Someone had the glorious idea to have a GORUCK event in Berlin. No, not one, not two, but three GORUCK events (BASIC style) – GORUCK BASIC are events for around six hours, including plenty of rucking, plenty or PT, exhaustion, sore feet, maybe some water, and learning. Not „just“ psychologically („I think I can I think I can“) but literally…
Fifty (or so) shades of sky……
After two years COVID restrictions and apprehensive planning, we wanted to get back to vacationing but for that virus isn’t gone and won’t be gone, soon, we decided, not to fly but to rent a house in far away Brittany, in Camaret-sur-Mer. Car packed, and we went our merry ways West, and farther West, avoiding tollways, until we reached Velizy,…
I had still been too lazu to set up my tent… Meaning – I got to Thalkirchen around 23:00 after the party, cycling somewhat 30 minutes, it was dark and mainly – the Camp ground was crowded with tents. For last night my airmatress had lost air – was kind of empty, I unpacked the newer nobler version this time,…
How could I not write about the best event so far this year… Well, End July there was the Ingress Anomaly, a battle with beacons, shards, we had GORUCK, we had a mission day, we had an overworked orga (THANK YOU), swag, too little sleep, a nice after party, But starting from the start… This was such a busy set…
Ingress introduced me to this crazyness, but I got hooked – whenever I tell someone, that I am roaming the landscape carrying a 15kg backpack, letting some cadre command me to do exercises which tend to hurt (hurt as in exhaustion hurt, not injury hurt) whenever I tell this to someone, then they question this. Why? Why would you have…
When I ran my very first Ironman race in Wisconsin, I was totally worn out coming into the finish. happy for I made it, elated, for…I made it…Full of endorphines, I guess. At the time it was a one-minute-time slot for sign up for such a race. After a minute all starter slots were gone. So may people already signed…
Riding 20km. After all those days. Meeting a couple who took a similar route on a different bike path – bound to Ulm, on their non electric bikes – making Ulm in two days or three. The guy I talked to probably around 70 years old. wow! I had some nice landscape to cover, just to have village skylines emerge…
Wow. I really did not think I’d made it this far. Cycling – I had been with my electric bike all over the place – but this is a regular race frame, with luggage. With a bendy back and cleats and all that. Who was I to plan 500km in one piece. After not doing any racing activities anymore. On…
Gruenau, yesterday, this day I first found the towns of Suess (sweet), Ottensoos, Pommelsbrunn, Lauf, Hammer What makes people name their villages? Why would my village be named „hammer“ I got a delicious breakfast at my place, Whatever, on my merry way along the B14 road, with a few excursions to the side. I knew I wanted to hit Nuremberg…
