Good morning Monte Carlo - it's Race Day!



04.09.2011 @ 06:30
It's a great morning here in Monte Carlo after a quiet and cloudy night - athletes have gotten up earlier than usual. Well, not as early as in other races most probably, that's thanks to shorter distances in TriStar! :-)
The bike park opens in 30 minutes for the 111 athletes, and they will pump their tyres, prepare the bikes and get ready for the race while wishing each other a good day.
We're looking forward to an exciting race with the impressive start list we'll have, and it will certainly be an exciting day, also here on TriStarLive.com. Thanks for being here!
C'est une belle matinée qui s'annonce ici à Monte Carlo après une nuit plutôt calme pour les triathlètes qui se lèvent plus tôt qu'à l'accoutumée. Enfin, peut être pas aussi tôt que sur d'autres courses grâce aux courtes distances TriStar ! :-)
Le parc à vélo ouvre dans 30 minutes afin de permettre aux athlètes de gonfler leurs pneus, finir les derniers préparatifs pour la course qu'ils attendent tous.
Nous avons hâte de découvrir le scénario que nous réservent les coureurs, de vivre une journée exaltante ici aussi grâce à la couverture de la course en direct. Merci d'être ici avec nous !
Yes, you can!

Eimear Mullan during the Press Conference



03.09.2011 @ 17:15
" />
Eimear Mullan is an Irish athlete who won the inaugural edition of the TriStar111 Mallorca this year. And it was her first triathlon race ever!!!
That was what she told about TriStar111 Mallorca in her blog:
"On the day I arrived I had quite a strange and random experience. I was checking out San Salvador which is the climb on the bike course and I saw a group of cyclists with a van so decided to ask them if they had a pump. They said they would pump my tyres if I would be part of their photo shoot. I actually thought they were joking. I agreed and was handed some lovely clothing and a bike and was told to cycle up and down the hill while they shot photos with me and some Professional German cyclists. One of the cyclists in the shoot was Marcell Wust, ex world champion cyclist! A very random afternoon. Then Tristar 111, my first race as a pro! I was quite excited about racing especially with the thought that I was standing on the start line with some great legends of the sport (the male pro field was amazing). In the swim I remained calm and stayed steady. Then on the bike I pushed a reasonable pace and enjoyed the big climb going steady up it the first time and pushing a little more second time round. As I was cycling I could see Tamsin at the turn points I was able to judge roughly how far in front of me she was. I started to get excited when I realised that I was closing the gap a little at a time! Coming in to transition and I could see Tamisn leaving, so I tried not to get too excited. My legs felt ok for the first 500m and after that they started to feel the work on the bike but I just told myself to stay steady and not go too hard. The gap was closing and when I passed Tamsin just after the first turn point I just told myself to keep running at the same pace and stay steady. The there it is. I won my first race as a Pro athlete! Amazing, I couldn’t believe it. Tristar was a great experience and I’m looking forward to doing some more of their races in the future. Looks like I really was enjoying that climb!!"

Jacques Pastor, Monaco Government

Joel Jameson

Olivier Marceau



03.09.2011 @ 09:02
Olivier Marceau of Switzerland is two times triathlon world champion, and he participated three times in Olympic Games, which is quite remarkable. He’s a short distance athlete who converted to long distance, and who has now found his perfect race distance in the TriStar111 format, as it combines the best of both worlds for him. Olivier won the first TriStar111 he participated in in Monaco last year. He finished second in the second race in Nevis two weeks ago, while he won the StarMile2.5 Nevis~St.Kitts Cross Channel Swim. Olivier is a triathlon trainer and reads a lot in his spare time.
Also, he won this year in the inaugural TriStar111 Mallorca, beating Chris McCormack and Marcel Zamora... wow!!!
He is the main favourite to get tomorrow the victory in Monte Carlo
Lothar Leder



03.09.2011 @ 09:00
The man known as the first human to finish an Ironman sub 8 hours originates from the town of Worms in Southern Germany, which today is a TriStar destination. Lothar is one of the most successful German triathletes, multiple Ironman champion, three times German National Champ on the Olympic distance, and counts many more titles on his records. While still racing a lot and coaching others, he also became the race director of TriStar Germany – Worms. Lothar is crazy about cars and speed, so of you want to grab his attention (or distract him during the race), mention something with horsepower!
Ain-Alar Juhanson



03.09.2011 @ 08:59
Ain-Alar Juhanson from Estonia became national duathlon champion at the age of 17, after starting out in cross country skiing. He eventually switched to triathlon, and later won Ironman Lanzarote twice. Today, Ain-Alar is the organizer of TriStar111 Estonia and enjoying the organizer side of triathlon as much as the active side as an athlete.
Joel Jameson



03.09.2011 @ 08:58
Joel originally comes from the rowing sport which he engaged in during five years. The British did his first race as a pro three years later in Antwerp – “the worst race ever in my career with a half-marathon of 1h27,” as he calls it. Joel is a professional athlete and successful coach today (or was it the other way round?) hoping to make more athletes discover the beauty of triathlon. He’s a great cycling fan, and has been running ever since. He likes the fact that triathlon is an outoor sport, and the fun factor combined with a good cause he finds in TriStar suits him well.
Coralie Lemaire profile



03.09.2011 @ 08:54
Coralie has started triathlon at the age of 30, although she was always active in various sports. She eventually discovered her passion for running, which then brought her to cross-country running and triathlon. She loves the variety of the sport, and if you ask her to decide which is her favourite discipline, she'll answer that it's cycling - not because she really prefers cycling over swimming and running, but because she likes the fact that she can enjoy landscapes and discuss with friends while cycling. Coralie is amazed by Monaco and likes it a lot!
Good luck to one of the official TriStar Ambassadors!!!
