isser Good people,
a warm hello and back from the summer break. Man, that was a long Time, and I do not know where to start. Weaned, but also empty and full again (he ideas), untrained, posted (by street festival in my hometown last weekend), tired (because far too early to offer you today can püntlich reading material) and greasy.
Porky? (Here you are asked to the scratching of an old record player needle to introduce a disk)
Jepp greasy. About a three kg I've been angefuttert Klagenfurt. Countless CPMs (you know, Currywurst-Pommes Majo), some soft drinks and very little movement have left their mark. Anna says though, it would look more still good, but You know how blind love can do. No, my mirror does not lie in the apartment.
And the bad thing is that probably a bit more on it's because I'm going to spend five days in early October with my best Bodies in Southern holidays. Oh dear.
But until then I can try a little prefabricate. First came the finger training this morning. These find their way on the keyboard is not as safe as it was two months, which will also be changing soon.
As I sit here at my desk, my back hurts. Well, even the traces of the Old Town Festival in Hückeswagen, where I have two complete Days with Anna behind their stand (well that sounds so nice to).
is actually standing double murder on my back operated on the body. Also a warning sign for me, now make a return to more movement.
So, here press the big reset button and go:
First I would like - though late - thanks for your comments. Although it is probably a kind of misunderstanding was present. My return to this blog was not dependent on the number 100. Rather, this was only a reference point out how much I would be happy if there are so many comments would become. In fact, I had words with the Pink Panther (Today is not every day, I'll be back no questions) already announced that I would write again. The beauty
however, is that I myself have only counted about 20 comments, but ultimately it has become around 50. This gives me a good feeling and I thank you.
Moreover Maik was right when he said that already the first comments but I really should be enough motivation to continue writing. It was in the did so.

- Eveline and Nestler, that comment has touched me, and when it is read again, I had tears in my eyes because I said the situation suddenly shot back to mind and I could feel the pain again. Dear Evelyn, let you to say, 4-5 miles almost every morning, more than most of us do regularly (at least I do not), and relates to what your half-marathon, I believe that each pace is right. It may just not be any the fastest. In fact, even only one!
- all those who I may have forgotten.
Juut, back to the present and in the future. This is the first step toward new horizons. More precisely, to those of Lake Monona, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
Last night, the Prince Rainer, Maik (formerly Reinbek-Maik) and my alter ego filed via the Internet to Ironman Wisconsin.
people, that was a commotion. First, we did not all three, as is now exactly with the time change. When we were safe then, first fought on their own. At least the Prince gets to me still small ne attrition (no, not really), because (in total sign-rush fever) - unlike me - not just rang through to give notice that registration is now open. (Bursche!!)
But then everything went his way. At least it seemed. Because suddenly I was on my Mac no longer continue. Mist, precious minutes passed, and I saw a thousand other triathletes in the application virtual rush past me. So I over to Anna's computer. She has, however, an entirely different order on the desktop, and so turned a gray hair on my head estimated 135 687 - in seconds. At the same time had both the Prince and Anna (who had previously cut me on the phone) discovered her desire to make phone calls again, and it rang on all lines. "Now I have no desire and need to concentrate," I thought, and battled with the Circumstances, because - probably it was the browser - I came to Anna's Mac from here.
Suddenly, the next hurdle: the topic of "security-telephone-number" the Internet form on strike again. Thank God then called Enrique, who - as employees in Maik's Multimediacs company - had to file his boss, because the turn was indispensable to a fair (you have noted, here was some back and forth!). Enrique then had an appropriate number for me.
The next shock came at the same time, however: this time the system did not want my Mastercard information. The Americans are dependent on visas. But why should I pay for it. After all - respect, Note - after the error message, I had to fill the whole form all over again. Re-estimated 135 687 hairs make me look older.
The upshot: Enrique mine has just given Maik's credit card data. Cool, that may otherwise have intended Maik Anke!
In any case: The Prince, Maik and I will - as all normal and good runs - on 12 September 2010 by 7 clock in the morning in Madison in the Lake Monona jump. Is that cool ?!!!!
