sweet home Bavaria...- where the skies are so blue & white

Time came, time went by and me? Still there? Still there. Having found a true home in Germany in the South, Bavaria, especially Frankonia ist ideal for endurance sports. Having left all that business behind it is time to get busy in affairs of triathlon, is it? Like so many retired. To find fun in hobby? Well, all I can say is that I am a triathlete.




Here you can go running in summer and skiing in winter.


Like mentioned on top-managers pages, Kai Baumgrtner and Felix Walchshöfer, that time, and not yet mentioned on here especially in accordance to last blog-entry one might add a fifth point, yes?

5. Triathlon entrümpelt has Gehirn von den Alltagssorgen und den Gedanken monitärer Monster.

Monitarian monsters had been the epression 12 yrs ago on those sites, to fully get rif of those mills of moneymaking, ironically IRONMAN and CHALLENGE started to eat each other up by each other. As of prestige and of course, money. And that did torpedate our sports.Finally, me, I reregistered in the club of my youth, when I was young ran cross-country, both summer and winter withs ski, became Bavarian champion in compensatory sport (table-rennis, 1989) was good in track and fields, esp. long- and high-jump and shot put. But now, no need to be part of professional team anymore. And to train, feel, and behave like PROs anymore. Having been 5times at German Mastery (3x lauded by the local officals, major, representativs), 1x in Frankfurt and 1x in Nice (having a local reputation as a sportsman) there is nothing more to archieve than to get fun? As a hobby. No need to train that military wonderboys by the means of superiority, unbreakability and uncompromising dedication to task.  Now, as an amatuer I feel free to do what I want and yes, sport makes fun again. Amatuer come from Latin amare (to love in EN) and this is exactly what trithlon was contructed for. I mean, for what the hell one goes uphill a mountain? To breack speed record? Or to be on the top? And for what someone does do ironman-triathlon? To be the fastest or to cross the finish line? 

Actually it wasn't USAF that motivated me to compete in OSTSEEMAN and ISRAMAN. Is was all that money business in both IRONMAN and CHALLANGE - now- retired from that all I can speak out freely - that made me LMA all of you crosswise and spiral-shaped. And I let USAF believe. Actually I just wanted to support a smaller triathlon-event not hooked to that processes of exploiting the athlethes by being sold stupid. Sure, one can feel flair of Nice and magic of Challenge Roth, a dream of a lifetime, but expensive, 20.000 bucks a year. For that money, Maledives, Bali, Mauritius and Seychelles and even Tahiti are waving hands for hello and welcome. It is not money that drives men to become an IRONMAN. It is prestige and money is only a means to get? We will see how it comes. Maybe retro is be trendy? Anyway a 10-12000 bucks time-trial bike becomes profitable in races if fast than 36 km/h the 180,2 k in affairs of areodynamics. Actually the IZALCO CHRONO by Walser released 2009 was the end of the ladder of that development. Then my invention came in (see NOV 2014 und below), shame on me, and now bikes of tod look more like bikes for handicpped with all that geeks and electronics in. 

Valid for both amateurs and professionals: you can walk? Yeah? So then why you don't buy wheel-chair?? Because then you ougth to faster or save power. 

Really, go home. All of you. As the inventor and initiater of that kind of evolution in the 2nd and 3rd discipline, really, I orefer to look simple no need for electric, carbon-fibre in shoes like those who have amputation and carbo in artificial legs. What is next? We had own- and foreign-gen doping from 2010 on and those handicapped bikes and shoes since 2015 like this. So now you might cultivated muscle tissue from labor and solar-panels on aerowheels and cap to become cyborg more and more? Once again, despite of my JETNOSE and DRAFTBOX (AEROEND) - concepts are inspired by fighter-jets' shaps, no one of you will ever be fast as lightning? How comes to be fast as?

Remember: all the cosmos is related to equations and Einstein was rather slow. Anyway to make inventions and get patentis like here on that video to counterstrike any critiques from all sides of developers and their stuffs.




For what? To make all those idiots faster? Never again. Ebikes, new Time Trial Bikes and wheel-chairs is enogh idiocy. What is left of men fighting the elements: earth, wind and water, fire, gravity, and being in good balance with Earth, moon, the sun and the stars (surfin')?

