What Can I Do To Make My Voice Sweet

Almost forgot - when the brain is trained away

Good people,

the tension continues to rise, and to me it seems a bit of my brain to dissolve. I remember the best will not remember what I've been training in the past week - at least not to each unit. There is only one, wait until Anna comes home and hope that you can think of one or another training session. How should I describe my week you otherwise?

And because of brain and memory: almost forgot I had to write blog. This must be thought out! This is of course also the reason why I'm half a day late. Well, I hope you can live with it.
The bad thing is, I will do do not know what I said in the coming days forget everything. Radutensilien clothes and that I need for the race. Spare parts, shoes, jerseys, bolts. What if I forget my race number, which I still dare to 1732 in the brain back and forth billows. Or if I leave the bike at home? Oh, that will not happen, Anna and Prince Rainer're there. But a race number belt, the ribbon for the time chip on the ankle or the quick release for the running shoes that can do everything already come easily to the dogs, so be forgotten. Maybe I should start to write me a note. Better is better. And in the meantime, let's see what Martin has made so everything:


"Hello people!
Yes, here we go! Pants full! The nervousness increased significantly was allowed, yesterday I experienced night the hard way. From 1 clock at night until the morning at 5, I was awake. Wide awake. to do nothing. My mind was always the direction of Klagenfurt. The head of cinema, as Thomas last year so well named, has really only benefits.'s how you get at least in mood and prepares itself automatically (albeit unconsciously) mentally for the competition . The game, however, brought me the idea for my well-deserved sleep bugged tremendous. Especially since I am really top-optimistic about our race next Sunday. No reason not to sleep because of it. If everything is going well, it can be a really good day. Oomph! But we'll see.

Like last week, announced this week was not what concerns the training so much. This was even on my business trip to England, but not only. For I was before the flight on Monday morning have gone to the swimming pool and have, as usual, to complete my interval and technology unit. Since I knew I would have no evening events in Southampton, I had packed my running shoes and still am a Time is held along the sea running. Beautiful, again to taste really salty sea air.

Martin on the ship, set the rudder in the hands

The next day was sailing on the plan. The sun was shining and all were on board, despite a whopping five winds around barefoot on board. It really is great to feel teak deck on her bare soles. I stood at the helm and tried to change the steering wheel when I slipped and me with full force right big toe at the captain's chair struck. At first I thought, "that's it. No Ironman for me this year. Zeh broken!"
Did that hurt done! Really brutal. I had no choice as the best of a bad job to do, bite your teeth together and quickly in my warm, protected sailing shoes to slip. Evening in the hotel room was the toe then also with beautiful blue and thick. But, all wild semi Sun I could move it. And slip into the jogging shoes and run went. PUH! That was close.

What we learn from it? After eight months of preparation and many, many hours of training received never a risk. Above all, this close to competition. Since then, I also just wrapped up really warm (despite 20 degrees) to the door. On a cold I have that is no motivation.

Here again my week in numbers:

Monday: 2600 Swimming, intervals
Monday: 57 minutes of running, 10 kilometers
Tuesday: nothing
Wednesday: 1:28 hours running, 18 kilometers
Thursday: Swim 2600 meters, intervals
Friday:: 3000 meter swim
Friday: 53 minutes of running, 11 kilometers
Saturday: 3:20 hours wheel, 109 km
Sunday: Bike 2:15 hours, 71 km

Training Total: 11:53 hours

This week will certainly not happen much anymore. Relax and rejuvenate is a must! On Wednesday we make it all on the road to Klagenfurt.

We hear again the next Monday. Hopefully with great news. Wish us luck. A little luck never hurts.

Pa'a!
Martin

Uiiii, this looks like a normal week. This is a minor difference but not my last seven days. The view that is as far as I remember and Anna think of anything more, as follows from:

Monday: Swim 3800 meters
Tuesday: No idea
Wednesday: 1:30 hour run, 17 kilometers
Thursday:?
Friday: 1 hour running, 11 kilometers
Saturday: Nothing, I know exactly
Sunday!: 2:36 hours cycling, 78 km

Total: Approximately 6 hours.

Yes it may be true? But somehow it just came that way. And I can still think and think again, but there was not anymore. Hm The trouble is also that I am still very tired. Herrjee, that does not exist yet. But it is true that the whole thing to me in the past two weeks but was quite difficult. Somehow I had always something in between or just do not want. And, unlike Martin, I could not seem to torture and then get out. Jo, it is he. Can we do nothing.

What it otherwise: I have now almost all the puzzle-particles together so that it may soon go off. Starting the wheel: two wonderful Zipp wheels have reached me on loan, and after I shared with Norman's help, the brake shoes, and also the tires again stuck again, have the box now looks as if one could be so pretty fast on a 180-kilometer bike course move. Whether I can do it, remains to be seen, but at the wheel, it will almost certainly not exist if it should not work.

My Basso - iss et non beautiful! Wrrrroooooommmmmm!

Then I had me at the last minute a new Tri-Pant (new German short pants for sport with a thin Wheel insert bought). I finally landed at Skinfit which has very nice thin fabric. I hope tomorrow is nice weather again, so I can test it for a short test ride on the bike.
As for the wear, so I'll probably wear my very old shirt, which I actually supported all of my long-distance races. Anna says, as stuck in there good energy and good memories - and I mean it. Ahh, almost forgot - again - need new cleats screws I have. Another one of those many small particles puzzle.

granola bar I have stashed away already. I'll probably go with the Outsnack into the race. Who may not as great energy values such as power bars, but I think it's pretty good that there are in it processed oatmeal, so it still has something to chew. Speaking of chewing

: Please note, on 15 July, which is a Wednesday, we hold to the Altona balcony, which is the green in front of the Altona Town Hall, overlooking the harbor, a post-Ironman-grilling. I bring the grill, provide otherwise, each for meat, sausages and drinks. Would be nice if we could open up as a colorful round. As I said: 15 July, say from 18.30 clock.

So, what I forgot. Ah yes, the race live ticker. Maik has promised that he take care of it would know but not sure if he is available throughout the day. We will be clarified. However, it should be possible that you will about what kept up to date. So make, Sunday nothing - rather read blog!
advises Just me, my friend Rolando, that I might unwind on Twitter the live ticker. Maybe we should try it again. Leave it to click once on www.twitter.com / paa_biz

Geez, if I stop now, then forget what I intended. But I must wupper a few things outside of sports, and time flies.

My advice: subscribe to the RSS feed then you are always up to date.

sisster Aaaah, well, almost forgot. Inventory have just made. Actually, this should motivate me, but in fact it scared me. Here is my training data for the year 2009 (from 1 January, up to and including today): I swam

89 900 meters. These are the weekly average 3300 meters. Well, that's not much, even more little. Swimming pros do it in a week! But who knows me knows that I am as always a little lazy. Can we not change eh!

bike I rode 5257 km . That sounds pretty quite decent. There are 194 kilometers per week. So roughly speaking, twice per week cycle. I think that you can already fairly vigorous press.

