Athletic career

Raelert began his sporting career as a swimmer at preschool age. In 1992 he switched to triathlon at the TC FIKO Rostock . In 1993 he was appointed to the German national team. Raelert's strength is his balance in all three sports. After graduating from high school in 1996, he was appointed to the sports promotion group of the Bundeswehr in Mainz , of which he was a member until 2009. In the Triathlon Bundesliga Raelert started for the EJOT Team TV Buschhütten . His younger brother Michael Raelert (* 1980) is also an active triathlete.

2004 Summer Olympics

Along with Jan Frodeno (2008, 2012) and Maik Petzold (2004, 2012), he is one of three male German triathletes who have already participated in the Olympic Games twice ( Anja Dittmer has already participated in the Olympic Games four times). Raelert was twelfth in Sydney / Australia in 2000 and sixth in Athens in 2004 .

In 2005, Andreas Raelert began a distance learning course in business administration at the University of Hagen . In 2009 he reached the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii - only his third Ironman race - as the best German in third place. At the same time he was adopted by the German national team with the move to the long distance.

Winner Ironman European Championship 2010

In 2010 Andreas Raelert won the Ironman European Championship in Frankfurt. After a good swim he was able to extend his lead on the bike. Despite the longer route (5 km longer due to construction work), he set a new route record with his bike (4:20:35 h) and switched to the running route with a lead of over ten minutes. In Hawaii, he came second at the Ironman World Championship in October 2010.

On July 10, 2011, Raelert beat the world record of Belgian Marino Vanhoenacker by almost five minutes with a win at Challenge Roth . He held this world best time on the long distance with 7:41:33 h until July 17, 2016, when Jan Frodeno also improved it in Roth to 7:35:39 h. At the same time, he improved the world record for the 180 km bike distance by almost two and a half minutes to 4:11:43 h. This mark was improved on November 3, 2012 by Andrew Starykowicz from the USA at the Ironman Florida to 4:04:39 h.

European triathlon champion middle distance 2012

In June 2012 he was European triathlon champion in the middle distance and in October in Hawaii he was runner-up at the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.

In June 2013 Raelert won the Ironman in Klagenfurt. Because of a torn muscle on the bike course, he was unable to finish the next two long distance races.

In October 2015, after 2010 and 2012, he finished second for the third time at the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. With his second place, Andreas Raelert stood on the podium for the fifth time at the “Flower Ceremony” - more often than any other German triathlete in Hawaii. Before that, he shared this position with the first German Hawaii winner Thomas Hellriegel , who, in addition to his 1997 victory, can also count two second and one third places in Hawaii to his successes. In May 2016, Andreas Raelert had to cancel his start at Ironman Germany (European Championships) , which was planned for July, due to a stress fracture in his thigh.

In 2019 he had to finish second at the Ironman Hamburg in July at kilometer 26 of the running track.
