2010 is probably one of my most ambitious athletic years. With 50 years I ran the first Ironman Long (Hawaii distance) 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling and 42.2 km run: non-stop, without break from swim start to the marathon finish.
Actually, everything began 4 years ago. As I have always been my ambition to existing sport back regularly followed her, and began jogging.
increased the weekly workload running in and it was there ....... the feeling that lies well in every child, however, lose many adults: pleasure of movement and freedom. Soon I felt the body and mind were much stronger, my performance featured authentic and moving to challenges at work and sports. The running of vitality, the marathon as a measure of his abilities. And then?
Compensation, even biking. Biking is pure fun. Combined endurance training and technology. Trained response and balance. Pure fun, pure nature. And yet what was missing ........, Right, now inevitably the thought came to triathlon, and before I started the swim training, it was already there, the Triathlon tickets, pure, driving pleasure, what a difference on the bike, two worlds, unbelievable.
caught in the fascination of this sport you can feel that the swimming discipline to one very simple, even if it never returns to me this sense of movement and freedom. Yes That's right, I move like a peg in the water. But it's still fun ;-)
Now the year 2009 goes to an end, and I can look back to 15 races, I have many new friends. Friends who share the same ambitions for the sport. Friends will be with me to 2010. Friends who know how "to anspürt an Ironman."