So where will you go? Death after? Doom? Hopefully you have expensive electronic devices on all your bikes sockets not far and good gps-signal that moment... - there, exactly there, and not behind computers (like prognosted in 2008 in the world wide web at kai baumgartner => swift zwift free gift? /and this is my last word to this guy) the magic happens.

This season starts slowly, and is dedicated to be slow. And not so in showing off. Or pretending to be or to do so. Continue imitating, buy the stuff you do not need, than you can imitate better? One can imitate, yes, but not fake. Fake people are shit.

launch of my new project: 17000k from Gibraltar to Cape 17 countries transcontinental

 

Hey folks, 

today on here (the internet) time came to introduce and make quick launch a the my new project. Read further if interested, of course, in sponsorships and sharing more n' over, if course. Ty.

The plan is to start 1st of March from Nuremberg by bike, with a 4 season equipment round transcontinental whole of Europe down to the very South (Jbel Toubkal 4167m in Africa, Gibraltar) up to the very top (Northern Cape) and back (within 6-8 months) latestly 31th of October. 

 

START/END: Nuremberg 49° 11' N / 11° 5' O

stage 1: Strassbourgh - Tolle - valley of Loire - Carcassonne - Andorra - Barcelone - Almeria (3000k)

stage 2: Nadar - Morocconian desert - Marrakesh - Atlas - Jbel Toubkal (4167m) - Tanger (2000k)

stage 3: Gibraltar - Nazare, Peniche (surfing) - Santiago de Campostello - Santander (2000k)

stage 4: Plymouth - Cornwall - Wales - Ire - Scotland - Ben Nevis (1345m, hiking) - Hull (2000k)

stage 5: Breyvik - Oslo - Bodo (town of cult. in 2024) - Northern Cap (3000k)

stage 6: Inari - Southern Finland (kajaking) - Helsinki - (2000k)

stage 7: Tartu (town of cult. in 2024) - Balts - Poland - Slowenia - Bad Ischl (3rd and last town of cult. in 2024) (3000k)

sum: 17000k 

17 countries: France (1) - Andorra (2) - Spain (3) - Morocco (4) - Spain - Portugal (5) - Spain - England (6) - Wales (7) - Ire (8) - Scotland (9) - England - Norway (10) - Finland (11) - Estland (12) - Lativa (13) - Lithuania (14) - Poland (15) - Slovakia (16) - Austria (17)

This became really look like of someone on the bike (mtb) could sourround Europe by building bridge in order to include Africa as a continent. Thus, the trip makes moves two continents more closely together. The my original plan was to cycle to Morocco in order to hike up until to the very peek of Toubkal. Then the idea grew and this the plan became born. Meanwhile preperation is done 1 month before launch. Actually I wanted to fly to Barca from Nuremberg, however, bought new equipment during the winter thus a light and warm sleeping-back and a the ultralight most modern sleeping-pad made that change, too. Optional Saint Petersborough is on the list, which depends on visa for the Russian Federation and time. Really, it is far and no need for a hurry, thus 100k a day is the pacing, having had to include days of rest and for action (in climbing, hiking, kajaking & experiencing culture besides of the long rides, 6-7hrs daily, in the saddle).

Thus, the high-lights will be the eight shippings by ferries, sure, the desert before the Atlas mountains in Morocco, Jbel Toubkal (4167m), sure enough surfing at Peniche & watching the surfers at Nazare, Santiago de Campostello for pilgrimage, spotting surfers in Spain again along the Atlantic coastline, next Cornwell, land's end, the castles in Wales, a Guiness or better two pints in Ire, Whisky in Scotland and being in the Northern Highlands, having to inspect Loch Ness, bars and join in karaokee again, Ben Nevis (1345 m), the long way-road up to the Cape, having had visited Bodo before and the Lofoten Islands. Cape after next is a boat-trip on lake of Inari, later on kajaking in Southern Finland I do look forward, too. A lot to do at such an adventure. Having set over form Helsinki to Tallinn a visit of the town of Tartu (Estonia) is on the shedule, maybe Saint Petersborough, too, that is 1000k extra on bike, and finally the long road back through territories far in the East of Europe heading Bratislava and thus the river of Danube with Bad Ischl in the very end, this way I'll have paid all the 3 top towns in culture of Europe a visit elected for this year 2024 by the international authorities.

 

Next weeks are enough time to get fit again by cyling at home. Thank you for your the attendance and in attention, stay tuned & healthy. Have fun as well!
