Tips and Tricks from Panagiotis Bitados, winner of Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee 2024

How did you like racing in Walchsee?
Challenge Walchsee is a fantastic organisation. Walchsee is a lovely place.
What’s your favourite part of this race?
My favourite part of this race:
We swam in a crystal clear lake, and the swimming course was quite nice, not boring at all. On the bike, we passed through wonderful places in nature.
It was amazing. While running, many people were cheering, making me feel energised.
What specific tips would you give to first-timers doing the race?
The first-timers doing the race have to be careful on the downhills and the turns. It had secret turns that were slippery when wet.
When will we see you in Walchsee next?
I will race in Mexico on 22 June 2025 this year, but it’s too close to racing in Walchsee. Maybe next year.
Did you have any specific sessions before the race that you believe contributed to your victory?
I checked the bike course before the race, so on the day of the race, I felt prepared to take the turn comfortably.