Funny, even this morning I thought "crap, now I have to train again," but as I write this, I'm looking forward.
Wisconsin is expected in about (not quite) be as heavy as the Ironman Lanzarote. This can be foreseeable to the winning times. Something to 8:43 hours there all-time best.
This is - at least for me - just the thing. I want to achieve that is with the launch overseas, that I take the whole thing a little looser than before. The link with vacation, discovering a new area, and beyond that knowledge, that this race can not be made less than 10 hours of me does, just prior to the pinched look at the clock. It should simply be a nice race.
And a good preparation. The road will be the aim. I had told you once before a few weeks ago with the words of the extreme climber
Thomas Bubendorfer who thinks that goals can only be milestones on the road.
Even more, however, I would like you my dear friend
Bernt Lüchtenborg (57) put his heart, who just twice, and sailing alone nonstop around the world. And even with the prevailing westerly winds in the southern hemisphere and once against it. The whole company it is - so everything works - cost one and a half years. Bernt's a great person, and I'm always blown away when I read, what and how this big, strong guy writes.
A few days ago as he sent in his brief daily reports the following thoughts:
If you can distribute his weeks on the ocean, the atomized time between the fingers. Lose the day her name, one encounters in the mirror of the lake and feels fortunate to be in motion. I will not arrive in life, feel good on the road. No matter how far might be the way or how hard. For months, over oceans of time. Only with the wind as the engine and a goal that can not identify so much as a place, but with the way there.
people, this is it. Keep moving! And not only the physical is meant. Let us all keep moving to new things, break up every day to keep the bulb on the go, be open to change. As Bernt, who took leave from once a successful contractor-life, though only because his doctor with him mid-40s only five years of age admitted, if he would continue to be a workaholic.
If you click the image size, and you will find below the complete on-board camera, the Pa'a!
Oh one more thing: I do not know if you all have noticed that. But has fueled Pa'a, the word that I carry around with me for so long, and what our Lanzarote project so much - the sails now with Bernt around the world. I feel deeply honored by. For a man of his size could have better things to do than the favorite word of a dinky triathletes to take with you on a journey. Or not? In fact, I hope
that Pa'a Bernt motivated, just as it motivates you and me desöfteren already. Wait and see!
Do you know was: What would be a surprise Bernt if you send an email to board? That would be fantastic!
Only You have to note the following. As his email traffic (currently he is somewhere, 1,000 miles away from Cape Town) via satellite is running (which is very expensive!) No pictures or other attachments sent with.
So just a few sentences to love dj5069@sailmail.com
Just tell him that we admire his endurance athlete endurance and courage. Or something else - with love Pa'a greetings.
Oh, please! That would be nice!!
Juut, I could Write a lot. But on the other hand, I've again soon lined lot of time and opportunities, one or two thoughts here.
sure And I will again speak about slipstreaming and other things.
Aaahhh, almost forgot. I would soon be here to make a few other things. Have some ideas, and work even violently to it. But still need a good two weeks. Would you send me a few things that you participate in this thing here?
What I need to make here are the more interesting (see last blog entry):
first Short Race Reports of your race in the past or next week. To remain at about the line, we speak first of all for 4 to 6,000 characters (including spaces).
second Categorization of race:
- swim
- Bike Course
- Running Track
- atmosphere
- Organization / Food during and after the race
At any point please do not more than two sentences, and then up to five stars!
The categories then the overall results stars . Add
So again: five individual categories, and a total.
third Who has photos from past years, can smile at you. So with Scott downhill handlebars and pink clothes. Also current Schmunzelfotos are warmly. Please supply a short caption. So, year, place and possibly Superb technical equipment. See my photos in my previous post.
letters and pictures please contact you@pa-a.de
It was important that not to be forgotten!
Well, by training, I can not tell much now. There are then more next week when I hopefully do one or the other calories to the Elbe.
Otherwise, I would say that we remain first in the weekly cycle, so Tuesday should be the new blog on the net.
is left for me today to say is that it would be great, as you well back in touch! Haha, no, not a must - only it would be another amazing Chill.
I remain - as always - with best wishes!
Your mathias
