The 2007 ITU World Champion Daniel Unger just returned from a 3.5 week training camp in South Africa and will spend the next two weeks in Southern Germany where he resides with his wife Tina and their 7 month old son Toni. The temperature change from the relatively warm conditions in Potchefstroom, South Africa to the snowy cold conditions in Swabia is quite drastic, but Unger enjoys being at home. After the training camp his workouts are a bit more mellow but he still has plenty on his schedule.

On Friday night is the opening of his new shop Daniel Unger Sports and although he is not completely involved in the daily activities there, he still has plenty to do. Plus meeting with sponsors, dealing with pesky media and more importantly spending time with family all has to be balanced with training and getting ready for the season. Slowtwitch followed Unger over a 24 hour period to see what the life of a World Champion in Germany is like.
