Replacement bike rider

Actually, Jörg Foistner was set as the cyclist. Unfortunately, he had to cancel at short notice due to health reasons, which is why his club colleague Lukas Stengel from Arriba Göppersdorf stepped in. Although Lukas had not been able to prepare specifically for the long distance and had previously swum in another relay team, he completed the undulating course in the now very hot temperatures in a fantastic 4:40:40 hours (8th place among all men's relay cyclists) and handed over to the tail man of the relay team.

Marathon at over 30 degrees

Alexander Pascher, the managing director of Altmühltaler, was the last of the trio to take to the course. Despite less than optimal preparation, the experienced runner and former triathlete completed the heat marathon in 3:12:38 hours (22nd place among all men's relay runners) and was happy to finish the relay successfully.