Now comes what really scares me: Sent I am no less than 772 km . These are per week 28 km. Ahem. What can I say: Each had from our Pa'a team and I have more demands. But somehow - I think especially of the shins - was no longer possible. And now that these things do not hurt more, it's too late. So be it.

The backpack is tied, and with what's inside I need to get along. And I will.
Update: Here is yet (later) an inventory of Martin. The sounds in a sentence like this:
"I'm down in preparation for September (which from September to November is really really little happening) swam 183 km, 5862 km bike and run 1417 km ."

Huiuiuiiii, at least the running and swimming miles I would probably like. But as I said, the package is ready. As I always say in fun and for myself to encourage:
This is a massacre! Haha.

In this sense. Stay tuned! This will be a long, hard, dirty day in Klagenfurt.

Sincerely, Your mathias

How Do You Know If Sinusitis Is Going

The tension mounts

Good people,

huiii, tension is rising. Only two weeks, no, not even this more lick In two weeks we have our wounds! And hopefully it has some benefit. I will at least slow jittery. Not really nervous, but I'm scared a bit. Cause I know how painful that always does. Oh man.

any event, the hardest and most work is now behind us. The last long run is made, and the gradual descent of the training culminates with me again today directly into a ineffable laziness, so I do not know if I even still today hammer out a training session. Somehow I find that very well known. For once I was always so. "Train Oh, today? Nope, I can not even tomorrow .. Make or maybe the day after tomorrow "Reinbek-Maik will remember, perhaps from the 2005 Project is working

Well I was - I think - for my relations in the past few months actually pretty good about it Sometimes I knew I had almost given himself. .. (Apart from my still ongoing swimming laziness) But right now, the old routine yet again comes to light, so we start here first with the industrious - Martin:

"Hello sports fans!
A small summary of last week, which I found to be rather tough sport technically. For toughness in particular the absolute underground weather had contributed. You had the last seven days really in any outdoor unit could expect to be soaking wet. I'm not made of sugar, but indicated the sport fun slowed down so neatly. Nevertheless

are ten units met:

Monday: Swim 2600 meters, 10 x 100m intervals
Monday: 59 minutes of running, 11 kilometers
Tuesday: 71 kilometers bike, 2:14 hours, Pa'a Challenge 37:40
minutes Wednesday: Swim 2600 meters,
Wednesday: 2:08 hours, 27 kilometers running
Thursday: free
Friday: Swim 2600 meters, intervals
Friday: 52 minutes walking, 11 miles, 4 x 3min intervals
Saturday: 2: 11 hours cycling, 71 km
Saturday: 35 minutes walk, 8 km
Sunday: 3 hours cycling, 92 km

Total time: 15 hours

Martin on the bank. Man, we are dressed as in December - and it's June. End of June!

The next three days I am again on business and will make the Solent on Tuesday (Isle of White, Southern England) precariously on a 30 meter high-tech sloop made of carbon. Looking forward, a little variety is always good. On Wednesday, I'm back in the running shoes.

next week!
Have fun on the dike and good luck with Pa'a .- Challenge. Give Everything! We want new best times to see.

Pa'a!
Martin

juut Na, training, hard work is the one thing - that I write more Unfortunately, -. Is well written to me on 5 July in Klagenfurt hardly Well, it must also do not because quite so lazy.. I was in this week either. And, if you look closely, then you will know that had there all fit in something else.

For example, on Monday, when I contented myself sometimes with a floating unit did. And, although I also on Sunday had just grilled, and had graduated on Saturday in Lanzarote, a 25-mile tour of coffee (in the truest sense of the word). Actually, that is no history, the one with a floating unit could be satisfied. Unless your name is Mathias Müller - I just do not want to anymore.

But then yes, it has crashed on Tuesday with our Pa'a Challenge correct (previous report). Since I was but then again so proud that I am on Wednesday, despite a lot of time, just run. At least 25 kilometers. This stream was mixed in the other right. I had from the start - as I say - business problems, and somehow the whole system was therefore quite untrue. And I was just glad that I turned, as Dirk Radtke and Martin decided to run to the next almost 10 kilometers quickly - mind you, in the Long Run!

The Thursday struck again with a floating unit to book. Crap, really really not enough for the crucial period. But the head and body would somehow calm, and I have them worried. And on Friday I have been following this, as I put only a loose jogging on the Elbe, and in turn to any swimming waived.

mind was also a little Altonale Anna's engagement to blame. Because there they had a booth where she sold her friend Wiebke hand printed scarves, shirts and baby rompers. I can tell you: Our apartment looks out for two months as a workshop, and I'm glad when it is now a little calmer. Where things go on, because on the Altonale many people were interested, and have ordered as some of you out in our Pa'a-shirts by mail, this too is now on-and offline run on. Interested? Then click here times.
And why stop me on the swim? Because of course I helped here and there where I could. Logical.

On Saturday I was biking with Reiner (starts in Klagenfurt), Dirk (Roth) and the short-athletes and Jens Thomas in the north of Hamburg on the road. This was a unit. First of far out, and as we were the furthest from Hamburg, it was suddenly "Now 10 minutes!" At first I was somewhat undecided, but then I have not changed my rags, and I'm down with. What should I say curious thigh to burst, gasping, burning lungs, snot on jersey, pants, top tube.

Nevertheless, it went quite well. And then was gone again so quiet - until, indeed until the announcement was: "Now 20 minutes!" "Oh Noo", I thought, "but that has just done so much." But it was indeed nothing. So head down and play the same game all over again - only twice as long. I have survived it yet. The 30-minute film, but I wanted Nocht heat longer. Since then I've turned my own thing right, and somehow it was because of the onset of rains also safer that way. And it has rained maybe. So so what a rain!

Well, after 30 minutes of the interval was over and the others were faster in the group only one and a half minutes as I do. I could live with. For the struggling I pace, I surmised, would I be able to also drive for five hours. Yes, sounds optimistic, but yes you have to be!

(Note: Here it is right also to Anna's Printing) ->>

In contrast to the finite interval could hear the rain but only a further quarter of an hour later. I was now 90 km on the odometer and I was fairly cold. 20 km later, at least the leggings were a bit dried, then it has caught us above the city once more bitter and cold. Corrosive. After 130 kilometers, I knew at least not fast enough in the hot tub to come. The clothes were flying through the house, and hush-hush, whoosh-whoosh, I was already in the hot soothing water.

then quickly, very quickly (I wanted to Anna and Wiebke on the state) a huge plate of pasta, hot-drawn and get rid of. Man oh man, a tour can take a perhaps the energy from the body. What are you listening this? For example, because I barely three hours later - in the time I had already placed a coffee and cake at me - another of fries, sausage-Majo munched. And that has tasted!

head down and off it goes wild Luzie

After a few hours on the stand and a few beers at the end of the day, I then slept quite well. And the next morning it was supposed to go back on the wheel, and this time even for 5 or 6 hours. When I saw the weather, but I put a text message from all the others that I was too sure have not. Martin, it was similar, and both of us so we sat around noon for a Ründchen on the plane. At least 98 km were in it for me - and, I believe, almost too quickly. But there it is again: With Martin is actually Never one unit below 30 km / h away. So be it.

