Erik Wickström vinder Växjöklassikern

Wickström vann Växjöklassikern

 

SK Elfsborgs multiidrottare Erik Wickström vann i stor stil femte upplagan av Växjöklassikern. I tävlingen körs alla moment av en Svensk Klassiker: 750 m simning, 75 km cykling, 22,5 km rullskidor och 7,5 km löpning. Wickström vann på tiden 3 timmar och 28 minuter, vilket också är nytt banrekord.

-          Det var här något av det roligaste jag har gjort. Och jobbigaste. Tävlingen innehåller alla de fyra stora konditionsidrotterna i Sverige och jag känner mig verkligen komplett som uthållighetsidrottare. Jag tror mina Boråskompisar Jonas Colting och Andreas Lindén skulle haft svårt att hänga med idag, säger Wickström utmanande med glimten i ögat.

 

Erik Wickström har tidigare tävlat på elitnivå som längdåkare och går nu mot en seriös comeback till vintern. Men triathlonsatsningen får vänta.

-          Innan dagens övningar hade jag bara crawlat tre gånger, så jag hade tur att simningen var så kort. Någon gång i livet vill jag göra en ironman, men då vill jag simträna ett par år först.
