Jesse Hinrichs inspires in Roth: Strong long distance debut in 8:11 hours!

Roth, Deutschland - Jesse Hinrichs from Oldenburg took part in the Challenge Roth and completed his first long-distance triathlon dance in a time of 8:11 hours. July 9, 2025 will be remembered for a long time, because the finish was a change of feelings for him: on the one hand an empty exhaustion, on the other hand pure joy when he crossed the finish line under the enthusiastic cheers of fans and even ex-hawaii champion Sebastian Kienle. Despite his demanding preparation, which was characterized by illness and injury, he sees enormous potential for improvement for future competitions.

As far as swimming time is concerned, it was not optimal for Hinrichs. After 50:39 minutes he climbed out of the Main-Donau Canal as 21st. The first group had been around four minutes faster, while the second group was just one minute ahead. He drove 4:15:19 hours on the bike route and covered the last 40 kilometers alone. At the marathon he finally found his rhythm and finished the 42.195 kilometers in 3:01:04 hours, which earned him 23rd place. It was particularly gratifying that he used all catering stations and did not lack mental freshness - however, his physical restrictions came into play.

plans for the future

Hinrichs plans to complete a second long distance this year, he would like to significantly improve his preparation. He also emphasizes how important nutrition is for triathletes.

A suitable nutritional plan is crucial for sporting success and personal well-being, as well as runnersworld.de emphasized

A good example of this is shown in the context of the super triathlon weekend in Roth, in which ten participants in the Karlsruhe lemmings, including four long-distance rookies, took part. In sunny weather with maximum temperatures around 27 ° C, several athletes achieved personal best. The event revealed how important a solid preparation is.

It is particularly worth mentioning that women won the team classification and the men's team also ended up in fourth place.

nutritional strategies for triathletes

Proper nutrition plays an important role in preparation for a triathlon. The day before the competition, the muscles should be filled with carbohydrates, which creates a good basis for performance. An adapted diet on the competition day - a breakfast consisting of easily digestible carbohydrates should take place about two hours before the start - is also important. During the competition, you should focus on fast carbohydrates that can be absorbed through sports drinks, bananas or gels.

For competitions over four hours, it is advisable to also take small quantities of amino acids in order to maintain perseverance. After the effort, the focus should be on quickly available proteins and carbohydrates to support regeneration. Runnersworld.de gives valuable information and tips that can help every athlete achieve the best results and fully enjoy the joy of sport.

With these exciting insights, Jesse Hinrichs not only staged his own sporting journey, but also steered the light on strategic planning in nutrition, which is of essential importance for the success of every triathlete.