And so this is my week:

Monday: 32oo-meter swim
Tuesday: 2:30 hrs bike, 78 kilometers; Pa'a Challenge: 36:06 minutes
Wednesday: 2:08 hours running, 25 kilometers
Thursday: Swim 3100 meters
Friday: 1 hour running, 11 kilometers
Saturday: 4:18 hours wheel, 129 Km
Sunday: Bike 3:15 hours, 98 km

makes the total: 15 hours

Well, goes anyway. Do we not want to be so strict. But on any day twice sport. Hmm Nah, it remains the case that is lazy.
And yet I come today not out of the mud, I teach rather the comfortable saying her "I'm not now, I fight in the last 13 days and no more."

So stay loose. Maybe eat a Franz bread? A cup of cocoa? Both? Both!

Sincerely, Your mathias

Update on the dike

Good people,

this is again an extra message. Why? Because Martin and I went together yesterday wheel.

But first things first: I had already noted that I am currently feeling a bit tired and I'm not really motivated. No idea why that is. However, it is Sun And after I went swimming on Monday and yesterday only I go again felt in the ropes. A lot of things on the desk organization, a pinch of fatigue in and it looks very bad with the training. "Herrjee, that must still create now, for the few weeks," I said to myself constantly. But it was to do nothing, I had not raised the ass.

Secretly, I hoped that Martin might call and ask me if I did not like to ride with him. With hope and fear entered so equal back in a fight. For as I know only too well, Martin is well on it and will always be some gas while I'm more of Cosy in training.

Well, suddenly shone around noon my e-mail to sign Martin. Whether I would have no desire to (Note:) Baller Round on the bank. Geez, I really did not know if I should be happy or afraid. The joy, however, has won only once, because I absolutely wanted to get some exercise. His note on the new driving experience to try, "but put me right back in a cold sweat, as translated, this meant something like" I come with aero front wheel and disc!

I - after all - I've put my best dress. At least look good I wanted. And 18 clock, we then hit the golf course. The wind seemed to be favorable, and when I asked whether he intended to take the Challenge, he nodded motivated. Again I thought "Oh dear", but what it should, some things you simply must . Make We squint not only on the other, but us during the whole challenge was to focus on us, we set apart the start times for five minutes.

Martin with race wheels on one of the small dikes

Martin started and heated at full steam and cannon tube through the imaginary time limit, while I was a little undecided (no one I could even force throttle fully closed) and nervous went back and forth. A small group of three cyclists and two single drivers still filled the gap between Martin and me, and I was it. "What the heck, try I'm going to . Study So take a run and pass full pelt at the start plate.

I am going, as if it were a one-kilometer time trial, and then felt my thighs even after a thousand meters. So I had a kicking little shorter, but was still quite fixed. Soon I caught up with the first single driver. Somehow, I was almost embarrassing. Because if I go on a guy with head bowed low and gasping past me, then I wonder, too, always check with which everything is in order. But no matter, he should think what he wanted, I had to fulfill an order, and was "as fast as I can down the dike."

Then appeared the second single driver in front of me. Uii, who looked as if it were very fit. And no sooner was I past him, he already hung on my rear wheel. But he had to accelerate from about 40 things on places 47th Together we went past the group of three, and I saw him after that overtaking at all. But he should ride quietly, the main thing I was ahead - time trial time trial, no sucking allowed. After three / four minutes but then broke his shadow from mine, and while away to the rear. Also good.

As I said, the wind was favorable yesterday. Said he was not as tight as for my 37:45-Challenge - I mean. When it came to Zollenspieker, I have been one or two kilometers with 46 or 47 on the road. Heidewitzka!
Unlike Martin, who told me later that it had motivated him weird that I was down there somewhere behind him (where the gap was chosen but with five minutes of really great), I was constantly with me. To be more specific in my old capacity of 37:45 minutes. Because when I was at customs Spieker, and already more than half of the track very well on the way was because I knew that I had to press at the end of the line side and the side ahead of incident wind, been permanently below 36 km / h, if I wanted to make a dash through the good ride.

Mathias on the way back the Pa'a Challenge

However, the last kilometers were expecting heavy. Suddenly, more and more the 3 to the front of the speedometer, and I tried again to 4 allow for the thing with all his strength. And finally came the very last line, then the bus stop sign, and I was. This had to, I have thought quite exhausted actually worked.

The upshot: When I was still struggling and gasping for breath, stood in front of Martin, said he reached me his time: 37:40 minutes! He had the Pa'a-Challenge in the hand, because my previous best time was five seconds have been so slow. Incidentally, he had his old personal best time of expressing about 2 minutes offered! Pretty cool, huh?!
had not deceived me, however my feeling, and confirmed the view of the summary in my GPS that I had put another on it. If I went through the goal with 37:30 - people - I would have been very satisfied. Actually stood: 36:06 minutes, corresponding to an average of 44.62 mph. And I was, then as left - in the truest sense of the word.

Current Pa'a-Challenge in the display of GPS - please do not forget: a tail wind!

bottom line is I think that we both currently with the wheel fairly decent road. Where the challenge is no real indication of our performance is over 180 kilometers. Neither in terms of route length (the Pa'a Challenge has 26.85 km) nor on the wind conditions (which must always be very good at a good Pa'a-Challenge, that tailwind). Ultimately, it is only a peripheral activity, a fun, a training tool. From which I, however, very promising. For as the last challenge-rides Martins have changed sense of personal peak performance significantly. He is now simply courageous, brave enough to go to approach its limits, as it was a few months. And the same development He has lain down in the other two disciplines.

pity that I have used this instrument itself is not the way I had imagined it would actually made. Actually I wanted to go for two months twice a week thing. Anyway, it is now time not always the way you want it. So I will go to the start line with what I have, not what I dreamed of me once. But - it must be enough, for whatever reason. Prefer to play during a race, which simply feels good at it. Although I had such a really first in 1998 in Roth. Back then it was all of a piece. And even then I had no ideal preparation. It is therefore Hope.

