... and the temperatures have already risen by 3 ° C. :-) Yesterday, it was indeed something fresh and above all, very windy. The water temperature is 17 ° C and the air is at least about 20 ° C with lots of sun.
But I'm not here to write about the weather. ;-) Today I managed to capture not only fotgrafische impressions, but to conduct a short interview with the athlete:
Sven Hello, welcome to Clearwater Beach! How was the journey, or could you acclimate you have and how it is with the jet lag? Well, that arrival. There is always the question of how much easier it would probably be in your own jet? 18 hours from door to door is simply exhausting. At the moment I'm still tired early and wake up early again. Actually quite good for the race day, but until then I will probably continue to the time difference used to have.
standing in the last week before the World Cup, many training sessions on the program? really. But it is already carried away here, because even now distributed throughout the day somewhere, someone always swim, bike, rides or runs. So you have quite a grip in order not to do again and again.
Actually it should go relatively quiet.
What do you like particularly good / bad? But is it too early. At the moment, but I like it here quite well.
You Have an initial assessment with respect to your competitors? Yes, it is probably a some type (which start at 6:45 clock) which are used not only to finish ahead of me anyway, so they start an hour earlier, but are also at their overall time in front of me to be like maybe a few others too ;-)
promise what you need for Saturday? I would like to stay under 5:00 hours. 40 minutes for swimming and the first change, 2:40 for the wheel to the second exchange and 1:39 for the run. But it is probably quite warm ...
Thanks for the interview. We wish you good luck for Saturday! Last night ended with a fun dinner, accompanied by Uli and Bärbel. Then we had the necessary bed gravity. :-)
to the motto "The early bird catches the worm" we got up early because I have not yet overcome the jet lag really. Thus, I accompanied Sven to swimming training. The pictures appear warmer than it actually was. My clothes wrapped achieved thermally its limit, at least in the first days in the morning and evening. Fortunately, the temperatures rising daily.
Sven went up 11 clock with Kai, his training colleagues in Germany on a bike leg. Mrs. B took the time to complete a 10 km to Läufchen on the course, which was offered by Hannes Hawaii team. I can tell you the bridge cross the athletes have twice on Saturday, it really is. The run went very masculine. It was started in 2 groups, which shared quickly. 85% were in the fast group 1 and the remaining 15% were with me in group 2 Some of the runners had not realized that the competition will take place only on Saturday. Finally, it was a beautiful and interesting round.
In the afternoon we drove to the Jolley Trolley
to the supermarket or to Clearwater Downtown. Clearwater Downtown is not really worth seeing, but the supermarket has to offer everyone. We started a bulk purchase. Even Black Forest bread we got. After a relaxing nap have Today we opened our Kitchen Cute and prepared the first meal itself: pasta with tomato sauce. Simple but delicious!
Finally, a little history of Sven, who yesterday visited his colleagues in the 5 star hotel and it met with Morgan Freeman
. But without glasses, Sven has not seen him really. ;-)
