Update as at 8 August 2010
long ago that I have written here. No, that does not mean the sport was not. Or has even won the bastard. It was the lack of time. But now directly to my sporting highlights.
I recently met a classmate from the class of 1987, which sees me sometimes when walking. The thought: Now he not only runs, but still running wheel I told him that I have just come from the seas and in three days at a triathlon. Then he said that we would have laughed uproariously over 20 years ago. That's right. And when I look at my athletic development, then it makes me very proud of me. My times are in global terms not worth mentioning.
For me it is so, they occasionally hit health-oriented ;-).
- August Olympic distance Offenburg
in March on Majorca, I started the first time properly to crawl. Thanks to the training of Ute Mückel I had any idea how that could evolve with me. And so I have quite a long train and looked to durchzukraulen the 1500 meters. Due to recent experiences, I was pretty excited to see how it would work this time. I like the Gifizsee very nice panorama, nice Black Forest water. The aim was to durchzukraulen the route, without time pressure.
The swimming was not Neo, the water was too warm.
The launch took place 15 minutes later and I must say, it was damn good. The first 750 yards were just flew over. A Mitsch Wimmer bugged me, apparently he liked my shadow water, I could not get rid of him. I felt like I could continue to swim forever. I had found my rhythm and this has made it even fun. Unfortunately I am also extremely blurred twice what determines me 3-4 minutes time to complete.
Anyway Harry proud as I came out of the water and waved me on my bike 45 kilometers, the Ortenau. Mostly flat, some toxic climbs, fast descents and a lot of headwinds. It was a great track, which was great fun and caused me to pull over. Sorry. I left again to 3 minutes, because I go to an athlete my hose and my pump had borrowed.
because when running was nothing. There is more to be said. I came to the finish and got bitten by me, after a successful swimming and cycling.
What was even more important: I showed my girlfriend triathlon. We have seen league race with Daniel Unger, the pasta party visited, met nice people and she liked it. Not that she now begins to swim and a wheel-like, it is nice that they can understand my enthusiasm a bit.
And for the next competition I've rightly put some new tasks.
- July Duathlon ditch
I had a time to say that such a pretty Duathlon violently is ...
On a sultry Saturday's meet in a few wacky By Graben-Neudorf in a field to a race. In the transition area next to my Endorfinalulady is noble carbon that generates respect. I was afraid that I would enter into the target and the target would be reduced. And so is blowing in a straw bale with me across the finish line.
ran the first 4 kilometers for my situation very well, but I managed it in 20:46. The biking was quite ok, it was wind and I am 100% no slipstream drivers. I'm driving alone in the wind and I love that Though it is allowed. The sucking.
The second 4 km did it hurt quite a bit and were over now after 21:57 and there were indeed a few more behind me. Whether it hurts when you see 'entry into the transition area already the first? No, each as he looks.
It was a great experience and it certainly was not my last duathlon. I think that such small events are fully worthy of support.
- July Miternachtslauf Albersweiler
Oh were the beautiful 8.2 km by the peppered with beautiful circular route climbs through the beautiful wine village. After 44 minutes, the run-over, was a great atmosphere and I was very pleased with myself, not because I'm used to run increases. However, I think it's much harder to run down ...
nice run, start by 22 clock. Before and after small, intimate wine festival. Along the way there, if you like, spritzer.
- July pretzel hard drive Speyer
by almost 35 degrees at 8.2 km in 45:56 The city went. Together with the forward group of RC Speyer. Was fun, lots of friends at the track and be sure that I get along well in heat.
- July Ironman Frankfurt helper Transition 2 / Bike Catcher
considered possessions, whether this job should be mentioned here . Yes, because after 9 hours, the soaking wet T-shirt was the performance and the aid workers bring hammer. After the briefing is ertsmal rest. We were taught how we have to face, etc. It was also important that we bring Timo not quite fast forward and Macca did not initially send the wrong way and then tell them, I do not cross-class ju bud Caen wi taek a piktscha?. Locker still slurped ne latte, watching the athletes as they ride over to you to wonder which of Raelert already so far in front, wondering why the TV was more at Timothy as him. It should be the last quiet moments on that day. Hammer, as the leaders came and had relaxes. I wanted absolutely Meike Krebs help from the wheel, has not worked. In the bustle, it is then only runner from the right, left wheel. Many of the athletes still looked very good in contrast to those who came later and later. There were a remarkable number of bikes here, and even a Peugeot from 1982 SuperSport with Simplex circuit on the frame. We asked the racing judges, whether here not a time credit is due. An athlete as helpers are significantly more sensitive than control manager ... . Well, the racing judges I'd best not say anything, not even on the estimated number of DNS, DNF or DSQ participants. I think it's just brutal, if an athlete 10 seconds after the cut off of the bike course will be prevented from further travel or the other is disqualified because the starting number was verhedert under the jersey. Funny was that some athletes thought we wanted to steal the wheels. Striking how many breakdowns there were with carbon wheels. Or, the moaning and groaning about Neoverbot.