In this sense. With warmest regards, Your mathias

Let's see what this week's inside. I just installed my carbon wheel. :-)

next week!
Kind regards,
Martin

Yes, but Hello This sounds like really great at. He has always sparked me to Lanza that there is bad weather so, and he practiced here more than .. I see on the island you will

But what really pleased me is that he has taken the matter with the intervals to heart - and in all disciplines Still. respectively, more than ever, I am convinced that Martin is really fast in Klagenfurt. Oh please, expresses his doll and your fingers crossed. (And if you still have a free, I might also need one more.)

In fact, it'll soon come. Just three weeks. One long run a few times on the dike and some tiles are in and it goes out to Carinthia. I will pack up all my Pa'a-shirts. And most of all I would have a patch for the shirt and a sticker for your bike. Let's see if that is what goes. In addition, we will only need so many fellow travelers as possible, and just all of your thumb.

Ah, but we now want to look not too far forward. How does my last days were in Lanzarote?
Last Stand was my Ironman course round. With NEM-section 30 (sorry: 29.86), I was really pleased. Only the sun can seem just not happening, and the very next day, the disillusionment was waiting in the form of my long run for me. I can not remember that I ever had to fight for a two-hour run Sun A drag beyond compare. Also extremely slow. For the half-marathon route took me 15 if not 20 minutes more than a week earlier. I was just limp, limp, limp.

The (old) Man and the Sea

wanted to stop I do not know how often I do. Do you know - when you walk across country in a region where far and wide, no tree, no flow, no animals, no green plants, and certainly no man, then you play desöfteren with the thought "What the heck, I can not go . Well, to this extreme, it has not come, but I can tell you that I have in 2 hours and a second, immediately press the stop watch and stopped me. Thus, the long running time was more than 23 kilometers long. God, was I frustrated. And the knowledge of a few units before hard, I could not build so well.

Well paid. In the evening again in the pool and down into the box. Oh no, that night was so karaoke party. And if I have not sung, yet had a lot of soft drinks around in my way, which I and four clock in the morning and could not really dodge well. The next morning was clear to me that singing would have been a better alternative. So be it.

62 kilometers, I went in the afternoon walk. At more was unthinkable. No, not because I was not feeling well, but because of the wind. The blowing that day so much that I several times between Tias, San Bartolome from the click pedal had to get out because I wanted to throw the crosswind in the ditch. Madness!
A special unit I had then considered for the Friday morning from the car, down to Playa Blanca, and onto the ferry over to Fuerteventura, going up on the saddle. With this Dr. Dieter from Cologne, whom I had met at the karaoke evening. There, we took a nice and quiet 124CI round. The next day, again a 25-ride coffee and that's about it. Here are my week:

Monday: 1:01 hours run, 12 kilometers
Monday: swim 2300 meters (Note, I only charge 45 minutes)
Tuesday: 5:54 hours wheel, 176 km
Tuesday: Swim 2100 meters
Wednesday: 2 hours run, 23 kilometers
Wednesday: 2100 meters
swim Thursday: 2:41 hours wheel, 62 km
Friday: 5 hours wheel, 124 km
Saturday: 1 hour bike, 25 kilometers
Sunday: free and crickets at Thomas Hillig (where Martin was)

Total: 20 hours

Or
Swimming: 6.5 km
bike: 387 km
skiing: 35 km

Oh dear, that's not really much, right? But Saturday is indeed the Sunday travel day and now even necessarily free. Let me let's see just how much good the trip to Lanzarote Total

swim: 17.8 km
bike: 1013 km
skiing: 87 km

A last photo from the Mirador del Rio

No, that's not really much. But it, too little sports fans are to blame, who did not come with me, and with whose help I would certainly have been more diligent. Although I am quite happy with the bike, as a result of combining work and cycling was not much in there. While swimming, maybe even the two units, and while running, - well - that would have really so two can be even more. Well, ultimately I must answer yes to myself. It is simply, when you live with me in a skin.

I am now looking forward to what this week here, for I have - thank God - back some on the desk. Oh, who cares of you for art, should visit the artist Herman from Paderborn over. He paints translucent images, also Cycling is also a passionate cyclist and otherwise a very nice!

Aah, because I find it still a nice story. In addition to Herman and Dr. Dieter I have on three evenings with Angela sat out Wuppertag together. I then told her of my book and the Lanzarote project, and because she was so interested, I have shown her the films. She was thrilled!
When I came the next evening to a restaurant where the other three already were seated, she told me, that they take their usual 30 minutes on the treadmill, now 45 minutes would have done: "Mathias, all because of you and your project!" Well, a little proud I was. This is a performance increase of 50 percent. And then I can add that Dr. Dieter, Fuerte-up to our trip even always 70 kilometers, was driven - mostly flat, mind you. In contrast, our 124CI he had also taken away 1500 vertical meters.
have Anyway, I got me about these two experiences and performances very much.

Such were most of my breaks in Lanzarote from

So, that it is now once again been be for today. And, - briefly to the comments. First of all, thanks for the encouraging words of all! Then a nice greeting to Soeren. Where we look forward to seeing you again. Just join in Klagenfurt over - is but not that far from Bucharest, ahem.
And then our Roadrunner Florian. Well, every year it comes back to this point. For what? Well, you speak to the winter reading. Who knows if I write in the winter. It's quite possible that the blog with a review of Klagenfurt and ends. It is difficult for me (it was in 2005, Maik will remember), but surely unvermeindlich. Unless there are any crazy again, which I want to trust. Or some other project. Oh, all snow tomorrow.

What matters is the here and now. And that means to me: Today nothing more training, but most likely a nut-biter chocolate. Hmm, the first bite is already done.

Had you well and let you taste it!

What Does It Mean For Men To Have Pierced Nipple

Bammm - Second Day Pa'a

Good people,

it is - now at the beginning of my writing - 21.20 clock. I've trained, well cooked pasta, of course, has already been eaten, and the washing is already made. The movie has failed, because no one was there. So I told the projectionist. And for me, each delayed he wanted anschmeißen not the mill, too. Crap, I had thought so too, so escape the loneliness a bit. Oh I should have just taken a good book. Forgotten. It remains to me nothing, except - blogging - right. No, this is not Lückenbüßerei, it gives me pleasure indeed. And again today especially.

Once Anna amidst the volcanic landscape

What happened is, since my 202er on Sunday? Actually, not much. Yesterday was indeed closed. That is to say here - if you are alone - that runs 12 kilometers in the morning and evening swims 2,300 meters again. Swimming is really cool here. I always go at night because it is nothing more going on. Actually, I've always a path for me. And the water is so incredibly comfortable here. Somehow make the Lasanta in a salt-water light-chlorine mixture. And that's great! I see almost nothing then - while I run all day in Hamburg, the nose and the eyes are red.

between the two units I first located lazily in the sun. And I totally burned in the middle of the back a plate of large area. Logical, for so hard I'm hard, I could not rub there alone. And the Norwegian women's national team in handball I wanted to ask either. There were indeed a few nice here, but what if they suddenly had reported the 1.90-wife from the back. Better not.

