So, this was my opponent of which I was very very apprehensive. I have been starting a MegaMarsch evnt in Cologne, a few years back, when I just noticed, that my backbone is not happy about the topic of cycling and triathlon. So I thought a 100km walk/hile would be a worthy endeavour, I signed up, got to the start…
Finally. Family vacation in Chicago again. I did not expect that I’d feel so much home there, as I then was. We decided to choose a different time in the year, not in Summer. For once we did not want the dirt of election campaigns. And there was an eclipse waiting to happen. This also meant, I put in my…
…..and more So this was a present from my husband. Fly to Athens have a cool week there, and fight anomaly. The anomaly – this time me without bike – went fine – lots of activity, lots of fighting, shard scoring. Just…unfortunately we lost anyways. It rained. Several of us slipped on the wet marble. No major accidents, gratefully, just…
Fifty (or so) shades of sky……
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…

The guy I talked to probably around 70 years old. wow! I had some nice landscape to cover, just to have village skylines emerge…

No breakfast, so I set off, back in Germany I should easily find a bakery somewhere… Ant that I did – delicious breakfast in a backyard with canaries in a voliere. Again enough coffee for me – and then I started following th Bockl…
The next morning I got a delicious breakfast in my Stribro pension, and then set off to buy a helmet. The store opened at 8AM, and a very friendly person who happened to speak some English, sold me a gray bolle helmet. I payed, we chatted a bit about riding through forest bike paths and all that – the store…
This is more or less a hostel – a bed, plus facilities to clean up,, It was good I had packed towel and soap (always good to know where your towel is) but I could not get breakfast. On the other hand, I didn’t mind setting off and searching for some local bakery or cafe en route. When I was…
This is the other project: the European long distance hike… It goes North South… As posted before – at the end I’d like to have hiked and/or biked all of Europe.Why? Because connections best happen person to person. Face to face.And because I want to… training for endurance. Maybe for a Megamarsch type event. Sightseeing at places which are not…