- June Lampertheim sprint distance
After the disappointment of Heilbronn and my panic attack I had put the focus entirely on swimming. No sooner had I started again the same symptoms. Shortness of breath. Malaise. I then switched from freestyle to breast and myself well persuaded that it is only to water, my favorite element. I then got through and I have also made it happily to the finish. Cycling was windy, running was warm. Beautiful little event with swimming in the lake.
- June Heilbronn City Triathlon Sprint Distance
Sad but true. My first crash. Panic attack after 100 meters in the water. Shortness of breath, tightness of the Neo .... . Home disappointed. Won many cognitions which def than 60 € for a sprint. are too much. The triathlon is any different. The open-water training to include at all events. The Neo Neo is not the same. Once the collapse is allowed ...
- June JP Morgan Chase Run Frankfurt
5 kilometers in 29 minutes with 74 000 other runners. Very oppressive wars. Again and again, impressive as such is organized a lot of pushing through the street canyons. And once again seen a few tricks, like the long wait may be avoided until the start ...;-) Nice event run with colleagues and then barbecue.
- May to 6 June 2010 road bike weeks Provence
came together this week some 800 miles and about 13,000 meters. In addition to Signal de Lure, the Gorge du Verdon and the Route de nagging and my personal highlight of the year: the Mount Ventoux. 1200 vertical meters to 20 kilometers. Original Tour de France feeling. Pure goose bumps. Extreme Magenpprobleme. Still kicking high. Since I saw the tour as a child, I wanted the mystical moon hill. In all the years I have been following the Ventouxetappen live. Whenever I said I was laughed at. Is this a cool feeling to be up there smiling :-)
The Signal de Lures I had the first time properly on the bike because of the extremely strong fear Monsumwindes. We drove to the middle of the road and focused on the usn Wiind, who came from all sides.
- UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in May 2010 workers
addition to many great things to come in Offenbug Each year the MTB World Cup. Olympic champion Sabine Spitz as Julien Absalon are at the start, just like Lizzy, Irina, tungsten, or Manuel Moritz. Our task was to forward control and marshal. Our positions were above a slope and the bottom to drop the wolf. We rarely were able to watch the bikers so in their faces like in this race. It was a great experience with a great atmosphere and many peaceful spectators. Of course, we supported the athletes well and it was a lot of fun. Recurrence risk :-)
- May Gäsbock Mountain Bike Marathon
Last Exit in Lambrecht. About 50 kilometers in changing weather conditions. Horny, very heavy trail route. Regular departures made to visit scar on the shin. Nothing bad happened. Has this made a lot of fun to drive. Too bad that there will be no more this event.
- April to 2 June 2010 Training Camp Mallorca
My first training camp of my life. It was at the Blue Bay Resort in Can Picafort in the north. This was Ute Mückel, Arne Dyck, Jürgen Sessner and Heidi Jesberger. Since it was also my first holiday after a very busy winter training a week was also a relaxing aspect. In principle, the day ran as follows: 1 h with Ute swimming technique training, breakfast, bike tour for a group, then running or swimming or stability with Heidi, dinner, lecture. The tour takes you through beautiful areas in Majorca (sea, valleys, owner of celebs, orange groves, ...) and the Spirit was among the athletes great. Even with the weather we had a very lucky almost always sunshine, and so I could jump into the sea views. The swimming training were at the start of my transition from breast to crawl. It's like learning to swim again. Ute brings a very close and this technique is a lot of information on technology training. For me as a hopeless case, it really has meant that I am almost 8 weeks later durchgekrault 1500th OK, my friend, I was almost only seen on the lake and I have yet to do a lot of technology. The mirror for dry training has already been ordered and the mats for the Athletic Training (For Heidi sees it all so simply) as well. The winter will :-)).
The camp was a lot of fun and I made up my mind to be back there next year.
- April Half Marathon German Wine Route
With bright blue sky It was going on at the time Weintor over the mountain and valley route. At first, they went pretty hard, and the smile was passed as the idea that this concerned a circuit. Exactly. I also had everything back up to the end. Well, after about 2 hours, I ran across the finish line and was also happy to have finished this run was, but he still running on my personal to-do list. Legs good, good weather, fun was there. the final increase will remain in my memory, was violent, but did run up enormous fun.
