Newyears Christianphrase

start?

... and it all starts again. The year 2011 is there, you have to get used again to another year, the part has just begun (and with it the real winter) and under the February already almost at the door, this referred to often as unnecessary assembly in the months . He is often called at least once.

It has already something - as a triathlete is one in Switzerland in winter is always a little disadvantage, so it seems. Especially if we then think of several pro athletes, who meet in Australia for the barbecue or in Colorado first Heat attacks together. "Unfair" is a word that is not as rare, or "advantage" ... I see it somewhat differently.

Just triathletes are so fast at it when it comes to great speeches in the sense of "what does not kill us makes us hard!" to swing. What they mean is closer to demand, however, usually an excessively hard training on any mountain pass in the sunshine followed by beer in a nice bar, preferably even at a time in the year in which the basic training was supposed to be in the foreground.

Yes, we are all tough and also the resurrected hero of Troy - there fighting they also under the bright sun of the Mediterranean. Why so cold, why take a risk "So by going to run outside in freezing temperatures - and thus risking a cold or knee pain?

I am asking why a little provocative, because I have just caught, to search for an excuse not to go out into the snow. And that comes to my mind that I am back on itself to look forward to the magnificent pool deck talks in the winter. And it shall be again outdo each other to drown - and most of all always and everywhere a confirmation that it was only reasonable to omit this or that training. And since I I would like to continue to have such scenes can have fun, I do now, with this new year, nail heads and look forward to an endurance run in the snow. For why should I push for a workout, just because there is something uncomfortable? I quote once again as an athlete I know that I admire very much: to find the point where it goes no further, where the pain too great and the distance is too long - to find that point and to overcome the is the soul and the center of the triathlon. Think about it.

In this sense - a happy new year I wish you all and good luck in the new season! Have fun in the snow!

Sincerely,

Fabian
