Mummy Wants You To Wear A Girdle

Finally fastest time again

Yesterday was held the keel-marathon and my girlfriend and I took half the distance before a competition. For Natalie, it was her first long distance run. She is preparing for the Hamburg Marathon this year. She did, inspired by my Ironman last year, look for sometimes a challenge. Very tired and fought bravurös she came 1:56 into the goal. I think that I can hammer out until April ready for the double distance (where sie schon ordentlich Respekt vor den "doppelten" Schmerzen bekommen hat).
Meine Rennen war wahrscheinlich ähnlich hart. Klar, ich habe nicht mehr so mit der Distanz als solches zu kämpfen, aber knallhart war es trotzdem. Die Bedingungen waren nur suboptimal. Zwar der Schnee und das Eis von der Strecke, allerdings zeigte sich jetzt, wieviel Streusand verbraucht wurde. Teilsweise kam es einem vor, als ob man auf Sandboden lief. Temperaturen lagen so bei 4°C und eine steife Brise war auch dabei. Aufgrund der vorherigen Umstände wurde die Strecke leicht verändert. Drei Runde à 7km sollten gelaufen werden und das Profil war ein kleines bisschen schwieriger als sonst. Wobei man nicht vom schweren Terrain sprechen kann.
Ich lief erst once with a group of four together. Front were three runners and then we came. After a round handle on one of my companions. I was the only one who marched. At about 12Kilometern and the head wind section, I then attacked. Now I was alone. Actually felt good at all, but somehow it was still a long way. But now, all I could do more. Full throttle. The second round was generally the fastest. The last round was really hard then. But to my surprise, she was also quite fast. So I ran and came to 26:05-25:50-26:04 1:17:59 finish. Ok, my best time was only 43Sek. improved, but after many years of stagnation that was really a success. I am fully satisfied and would not mind if I could make some minor or major steps forward.
my next plan is now ready. I will this year for the first time be able to fly twice in the sun (if it seems to mind). And my competitions are quite firmly planned. Frankfurt is probably going to just focus my preparation. Not many, but nice competitions are planned for it. When everything is fixed, you will also find it here, of course. But now further to the training.

Can You Sleep In Afaja

Small News

Small annual report after the first few weeks of training. I am now are about 8 weeks in training and I must say that it has changed a lot. The training is structured differently and also has new ways for me ready. After so many years, however, is sometimes nice to get to know new things. Unfortunately, we were certainly, and probably many of you, substantially curtailed by the weather. Although I have met my best training, but now the bike had some losses are made. Whether you have a large impact, it will be seen later.
Three weeks after returning to it was here in Kiel, a small swimming gala . We used this race for a hard swimming weeks to complete it. Na so, what can I say. So the 50m events went well. :-) I'm
3 * 50m distance swim und zum Abschluss die 800m. Da ich allerdings die 800m mit wenig zufriedenstellenden Ergebnis absolviert habe, verschweige ich euch lieber diese Zeit.
Doch diese harte Trainingswoche brachte mich schnell wieder auf ein gutes Level für die weiteren Wochen.
Letztes Wochenende traf sich dann die Bundesligamannschaft vom PSV Eutin um zwei kleine Trainingstage zu absolvieren. Neben Training war es wichtig die Saison zu planen und auch die Mannschaft mehr zusammenzufügen, da wir einige Neuzugänge haben. Und das gelang unheimlich schnell und gut. Diese Truppe ist einfach genial. Nach letztem Jahr war mir schon klar, dass das Mannschaftgefüge, selbst in einer Einzelsportart wie Triathlon , very important. But again these two days have so much fun, and procured a further motivation for the dreary days, that's amazing. Thanks guys ! Now I'll
this weekend here in Kiel again run the half marathon . We planned to see what for even so with me, but the track is still full of mud, snow and some ice, so that a fast time is expected to be unlikely. We still hope for real thaw, or at least one unexploded device .
So you will probably hear from me again soon and until then you a good workout!

Gay Cruising Areas Hawaii

2010 season begin!

Here I am again and I want all of my readers do first a happy and successful 2010. I hope you have good use of the holidays you "to build" the necessary reserves for the long season.
I managed it. :-) But now it's time runterzubekommen that. Many would say that I have not increased, but personally I see it, of course, the most. But on the day my season matured in 2010 and now it is fixed. But after serious consideration of a termination of my "triathlon career," but I am come to the conclusion that I will probably use the last academic year properly. To this end I selected the Ironman Frankfurt. There I would like to once again a really Ironman quick pass and my family an opportunity to cheer me.
More competitions will be followed again in the 2.Bundesliga. But this year again for my home club, the police SV Eutin. After rather a miserable year at USC keel it's back to the roots.
And it has still done something. And perhaps, or certainly even the most important!
I have a new coach. Last year at my request he has rejected, but this year it worked. I will be prepared by Nils Goerke , a long-standing and very successful professional triathletes, the highlight in Frankfurt. I am delighted that it has come about and am curious where I can lead his training. Now it is
come in first again, Winter survive disease-free as possible and then give gas. Finally, Frankfurt is not that far away.