After the sun (fire) am I then a 120 laps - with the car. And the road led me past a further highlight of the unfortunately deceased artist Cesar Manrique, the cactus garden. Total beautifully arranged and everything. Really great. Meanwhile, I have seen really a lot of things that you when your time comes here Dared not miss. And also do not have to, because most things can be combined with the training. Who cares whether a 100-lap times between stops for an hour. Training is training. And the basic endurance eh sausage.

impression of the Jardin de Cactus

Last night I was feeling it a little funny. My thoughts punished the air conditioner in the car. However, I buzzed for the day already another goal through the head. I had to wait and see how the night goes and how I feel in the morning.

Juut, the night was not special, but who cares. I woke up at 7:15 clock, and then - you know, the - angels hot discussion between the left shoulder and right shoulder devil. Well, angels, rather, Müllerchen has won. So got up, breakfast, Inflated tires, saddle up half a centimeter, bottles made clear view of the sky, the time would rather put something new thicker Basso-shirt, good rub suntan lotion, five bars in the bag - bar five? That much? Yes, so many! - And out to the backyard. GPS turned on, eat up and go.

After 200 meters I was on it, on the Ironman route. That was my goal today. And I wanted to see what comes out so when I go fairly sharp. Says: Not with all the recent pressure, but always consistently stay tuned aero position. After two hours I was at the Mirador del Rio. Au did, I hurt my left lower back! Whether to do with the fifth increase had. I accepted it, but now wanted to not screw. A break in the bar standing, better go to the back lets go, and on we went to just under five minutes. Already was obvious that the the "not all recent pressure" had done almost. Why not race pace (WST, race-specific speed, logical) drive. So head down and print - just as it was with Martin during the Ironman Lanzarote-2008 on the frame. "Bammm", I thought. A taboo word, but somehow fueled me today.

Now I know that the Nazareth-passage may be better quickly and get on the aero bars. Well, thank God. But the passage is annoying already. Beautiful still the route of Conil (just before is "the will is everything!" In large letters on the asphalt) down to Puerto del Carmen. Wuii goes, the beautiful and always downhill left curve, right curve, left, right - great. Puerto del Carmen, however, is a nightmare with no roadblocks. Especially since all they that have altered in the target area. So just where the target was turned on and on.

In Uga I just had to stop again. Pullen My two were empty, and I was not so fed, me too. So purely in the shed: a liter of water, two cans of Coke, a can of ice tea, a packet of Tuc. Just under 15 minutes I paused there. Did not different, so everything had to be jammed or crumpled first. A real advantage of the pause was not, however. What I found it hard to start driving again. Unbelievable.

In El Golfo I was fooled then the wind, but since I did not care about anything anyway. All the time I had before the word "Bammm" in the head, and the goal of driving a 30 average. Damn, that had to somehow be possible. On the line in the mountains of fire then the wind was so strong, like the entire last ten days not. "Foul play!" Wanted to cry, I let it stay but, as each breath was important. The whole time I wondered if it was possible to create this accursed six hours.

The photo is not of today - logical.

"remain calm," I told myself again and again, "simply to preserve the tranquility, you can," cost me 16 minutes of ascent. That was - I think - not at the end of such a long round of bad. (Measured from the inlet side of the road before the Timanfaya sign up to the road sign to the small valley, 1000 meters behind the camels). Now I had about 30 minutes for 20 kilometers. "But," I knew, "10 flat, 10 down." And again: "stay calm, you can," In every turn of the handle reingehorcht, it is the right gear, the right frequency?

Then the headwinds of Tinajo to decline. What to do? Did not be. Although always so, but not always so strong. "I do not care but now, I'm not on hold. And if it is not enough, I'll still be happy. "In Lasanta, the bumps on the road, the last obstacles. To the press, there are still two kilometers. A recent small increase, press oh what a wave, and "Stop".

after 176.5 kilometers (Schiebung!) and 2340 meters (Schiebung!) was the Clock at 5:54 hours. Yep! And now the average: 29.84 km / h. Yes, it must be true. Two flat kilometers yet, and I would have had it provides! No matter. I was very, very happy with my day. A check with Maik in Hamburg by the way pointed out that this bike split just the 20th been in my age group would be. Yes because the spin, the other 40? Well, after all, a house number. And the 202er was perhaps even into the bone.

a reward I have from 15 bis 17 clock again located in the sun. Beautiful. Oh, and then I was just naturally float or 2100 meters. Yes. Went quite well. Slowly makes fun. One can not build such a bath in my street in Hamburg? Contact with similar water, low operating and - most important - the sun is not forgotten.

Jutchen so far from here first again. Now is 10 and until I've got online, it will be 11th Until then, the bottom bracket in half and I have a nice bed gravity. And tomorrow? Tomorrow will be trained. Let's see what. I was buzzing through my head since.

In this sense. Pa'a!

What Causes Reactive Lymphocytes

Today: Pa'a Day

Good people,

this is the story of the lonely Mathes. The fact is currently in Lanzarote and is all alone. And really really fun is not. But - no matter whom he also in the run, said team members, family members, friends Pa'a - no one wanted him on the island society . Make And although everything was arranged and paid for: room, rental car - almost no cost! And by the way please tell me now nothing of "envy" and so, as I said, no one wanted to. But this story, we come back later.

Oh, today I had during the day, thoughts and anecdotes for two or three blogs. But now they are all gone. Out risks, brain pushed away, synapses lost somewhere between El Golfo and the Mirador del Rio on the track - perhaps slipped on my lactate, no idea. So let's see

first time what Martin has done so. Maybe I find it again one or the other one. Maybe between two sips Cerveza. Nu but Martin:??

"People, people
What's going on, it still governs the ol sheep's cold in Hamburg as one wishes to Mathes on the Canary island, or Impossible? me at least. Mathes, hail and enjoy the sun! Here's remains next week fresh and wet.

After the last week was quite busy, had taken over on Thursday a little slack feeling wide at me, that my training a little spoils. Not that I would have trained a lot less, I had only not as much pressure and fun the three disciplines. I type on change in the weather fatigue. Hm, maybe it was a little cold approaching? After I had it yesterday (Saturday) took time off and visited with Mary's adorable nieces a farm-Fest (including Öko-Pommes/Majo and sensational cake stands) near Lübeck, I felt already better.

so good that I really felt like extensive cycling. However, continuous rain has vermiest's me. So was once again roll it. Why do you have the equipment for? And, for some time since I sometimes look into triathlon magazine and there was that short, intense intervals embedded in a relatively relaxed unit quite what to bring, I have the following roles I plan considered and implemented. An hour role and every ten minutes two minutes really drool-full steam. WOW was that exhausting! With music on the ear I must have geschnauft so loud and groaned that after half an hour, Maria entered the room to ask if everything was in order. Sorry you had heard sounds. I was unable to say, 'I'm still struggling for breath after an intense interval unit. Sometimes I think the little girl thinks I'm crazy. Very well. After an hour I was really glad it was over and I'm still on a loose Maria hours accompanied to work.

