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
