Ironman Hawaii 2010

Aloha folks!
For the past 9 days I am back in the Mecca of Traithlonsports - Big Iceland! This island in the Pacific Ocean means these days, the navel, or the navel, the triathlon world. Here are some legends were born of our sport, but also written countless personal tragedies ... For me it's the second time after 2008 that I am starting to Ironman world championship standing, but this does not make it easier. As a rookie, is one of this race simply to much more relaxed and the objective is "finish". Of course there are those who take the race too loose and then "shoot" completely ... As a multi-Starter If you want to but then one or two things differently, respectively. make better and this will inevitably lead to more "work pressure". Now pressure is actually a good thing, but as so often, it is also a question of dose! Until now, I have this correct dose level of (An) voltage is always very good, until my qualifying race in Frankfurt. There, I have pushed in recent weeks before the race just too much exaggerated and me so much mentally in the trial races and key units that I was convinced: "Whoever wants to become European champions AK35-39, beat me had ..." This was my original Plan A, the Hawaii-qualification, the plan B and everything turned in my head only to the AK victory! That this new formulation of objectives was not competitive level, I know now ;-) You wonder now, perhaps, what has this got to do with my race in two days? It's simple - this is my goal:

"Pirmin, give the first to the last meter all what is possible in this day and was always grateful and proud that you can deal with such mental and physical performance at all!"

In this sense: "Go hard or walk to the finis hline"

Thanks for the great (remote) support ... mahalo!
