Doing triathlons is hard. Because swimming in a crowd getting punched in the face is hard. Because riding a bicycle for extended amounts of time sitting on your crotch is hard. Because running long distances after spending long hours swimming and biking is hard. Not pooping your pants is hard. Figuring out what gear works…
Time to make plans for next year! Actually I´ve already completed like 70% of my plans but haven´t written about them because I don´t know. Probably because didn’t´t feel like writing. My laptop sucks and I´ve been traveling a fair bit and overall had the “no-one cares anyway”-blues. Then I relized how much writing stuff…
It has been a while since I last posted here. honestly I just didn’t feel like and I didn’t want to ruin my feeling of non (or little) structure off-season by sticking to a rigid reporting scheme. And frankly not too much has happened since my last post when it came to triathlon. Instead of…
Last week has been excellent! The boys and I went to run the Bremen half marathon yesterday and all week revolved around staying sharp and being in form. At least within reason. I still consider this my off season so I didn’t beat myself up too much for a beer or two in the evenings…
I have been thinking for a while if there would be something – anything! – that I could write about that people might actually be interested in. Then I thought about what I like and what I am actually good at (spoiler: not much!), but eventually it all fell into place. Each triathlon race produces…
This week was all about sharpening up for our half marathon on next Sunday. I´ve signed up for this run with my two mates and am really excited about it. Over the season we don´t get to do much together – one is an ultra-runner, another a fast marathon runner and myself a triathlete, so…
You know by now that I´ve been severely struck by a triathlon addiction. Maybe it is not an addiction, but a very strong passion for the sport at least. Unfortunately the tri season is frustratingly short and so I found myself by the mid of August without anything to do until next year. I was…
Time to pick up the weekly log again, because there´s work to be done and great many things to be written about. I am currently sitting in between the seasons – my triathlon-season is over, but it is not really off-season yet. For the next 6 weeks I’ve signed up for a half marathon, a…
After an acceptable start into the world of middle distance triathlon last year I was wondering what my next goals should be. I´ve never considered myself a hardcore Type A athlete, but I still like to see how much I´ve got and how far I can push myself. You could say I´m highly competitive but…
I had been slacking on my training diary. After my big 70.3 premiere I didn’t feel too much like writing and neither did I think I had much to share or to write down for later generations. This has changed, I´d like to do some more writing – and I have begun to plan the…