The week in numbers:

Monday: 3:20 hours wheel, 109 km
Tuesday: Swim 2600 meters including intervals (10 x 100m)
Wednesday: Swim 2600 meters including intervals
Wednesday: 2:07 hours run, 26 kilometers
Thursday: 0:59 hours running, 11 kilometers
Friday: Swim 2600 meters, including intervals
Friday: 1:09 hours running, 13 kilometers
Saturday: free
Sunday: 1:00 hour roll, 5 x 2 minute intervals
Sunday: 1:00 hour run, 11 kilometers

weeks Total: 12:29 hours

next week! Sunny greetings from the rainy, cold Hamburg.
Pa'a!
Martin


Well, it's raining in Hamburg. Had he come along even better. They have also been at the front desk asked, "Does Martin come?" Which I unfortunately "had to answer no." Well yes He has just issue levy and the old theme of job's a job and snapper snapper. It's just, is actually only one.

But the home still is such a lousy weather, which of course does not fit in really preparation. But the boy's still hard. About twelve hours but now it can be really impressive.

And briefly to Vienna-Martin. I wish I had done a contest before the Ironman - a short, or a sprint. Just to inject himself mentally. But has somehow never fit in in the professional and everyday things. It's just, we are not professionals. A half-Ironman, I must not have previously. Why? Physically, I'm preparing even with training prior to the race. But - as I always say - everyone how he likes it. We go there sometimes containing other ways - like last year. And it worked!

So, a bit of what occurred to me again. Let's have a short in the somewhat unsightly Things begin. Anna and I have that is a little suspect. And yes indeed are currently not too many triathletes / cyclists on the island. And somehow greet here all cyclists clearly right. And then we met a triathlete - and not saluted. We conclude: Can it be that our own people are, greet the never or almost never? Can it be that because everyone always says that he is the greatest and if so, should it please the others who are not as great as you greet yourself first! I almost think this is so. I think really slowly, that the people of the triathletes at the beginning of pioneers and trailblazers who were happy and waved wildly when They met a kindred spirit, formed into a self-centered, arrogant slightly undulating ground, has in is anyone could be next. Everyone is the best thing, even if he did either in terms of performance has nothing on it (which is not at all bad!) Or is (much worse) under-exposed total social hygiene.
I think for my part, here at the moment totally beautiful. Seems to me a recreational rider (which I am also) with NEM mountain bike meet, I greet. If a cyclist myself (any kind) receive, greet me too. And greet all back. I'm already excited to see how it works soon again on the bank.

subject changes. Now I'm here all alone - alone, so to speak. But even in the last week, when Anna was here, I ran to every corner of the island memories of the way:
A little island just for you, Dirk!

I was sitting with Anna at one of the seafood restaurants in El Golfo and immediately had to think about how I've been sitting there just over a year with Dirk. It was an active rest day and we sat there, two rolls cozy. And then it was still delicious! And the sea just 20 meters. Herrlich. My friend, I would like you had it again.
And then I have at the same spot where I had Dirk then photographed, This time Anna photographed. If you wonder what place I mean, then you have times in Lanzarote blog look in January. Since Dirk would be seen standing in the pedals, and behind him only the sky and the sea.

Thomas also has a piece of land here

nearly every street corner last week, I had to think of Thomas, because with him I had driven most of the tours. So we drove up the steep side Femes high - what a Ackerei! And in the evening we often played billiards. Also a great memory. And of course I think our attempt to drive 200 miles, but we have just started too late, so we give up because of absolute darkness at 196 km had. Also help, there are still a photo blog Lanza! Even you with Thomas, I would like to be here again cycled. I will also run up a while longer hold

And when I think I had Martin the Mirador del Rio -

Martins piece Lanzarote. Since I have indeed set at the steepest point an attack, and I am Martin and Thomas drove away. No, that was just a joke. Not the situation, but that this was the only reminder. Rather, namely I remember, as Martin Thomas is a half hour later and I drove away. Shortly after he pressed Arrieta so the pedals that we came along anymore. Zack, he was gone - and was never to night in the pizzeria seen! And again the same: you I could really use this as a training partner.

And a piece by Anna!

With Anna I had in the past week to create the first quasi-memories, for she was not at that time was with the training camp in Lanzarote. And so they got to the island only now know them. In the race the Ironman that is, yes, things fly around on a pass, and the week before the race she had been ill and could not open the island by bicycle.

And so it was incredibly interesting, as you noticed now that each corner, then only in vague passing, again attracted attention and brought her back to the race. All of a sudden she could remember thinking, high emotions, but also pain and doubt very well again. And I think this time has her Lanzarote was great fun. This is certainly also the fact that we have this time considered the island very well. We have been in many museums, caves and houses Cesar Manrique, who visited and admired! Unbelievable what this man has done here and for the island. Very very impressive!
And we went and roads that we guys have never driven before. No lie. And I hope that you all come again here to you the island, the location of your great adventure, your great success (!) Again to see exactly, and to experience incredibly beautiful memories. I tell you, it is as would be from a wonderful movie if you come back here.

Fight for your target!

And of course there are a few signatures, all the other athletes, thousands of triathletes and cyclists, remember you. And many will wonder, what does Pa'a, and who are these four people whose names appear on such a large and distinct letters in the Asphalt are written, as no other.
At this point I would like to send greetings to mad love Nadine and Dirk, without which there had not been for this grain enhancement. Did the three of us a fun that night! Even if you no longer read this blog regularly, I hope that this reaches you somehow embrace greeting.

This is my photo! A personal review on something cool, what we've done together!

Well, folks, you already notice what is happening here with the miller. It's just that we will leave this experience from last year never again. Sometimes It is still inexplicable to me how all of us - have done all that I have served them on their own request, - and in particular the four. But still there is still such that you can handle such a task. And do better with training, purified, so not too much fuss when a loud WST, GAI, II and I know what.

the way, there is, in my view, very nice news: First of all you can in the next spring training tours descendants here in Lanzarote. After I finished a race bike-guide about the island. This is also the reason why Anna and I go for 90 kilometers of well seven hours were.
Second, if all goes well you can also next spring to get our project as a book. That is however not only our history but the whole package enriched with plans and nutrition and so on. As it were, to follow suit. What do you think of the idea?

