. I know a 3:19:09 marathon doesn’t sound impressive, but for Kona it is a solid result. I made sure I got my nutrition right and paid extra attention to cooling myself; that made a real difference compared to the last two years. I am really happy I was able to end my season on a positive note. This result earns me quite a few points for next year’s Ironman Hawaii, which frees me from doing another race this fall. I can just enjoy this performance and my well-earned rest.”

Axel Zeebroek discovered just why Hawaii is called the toughest Ironman race: “What a day… I was swimming really well until the turning point. I got kicked by another competitor and lost my goggles, forcing me to swim 1500 meters without eye protection. I ended up recording a solid time, but I think it cost me quite some energy. The bike leg was a disaster. I had no power, no energy. It got so bad I went into T2 wondering whether I should pull out of the race. I am happy I pulled through though. The first 25 kilometers, I ran really well. Unfortunately, the last 15K were a struggle. I ended up running alone and lost my focus and drive. A 3:07 marathon is not really a great result. Next up? Mostly rest and then we will figure out what will be my next race.”

Just like last year, back problems forced Sofie Goos out of the race. Looking back, her disappointment is still obvious: “This really sucks. My swim was good. Granted, we clocked a slow time, but that was due to the current. I left T1 in 15th position. But in the first 20 kilometers on the bike, my back started acting up. I did some exercises my physio had recommended and tried to save my strength for the marathon. After 70 kilometers, I already had significantly less power in my legs. I managed to hang on until the 120K mark, but after that I couldn’t even lean forward on my steering wheel anymore. I really don’t know what is causing these problems. My back never bothers me anywhere, except in Kona. I am going to let the disappointment settle for a bit and then get to the bottom of why this back issue came back in Kona. Maybe I will start thinking of Hawaii again in a few months. But not right now…

Kona proved one race too many for Bert Jammaer. He had to retire from the race during the bike leg, “After 130 kilometers on the bike I was spent, all done. It has been a tough year. After my bout with mono, I had to work on qualifying for Kona at a time when most competitors already had their ticket. Doing three Ironman races in three months apparently is a bit much. I was still confident before the race, but the Ironman Hawaii doesn’t lie. Here, you have to be 200% fit just to make the finish. I am really ready for a break. I am looking forward to rest first and then a good winter, so that I can have an early start in 2012 with a better preparation for Kona.”

The Ironman 70.3 Pocono Mountains was an extraordinary race, marked by the bad weather of the past weeks. The swim portion was cancelled a day before the race because of dangerous currents. During the race the athletes had to deal with the rain-battered, slick roads in and around Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. None of the above seemed to bother Bart much. He recorded the fastest time in the bike leg (a time trial because of the canceled swim) and the half marathon.

Despite his duathlon past, Bart would have preferred to complete all three triathlon disciplines. Still, he was pleased to look back on another win, “When I checked out the swim start on Friday, it was pretty obvious the current would not allow for any swimming on Sunday. Such a shame, because I had trained so hard the past few weeks. I was really looking forward to ending my season with a strong swim. But it is what it is. There really is no use getting worked up about things like that. Because you’re doing a time trial, you have to race within yourself more as it is really hard to gauge your position. But when I started passing people, I knew I was cycling hard. It was a bit of a strange race though with a really dangerous bike course. My rear wheel even slipped away on straight parts. When I started the half marathon, they had not finished roping off the course. Quite unusual, running between cars. Good thing there was a police escort. But in the end, taking the win makes you forget quickly. Wrapping up the season with a victory feels really good.”

Bart’s Pocono Mountains title brings the number of Uplace Pro Triathlon Team Ironman victories to four* for 2011. The team Ironman podium count now totals ten*. (*half and full Ironman races)

Magali Tisseyre (Canada; 3:57:11) won the women’s race. Jessie Donavan (US; 4:02:46) and Jennifer Tetrick (US; 4:04:11) came in second and third respectively.

Bart Aernouts is known for his fast bike and running legs. He backed up that reputation with a strong performance in Syracuse today. Bart came out of the water in ninth position, trailing fastest swimmer Limkemann by about four minutes. After recording the fastest cycling time, Bart started the half marathon only 2:30 behind new leader Ambrose. It wouldn’t take him long to catch up. With a super fast 1:13:18, Bart clocked the best running time for a comfortable win.

This summer, Bart won the Ironman 70.3 Antwerp. Syracuse was his first international half Ironman of 2011. Bart happily looked back on his first race and first win abroad, “Obviously, my American trip is a success already. Most of all, I am pleased with the way I was able to stay smart and calm. For example when I had to let the leading group go almost immediately after the swim start. I had to lead the chase group with low visibility because of the mist and the low sun. But I stayed calm and managed to swim well. I didn’t feel great in the bike leg, probably because of the cold and the tough course. I rode hard without forcing myself, catching up while sparing my energy for the half marathon. Running went really smooth today. I trained in Switzerland all summer, which probably helped me in the hilly course today. After the first five miles, I knew victory was within reach. Capturing the lead gives you the motivation to keep running for the win.” Bart will now stay in the US to participate in the Ironman 70.3 Pocono Mountains on October 2.

The women’s podium consisted of Nikki Butterfield (Australia; 4:18:57), Caroline Steffen (Switzerland; 04:21:54) and Samanta Warriner (New-Zealand; 04:33:31).

Bruno competed well from the very beginning of the first Ironman Wales. Overcoming a chaotic swim start, he managed to come out of the choppy waters in seventh position, trailing fastest swimmer Simon Oliver by two minutes. He maintained that position on the rolling bike course, but the time difference between himself and new leader Farlow did increase to 12 minutes. However, Ironman laws dictate that all is decided in the marathon, which is exactly what happened in Wales. Bruno clocked a very fast 2:49:10 marathon, earning himself a well-deserved top-three finish.

For a happy Bruno this Ironman podium place (his first) was a big boost after a disappointing season start: “I knew I could get that podium place finish. To me, the question was not whether it would happen, but when. I would have preferred to have gone to Hawaii, but today I am happy to be Wales.” The Ironman Wales works for Bruno: “Wales is a beautiful, tough race with a lot of climbing. Every meter is hard work. I also lost some time in the confusion of the swim start. After a number of athletes cut off part of the swim course on the beach, I was left to chase the pack right away. But the fact that I caught up smoothly was an indication of my form today. In the bike leg, I tried to close the gap at first. But when that didn’t work out, I decided to race smart. I spared my energy and got lots of nutrition in so that I would be able to run a good marathon, which worked out really well.”

With his third place finish, Bruno adds an eighth Ironman podium place* to the 2011 total for the Uplace Pro Triathlon Team. (*full and half distance).
