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.
your mathias