Juut, where to go - stop to make first light - so now: Oh, I knew that most thoughts are gone. And, we've already written a lot.

then so might be my week: Well, really many miles I'm with Anna, as explained above, yes, not down. And running is not degenerate. Swimming? Well, what do you think? But first things first:

Monday morning at 8 I actually clock in the pool. Swimming here is the way, really great. I do not know how they do it, but the water is almost non-chlorinated and while I'm at home after a swimming unit all day problems with a dripping nose, is here like to complain at all. Booyah! Sun 2500m am I then paddled. And this is also a kind of pun, because I wanted on paddles, with which I have been swimming five times einzundert meters. For about 18 years I have those things already, but now I have "had" to write. For after the unit I had them lie on the block. Despite repeated requests, no, No one has found them. Or no one has made. Has anyone found them, otherwise they would have later located there, where I had forgotten them. Somewhere in Europe so soon someone swimming with my yellow paddles. It says even "mm" on it. If you see her, she grabs you - and beat up this boy to the Finder.

the afternoon with Anna to El Golfo. Of course, it was during the round and a nice grilled sea bream and sardine - I have to say yes to tender to potential readers and recommendations can!
Tuesday morning, the episode with the half marathon. Well, I've already described. So that was really ne Number. As you think of nothing wrong, and suddenly: Time-chip, start signal, and Los.

Anna for the second time in her life on the road to the Mirador del Rio - in the background La Grocia

The next day we went to the Mirador del Rio high. And finally, I was once in the cafe there. So beautiful. Even a work Manrique. Wow. A day later, we then indulged in the total cultural program - all, mind you during a bike ride. First, we have looked at the museum at the Monumento al Campesino. Then on to the Fundacion Cesar Manrique - a dream! And then even further to the Jameos del Agua, also made by Cesar Manrique - Fantastic. After all, has 96 kilometers are met. And the evening rapidly to a thousand and a little bit into the water.

On Friday, we are then cycled to Puerto Calero. Anna was not so much on it, and so we leave it at 60 kilometers. It does also give shorter laps in a racing driver. Logical.
We still have the Cueva de los Verdes inveigled. The time has staged Jesus Soto. Also very impressive!
was for an evening Schwimmeinheitchen but of course still room.

And Saturday was for Anna already travel day. She would like to Famara in the sea, and so I went down there - very quickly - and then all off in the water. gone from 17 clock, Anna was already then came the great loneliness. I then out of sheer frustration into the pool and swam 3000 meters at a stretch. This had two sides. One of the best, after all, I'm already 4 years no longer swam so far, and it was actually pretty good. Even though I was tired towards the end, so I know that I do on 5 July would create.
The other side: It was fairly slow. 54'27 minutes I needed it. That would be a 3.8, he time of around 1:10 hours. And so I get my dream 9:30 he actually been a forgotten vinous. Because for that run everything great. And that would mean a 1:02 or so. And that - so much can be already said - just be nothing. Well, it's not like a doomsday.

And then came the present day. Old Swede. I desperately needed a few photos where more than one in cycling (Anna or I, respectively) can be seen on it, so I joined a group. It all kicked off at 9:30 clock, and after 2:35 hours and 79 kilometers we were back here. This is a 30-section, which at 1060 meters (Tinajo, Femes, Mountains of Fire) is not so bad.
I then briefly into the room, have the unit listed, eat a sandwich and three glasses of Coke, and off they went again. There was still time. And then I was still a route description of the Lasanta guys fallen into the hands since the 119er round with almost 2000 meters above sea level proposed. "Oh, why not," I thought to myself and I just go. Well, I've been on de first 80 angeknockt very nice because in the round, some mountain sprints and other performance tips have been included in it.

the spirit of the book - and two flyers - always

So: first in Teguise even sipped a Coke. Then up to the Mirador de Haria and Tabayesco down to Arrieta. There, directly back up towards Haria and Mirador del Rio. Even there, I realized that it would be difficult today. I did nothing, other than to focus myself and now and then with a low gear to make do. At the Mirador del Rio, I was already powerful enough, but not in the sense of the word. So pure and bolt down to Arrieta. There I sacked the gas station. Martin and Thomas know the drill all too well. A liter of cola, a liter of water, a baguette, cheese and cooked ham. The tasted.

Hamm Ster purchase at the gas station in Arrieta

tolerable is that I had to re-direct 300 meters turn Tabeyesco where we went 550 meters over 10 kilometers to the top. Ugh-Ugh! Once at the top did, however, widely thought even the first triumph. Now I could not keep up. At home, I stood with a total of 202 kilometers, (Note) 3120 meters! Well, swimming I'm not gone. I thought after 7:25 hours in the saddle is no longer necessary.

Here's my week:

Monday: 2500 meter swim
Monday: 3:10 hours wheel, 80 miles, average 24 (just so the info) 950 HM
Tuesday: 25 kilometers of running, including: Half Marathon: 1:35
hours Tuesday: Swim 2000 meters
Wednesday: 4:10 hours cycling, 102 miles, 1400 HM
Wednesday: 30 minutes walking, 5 km
Thursday: 3:51 hours wheel, 96 miles, 1100 HM
Thursday: 1500 meter swim
Friday: 2:50 hours Bike, 60 km, 800 HM
Friday: Swim 2300 meters
Saturday: 54 minutes of running, 11 kilometers
Saturday: 3000 meter swim
Sunday: 7:25 hours cycling, 202 miles, 3120 HM

makes the total: 11 300
meter swimming
41 km 540 km bike running

hours: 28.5

So, now I have written here already two hours. I hope this is something entertaining.

Had you well and keep your fingers crossed that I was here a little hammer out. A billiards partner, I will probably not find it. Care.

Going South

Good people,

I know I'm late, but if you were in my place, then you would you also find it difficult to set up a blog. For, while Anna is now at the pool, and I would love to lie on the bed to relax, I sit here now and actually type. And, you can turn it and you would like to contact us, not under very simple conditions.

As you all know, I'm sitting in Lanzarote. However, this is by no means a holiday, but rather to work comfortably. So I drove, in fact, within the last three days just 150 kilometers of cycling. Sad but true. Why?

Well, as already mentioned, first and foremost I am here to work. I am a kind of travel guide write about the island, and for that I need to create accurate course maps and photos. It looks like that Anna and I for yesterday's El Golfo-round, which is 74 km long, six and a half hours were on the road. Madness. And the day before that we needed for a round 86s also over six hours. Phew. And yet I would not complain. Only then it is sometimes difficult to stop but to sit down and blog. This is the only explanation.

----
love people, I have enormous problems to sell my blog. So I can currently receive mail and do not know whether Martin has written (which it did determine - Martin, please click web.de Networks). So it must first go on like this: ------


Yeah, that looks very much as if he could train in Hamburg more than I do here on the island. Well, as I always say, "Everyone as he can," and with me it is just still not quite round. Let's see, toss and let it just take a look at the past week:

On Monday, I had, as so often lately, once again my Martinsche Release-of-special-Art. I run there for an hour at his Long run. Oh you know I always tell this, and surely you believe me not at all. But you should experience the real times. Who runs as if the anything. It looks good and loose, it feels - after his sentiment - good and loose, so that's really impressive. After all, am I ever glad I fast once a week, at least for an hour'm on the road.

