Photo shoot in snow and rain !!

It's as cold as hell for the shoot !! On Thursday it even snowed, absolutely nothing for sun-drenched triathletes 🙂 Except for Bennie, who is Finnish, for him it seems to be ideal temperatures to do technical exercises and sprint pictures at Rothsee at 0 degrees with shorts and a short running shirt!

Let me tell you, modeling is hard work !! For example, I stood around for about half an hour in the gym with a 20kg barbell on my shoulders, just because the perfect picture wasn't there yet. My shoulders almost fell off 😉

In order to take a performance measurement picture, I was allowed to pant for a quarter of an hour on the treadmill with a breathing mask with a cut of 4 ... and I was afraid that my training would suffer from it ... haha

Hello everybody,

1. If Bennie wasn't so slim, you could almost think he was standing there "Fat and Stupid" ...haha
Stupid for the reason that a few series of pictures and technology will be recorded for our book in the next few days. For this purpose, a photographer from Hamburg comes to us, given the case that Nuremberg does not fall in and be cut off from the outside world by then 😉

But we have to go through that now, even if the weather, in good German, is shitty. In addition to the technical series, a few neo-swimming pictures should also be taken, these can then be made by Bennie :))
At 10 degrees I don't jump into the Rothsee !!

But it always gets funny when we run and cycle through the coniferous forests (because they are still green now) with short camisoles and running shorts 😉

At least I already know in advance that red doesn't suit me at all and accordingly you won't find any such pictures of me in the book ... haha

From December this mysterious work will also be available to buy, with lots of strategies, training plans, tips and tricks on how you can get the most out of training and competition success with your limited time! Of course, there are also a few funny stories and anecdotes from Bennie about his days as a professional and me 🙂

2. When voting Unfortunately for the most beautiful Hawaiian picture I was left behind due to "one" missing voice and took a good 2nd place. Thanks again to everyone who clicked for me !! Was it due to nebulous voting practices 😉 as some thought and wrote to me, I'm honestly overwhelmed.
In any case, I congratulate the winner Thorsten with his cool footprint!

3. Just a few words about the last competitionsOtherwise you think he always announces his friends and acquaintances and then they don't tear anything 😉
Let's not burden the young savages with so much on the still narrow shoulders.

At the Challenge Barcelona Dorian was in a promising third position at running kilometer 5, but then got off at km 25. Now I don't want to dig deeper, but it will probably have been a case of the classic “gamble on the bike and in the first few kilometers”. Which is not that bad, as long as you learn lessons from it and do better next time. It was his first long distance !!

Frank is shortly before Hawaii got sick, the over-gambling here was perhaps in the last few weeks of training before. He then lay around on Kona for a week with a fever and was therefore barely able to eat. The only thing you can't do right before an Ironman!
It started already badly weakened and after a few hours the oven was out!
I know it myself from South Africa, when I ate bad fish two days before the race and only hung it on or over the toilet. After running km 15, someone pulled the plug on me and I could only walk ...

so, that's it for updates 🙂

PS: great Hawaii show on Saturday, until the morning we sat in front of the screen in Bamberg and apart from me almost everyone was asleep when Andreas Raelert came in third. Just great, I have to say, in between I was almost tempted to believe that he would win the thing!
