... 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. ;-)

Hypochromic Normocytic B



At Frankfurt airport, before starting to Washington


The view from our balcony

male competition in our office (newly set up in the morning)

Hello dear to-home-at-heart!

After a very time-consuming, but also scheduled arrival, we arrived in Clearwater Beach. The flights were comfortable, but will not pass without us. In addition, the annoying travel to the United States, which presented itself but since our New York residence (5 years ago) a bit more relaxed. The plane that we flew to Washington was air conditioned so strong that even a triathlete took up the journey with his cap.

first "competitor" recognized we have the Hannes-Hawaii-Tours travel documents. Sven turned to one or another before, during, I joked that the order to the Immigration hopefully the equivalent of the finish on Saturday - we were at the front.

At the airport waiting for us in Tempa then Hannes-Hawaii-Team (our tour operator). There we were provided with water and sandwiches and brought to the property. The conversations in the minivan were typical triathlon, and left me chuckle so.

As it was already dark, we could not perceive the expected beach scenery really. Our room very American in the 70's I was able to perceive the other hand, very good. So taste absolutely disgusting but also appropriate and as described before and really expected of me.

After waking up today with the sun, beach, sea, balcony with amazing view, the world looks like quite different. Sven and brought along our coffee-making facilities provided for the best start for the day. The time difference I felt very little and were also the last night also put back the clocks one hour.

After breakfast we went to Hannes office to pick up our guest book and gifts :-) first excursions. A first small purchase for our mini-kitchen and a good bottle of red wine for Mrs. B. The evening is saved. :-)

Sven took care of his bike (which he has pre-ordered from Germany), while I opened a term option. Yesterday a pair traveled with us, which I did, after all, he takes off and she had missed out on qualification by only 8 minutes. You should now be running my current partner - what was their idea. Honestly, I had thought proper respect, but also as bad's it will not be. I would not be well run. So I was watching the lines on the map and we agreed on the beach run a bit to go. We started the strongest headwinds, which made sure that I was after about 30 minutes shortly before falling over. But that was the happiness of the moment of the turning point. With strong tail wind we went back. For me, a phsychologisch Wichter point. How to say my favorite girlfriend ever "the Brown wants to go home." In hindsight, I can also say that it was physically demanding, the journey is still in its bones, but above all a psychological game did the rest. For my running partner is a multiple Ironman finisher Erin, a pretty good runner with a madman training workload. All this I learned on the run. :-(

completed the subsequent solar unit at the pool, I much better. Sven is now a Ründchen is cycling, then it is most likely with our "new friends" to dinner. After that I am already on the glass of red wine, which I've also deserved, but certainly not a smart move is towards my new running partner. ;-) BUT: I'm on vacation!

Sanna, Lech gorges, Brandenberger, Engadin

Hi,
it is time again for fürn small report of our paddling trips, because since the last report on the wild side of course we have again experienced a lot.

a very exciting paddling day we experienced on 11 August.

target was the Lech canyons, we had to know once again a rookie this ravine, and like most it is especially exciting for newcomers in the rugged gorges with many forced passages.
Before it went to the Lech we first went on the Sanna, who had a very good water level, warm. The
Lech ravines were, as always a treat, although there have been some exciting situation. Our rookie was then able to sleep well.
