Meike Krebs charming, cheerful and passionate

In the ladies' field a keen wind is blowing against her

Ever since Chrissie Wellington stirred up the field, the conditions for the women have been tightened up. Suddenly other standards were imposed. Times are becoming faster, demands higher and training more professional. This year, Meike was able to keep up even if the differences in time between her and Chrissie seemed to be gigantic. The ladies triathlon is definitely in a phase of change, an exciting phase, maybe even a change of generations.

  Meike Krebs is 30 and has been a professional triathlete since 2006. She has a degree in the science of sport giving her reassurance when regarding the future. In 2006, she was an amateur at the IRONMAN European Championship and came 5th. After that she became a professional. 2008 she qualified for Hawaii, the long distance championships at IRONMAN Germany with her fourth place (9:30:47).
  2009 it is in Frankfurt too where she intends to qualify for her second start in Kona, Hawaii.