On Tuesday I went swimming only - after all. Because I actually had to work in the days before my departure so much that I do every night until twelve or one at the desk was sitting. I absolutely wanted to deliver two orders on time, even if it was discussed with the client know that it would be delayed to mid-June. But Müller, Müller. And in the end it was really like in sports. Target sighted, focused, concentrated and from it.

Among suffered the training course, but as they say, job's a job and place for everything. And without bread on the table, there's also no triathlon. It's that simple, since you are almost all professional activities so, you know what I mean anyway.

From El Golfo back up towards fire mountains

On Wednesday evening, I then completed my long run. I did anyway hurt the back part of the desk chair so that 2.15 hours were doing really well. And it was also really good. Together with Dirk Norman and I ran to the lake, and when it was faster in the meantime time, and Norman issues identified in short - even though he himself will always fitter (with the best regards!) - I only said "it runs, let's go." Yes, somehow was quite decent. On Thursday I saw the opportunity for a Technical Working intermediate sprint, and after about 14 hours a desk I had my target is a good deal closer.

went with nothing but training. And on Friday, only 2,000 meters were swimming in it. But - I had both jobs completed and submitted. Went up but broad satisfaction. And fatigue. So I had no desire to run on Saturday before leaving.
Martin brought Anna and me to the airport then (Thank you, thank you!). Somehow a cool thing, if you thought about how often we in the past two years with the wheel to the aircraft are, sometimes one and then another, then all together, and again, and so on and so forth. Beautiful.

arrived in Lanzarote, we then have a car made clear. And then - go there instead, in the Club La Santa - we went for the first time to eat well in Tinajo. Herrlich. Sun to 22 clock we went quietly to the club and then the first time sleep was very big on the plan.

Anna screw all in and on Basso with Club La Santa in the background

Sunday the wheels. Human, since whatever time goes by. Jesse! And then it was finally time. First round of Soo, Famara, Teguise, Haria, Tabayesco, Teguise, Famara, Soo, Club La Santa. Actually a great thing, but we described above, we needed more than six hours. Again and again descend, take pictures to rise, and continue, "Look there, that's beautiful," descend, ascend make photos, "the man is hot," continue, "And this? Should not we also photographed? Descend, "and so on.

had then descend Anna Tabayesco behind a plate, take a photo, pump, pump, pump, "Why take no real floor pump with the backpack? "to pump more," That must be enough but now! "," Does not matter, I have no desire "to rise and continue. And then left to the forces in Anna. But we were able to catch it again. And after 86 kilometers and an altitude of 1300 meters, we were back in the club. say

Anna in El Golfo (at this point a nice greeting to all Pa'a's!)

Now you have that at least the first three days here on the island quite different from I got to know the island so far. The wind is still the total within limits, but It is crazy hot. And that can also make a pretty mellow. I have myself so no big problem, but Anna was struggling quite a bit.

What has already made me more problems in the first days, the backpack with the complete photo gear on my back. It contains a digital SLR camera and three lenses, one of them a giant tube of a 100-400. And then about six hours to move to the back, is that even without. The extent that - You know it already: relegated again and again, take pictures, climb, drive on, "Look there, that's fine," descend, take backpack (6-7 pounds) down, take pictures, pack up everything again, create backpack again, rise up, "Man is the hot" continue, "And this? Should not we also photographed? "Descend, take backpack down, take pictures, pack everything again, create backpack and so on.

Nevertheless I'm gone after the first tour or a quick hour. Three times around the lagoon and the drops were sucked. And what that does now for the past week?

Monday: 1:05 hours run, 12 kilometers
Tuesday: 2:15 hours to run, around 26 kilometers
Thursday:: 3100 meter swim
Wednesday No sports
Friday: 2000 meter swim
Saturday: fly pack; land, unpack
Sunday: 3:36 hours bike, 86 kilometers #
Sunday: run for 1 hour, 11 kilometers

Overall: Just so no 10 hours. Well, it must and I can live.

So, now I do not know exactly when I blog again, it is on Monday to be Thursday, maybe even more. Therefore, we are the weekly rhythm of times here - setting off at least from my side, but only insofar as I write today what else happened.

On Monday morning I'm actually out and swam 2500 meters. Neo is needed here, the 50-meter pool is really good warm. Subsequently, with Anna on the chest and the top, as mentioned earlier El Golfo-lap. 80 km in just under seven hours - with the pure driving time was 3:30 hours. That's how it can.

morning then a funny story. This is indeed a club. And where a club is as common program is not far. Normally I'm not the animation freak, but when Anna and I on Tuesday morning at 7:45 clock in the program discovered a half-marathon, I thought that I could bring forward the long run so quietly on Tuesday, Wednesday I would have ran at least not alone.

So I this morning at 7:45 clock to the stadium, where four other guys were. And then two girls came from the Green team, how the troops of the house here calls, and distributed time-chip. Time chips!! Hello?! I wanted to make a breakfast run and a race! Totally confused, I stood there and did not know what to do. A German-speaking tourists whispered to me courage. That was not all that bad, he said, but I could only just run my training pace. Sure, I'm quite simple - but why the hell he did not run with it?

Well, at 8:05 clock five runners took on a starting line (!) Behind the club space, and a green lady said the three well-known word, that is, by the last "go". And off we went.

And once again El Golfo because it is so beautiful

lead was a guy in a red dress. People I know of, and watched figure, posture and clothing definitely like he could have run away from 10 or 15 years of the marathon in under 2:30 hours. He was followed by a strong British, then the Dane Claus, then I, and me behind a fully-equipped with technology no-idea-what. The British had Klaus and I quickly, which implements that I now ran to Klaus page. After the first flat seven kilometers, we went behind the La Santa powerful uphill, and the sun was already down on us. Seriously, I could have bet that I can in the Tempo (Klaus said the first kilometer was 4:30 minutes fast) by holding less than 10 kilometers. But somehow it was different. At kilometer ten o'clock it became increasingly more that I would not be the weak point in our duo. I wanted to run away or might not. While it was all much faster than I had planned, but now I had to not make or break to give everything. I stayed with Klaus, and I felt good. The route which the Greens have chosen for the half marathon, is also a little perverse, though I can not name the exact altitude. After 1:35 hours we were definitely in the target. Klaus second, I third. 1:35 hours? "So if the track times not was too short, "I said to myself. And because I had no rest, I drove the whole mess again from Anna, car and GPS device. Score: 21.1 miles.

What can I say, that was quite a run that has encouraged me. There was room for improvement, and preparation, food, topography and distance adjustment was only a sub-optimal. The rest of the day I took so freely - from the sport. But not on research, research, research, and from blogging - we you see.

In this sense. Best wishes from the island.
