The Dresdner Kleinwort Triathlon Team had been training in Australia for the last six weeks. Like Normann Stadler, Jan uses the SCOTT Makani RC racing shoe and enjoys the fast and lightweight characteristics of the Makani RC. “The Makani RC is THE shoe to put in a lot of miles," said Raphael. "For a long-distance shoe you have to make little compromise on weight. This maybe slows you down on the first miles, but you win confidence with stability and comfort when it gets close to the finish line.”

However, Jan was unlucky - he had a pair of his Makani RC shoes stolen from in front of his apartment just two days before the race.  We would like to remind fans that these shoes are available in shops too !
