A new series coming up – Go run this town!
•
I’m still aimlessly meandering around. I have yet to decide on my next big project for the 2019 season. Until then I sort of wanna work out for fun, but in practice I hardly work out at all. Terribly stressful work and plenty of overtime provide ample excuses for hitting…

In Between Seasons – Improving My Biking
•
For a while now I’ve been feeling kinda stuck between seasons. My 2018 racing season is pretty much over, but it’ll be quite a while before I can properly kick off the next season. I haven’t decided on my race schedule and ambitions for 2019 yet, but unless I’ll do…

Triathlon, Sport of the wealthy
•
Contrary to large parts of the rest of the civilized world and Australia, Golf still has a whiff of old fart about it in Germany. It is perceived as expensive, boring and the first address for snobbery and sudo-exclusivity. You hardly see young(-ish) people on the course and never anyone…

Check In – Final 3

Check In – Final 4 & Roth 2018
•
The air is getting thinner, lads! Only 4 weeks to go, things are now getting properly scary. Last week wasn’t anything special, it was supposed to be a final rest week and I had a 3 day business trip to Bucharest which didn’t help with training. Actually, it helped kind…

Check In – Final 5
•
Here we are 5 weeks out! I’ve had an okay week recently, not doing quite as much as I was hoping for because of terrible weather. Went for a long-ish ride yesterday and aimed at 4.5 to 5 hours, but in heavy wind and rain I called it a day…

Check In – Final 6
•
Here we are less than six weeks from the big day. Time to check where I’m at and start planning for the big day. Overall I am feeling okay and sort of confident. I’ve lost 1.5 kg since I started the program and don’t have any serious injuries. It is…

Recap Week 51
•
Training Diary Week 51/2017. A week in the name of recovery. I completed my Sweet Spot Base 1 plan. The workouts last week were all low intensity steady state recovery rides and I swapped the road for the TT bike. That taught me two things: My aero position was too…
