ABOUT

Philipp Wendland

The Athlete
I’m Philipp, a Munich-based age-group triathlete who came to triathlon without any swimming or biking experience. Despite this, my training approach enabled me to finish my first middle-distance race in under 5 hours.

Performance
In 2026, I finished the Challenge Championship in Samorin in 4:17:00 (placing 11th in AG30-34) and improving my previous best from the 2025 70.3 Elsinore (finished in 4:30:10) edition by 13 minutes.

What’s next
Currently, I am working on qualifying for the 70.3 World Championship, with a long-term goal of starting in Kona. The ambition is simple: See how far disciplined and data-driven training can take an athlete who is genuinely in it for the long haul.
