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)

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

Sincerely, Your mathias
