autumn and so are getting colder, the trees are nearly bare back and what is still hanging in the branches of deciduous shows in different colors. The weather is usually wet and rather cold, many begin with the first depression to fight, and I ... Now, I'm sick. Nothing wild, a little cold, a little flu - my former family doctor thought to such matters "The doctor, it takes about two weeks with 14 days".
A little chemistry creates as remedial, but while I'm more or less tied to my bed and the surrounding area, can I use the time to make my year's events.
I can look back on a long, intense and somewhat successful season - for the first time in years, if I'm honest.
In November 2009 I started training for this year. Physically, the battered and then just also, as I must admit, for personal reasons, an emotional wreck, did it get only better. I had finally found a lung doctor, who seemed interested in again for me, my asthma became more and more annoying side issue and I actually looked forward to the long training in the pool. For the first time I had in my season planning in addition to three training camps, two long distance events on the plan and the way some small competitions - I simply wanted to try something new.
In January, the big turning point: after I had gone out in the snow holiday in Davos my medication, I realized very quickly that I no cortisone and co. was significantly better performance to each other and also - I decided a self-test and let the drugs now gone completely. With success: for the first time in my life I was able to exercise heart rate values that are not dependent on the chemicals in my body swayed to and fro.
Shortly before the start of the season I was the first and with the exception of now and only time ill this year - I caught myself in the third training camp in Cambrils, SP, a Lebensmittelverginftung, which cost me, with some training sessions and round five kilograms of body weight . Despite this small setback in late May began for me the season - and well.
I drove several races, was faster and felt in August as the highlight of the season was on the plan, really top - unfortunately, I came to this competition only once straight up on the bike course, after two kilometers, making both of my tires fail and I could go home . Go was the big final in Barcelona come -
In September, I was able to run at one of my favorite tournaments, the middle distance in Locarno, at last a top ten finish.
where I was not exactly the best time on the track, but in the end I could produce a finish, and coupled so that my first podium in a long distance race - not a bad deal for the year, even if it was not gone entirely according to my ideas.
Basically, I can look back on a long, successful and informative year for which I can take for the 2011 season with much certainty. I have even more new findings about the effectiveness of energy bars donated and know now that I am able to swim 3.8 kilometers in long-distance triathlon in fifty minutes - what makes you want more, and begs the question: is it arrogant to target the 47 minutes? I have noticed that I'm not on the wheel quite as bad as I expected so far and am motivated for next year to improve my performance there again.
The next week I will use it to be healthy - then, on the first November 2010, I will start training for the season 2011. I am looking forward to getting back to full throttle and I'm excited about what awaits me!
Sincerely, Fabian
