1st bike fall

It was Saturday, I was with my baby going for the "long ride" of the week, since it is the 2nd week of the program it is only a 90mins ride.

I am in a traffic light behind cars, the light turns green I am going very slow, about to stop. I think that there is no reason to free my foot because the car in front of us will go when he decides not to go and let the motorbikes and the car going out of the gas station go in front of us. I was stalled and

I had no time to put my foot on the ground and I fall, no damage done, only one small scratch on my elbow, hehe.

The ride was very good except for the traffic lights, I need to learn new routes although it is fun to go fast, and when I say fast right now it means over 40km/h, although I had tailwind, hehe.

At night I was on the phone for a very long and wonderful time.

On Sunday I went for my run, it was just amazing, I did not feel fast which it is not a surprise anymore; my best time was 1h1s although I had to stop 15s for the traffic light. Yesterday it was very sunny, and I started to realize that my pace was quite fast but I wasn't feeling the speed, so I decided to keep going, at about 37mins in the run my legs started to feel Saturday's ride but I kept on going, I turned around at the BMW Welt in 35mins, I had dreamed to do it some day under 37; from then on I tried to keep the pace, not faster, and I was smashing all my expectations at all my time checkers. I finished the run in 57mins15secs and I had to wait for 25secs at the traffic light!!! Ever since I got in this flat I wanted to run that course under 1h. I beat that time by 3mins!!!

Today it was the rest day, hehe. I just signed up for a swim course with other triathletes, I'll start tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.

I need to stop procrastinating with uni staff. I hope to have it done by tomorrow

Almost st Jordi

Tomorrow is Saint Jordi, I already have my T-shirt for tomorrow, the catalan soccer national team t-shirt. I have also thought about going to buy roses and just hand them out at Marienplatz but I at this moment I doubt it.

Today Joan Antoni Samaranch has been berried, former president of the IOC and father of Barcelona '92. Thanks for what you did to Catalunya, although you had supported the Spanish fascists.

I am very sorry about the misunderstanding, I did not know you had not received the message. There are somethings that if I had known about the message I wouldn't have written them. I was in rage but it wasn't your fault, neither mine probably, it was the network's fault, may be. I have to blame someone else, hehe.

today I rode my bike for 1h, I averaged 110rpm and fuck it was hard. I did not how to seat after the first 30mins, it is insane how hard the seat is and it gets worse when I have to ride at a very high cadence. Normally I should be riding at around 90 rpm. Then I went to the pool and I swam for 1h. The drills are very hard, I am OK swimming freestyle but the drills are very hard, I use the fins now, and it is a little easier but it is hard anyway. I swam in a fake lane with a retard guy, he saw me a couple of times overtaking him at the wall and he wasn't kind enough to let me go first, he didn't let me pass him on the inside. What a dusch. I should be doing strength training but today I already had a double session, hehe.

After two days without rise I ate it again today, back to veggies tomorrow, hehe. I missed it. I had it with mild curry paste because I knew I was swimming afterward, otherwise I would've eaten hot curry paste, hehe

PS: I have to apologize to the readers because I do not read it again after writing the post. I am too lazy, hehe. I have read some of the old posts and there are some mistakes, but this is like a journal to me, so if any outside reader doesn't understand it or I make huge mistakes like writing window instead of week, it is my problem, hehe, love you all.

rough day

Rough day today, it seemed that everything went wrong today. I woke up late, I did not want to train, although when I did I felt great, I broke the valve stopper of my rear wheel when I was pumping it, then the bike trainer did not want to work, I went to sign up for the gym at ZHS and I could not do it because, apparently, you need an introductory course and they are all booked out by now, yesterday barcelona lost to Inter in the semifinals of the Champions League, I need to change my new MTB because it doesn't fit me, and when I was coming back from the ZHS I had a lot of time to think and I thought about her.

I am tired of her games, I don't know what she wants but at this moment she has to choose between all or nothing, no more tricks, no more I also thought a lot about you and what happened those 3 days, no more you can't come and tell me this, no more I thought we could just be friends but it looks like we can't, no more lies. Sometimes I feel like I hate you, some other times I love you even though everything I know about you.

Yesterday I used my fins for the first time, I think they work very well, hehe. I was very happy yesterday because it looks like there are not so many people at the pool and I am also thinking seriously to join the tri swimming on Tuesdays.

Today I had a brick session and I nailed it, even though the trainer did not work well. I average 94rpm and I ran fast, of course I only had to run for 15mins and that is fairly easy to run it fast, the bike could look like the warm up, hehe.

I have also changed my diet a little bit, I am not eating as much rice as I used to and I eat more veggies. I need to check on my calorie intake, since I dropped a few hours of training I need to control my diet, hehe, and the rice had lost its effect. I had been eating rice too many times in a row, hehe. Hopefully this new diet works well, I'll give it a try.

1st ride with my baby

Last night I set up the superwing and the kona bag to my baby, it looks really good, hehe. Since I could not find I small inflator that I liked I put on my pump on the it as well.

I was pumped to go for the ride and I tried to get up early in the morning but I was too tired and I was supposed to go tothe "flohmarkt" with my flatmates, we went there, I came back and I went for the ride.

The bike feels really fast, it is faster than me, it is better than me, I am a proud owner of a Kestrel Talon, hehe. I did not know where we were going, it was only 80mins ride, there were too many traffic lights, I need to get better rides. It was very fun and very different from riding indoors, hehe.

I came back home and I had to give up all my furniture, I was only left with a bed, fortunately I already have a huge high table, hehe, now I need shelves or a closet or something for my clothes.

Later on I got a message from her, is she having second thoughts? I wish, although I doubt it. She is away and I am worried about how she will get home because of the volcano. We'll see how it goes.

Now, I am watching Espanyol vs BARÇA, it is the half time and I don't like the game very much but I am pretty sure that we, FCB, will win.

1st brick session of the program

I was very lazy today, I could not believe how long it took me to train and to do some chores, at some point I felt like I was never gonna get it done but I did it.

I missed my baby, and today I rode it for the 1st time in a month or so, since I was away, I rode it for 30mins and then I change to run in less than 3 min, I ran for 15. So far the program is light, just the 1st week, I am working out 6h a week this 1st week and I used to do 11h per week. Soon the hours will add up, hehe. I am I gonna put some weight on? I am trying to watch a little bit my diet, hehe

besides my training my life is very boring and I am a little down, I've been like this for too much time, I want to change it. Hopefully after next window it will change a little bit since I'll be busier with uni.

I keep realizing that there is something wrong, either with me or the world. Someone is lying to me. Some people tell me that I look good, I don't see it. If we look at my luck at having a girlfriend I must say that everyone else lies but me. I wish it was me who lies to myself but according to my affect on girls and their reactions it is not true. Let's see if my luck changes any time soon.

Now it is time to watch Barcelona vs Deportivo.

1st session

I was flattered last night about the flat offer for the next year, I don't know where I'll be and I don't know what I am going to do with the offer, but I was very happy to received it.

Today was a double session day, 30mins run in the morning and 2,5km swim at night, I felt exhausted during the run, and I felt pretty well during the swim although I need to get some fins to be able to do the drills. It is very hard to do the drills without the fins, my body sinks, specially after the run, hehe.

I still can't believe we let me go the way you did after those 3 beautiful days. I try to get you out of my head but I can't. Those days were great, I felt great and it looked like you felt great too. What's wrong with us?

Now is time to get some work done and write some emails before heading to bed.

PS:I have just been noticed I will need to refurnish my room. Does anyone has a spare couch, closet, desktop, ...?hehe.

30 weeks to go

1st day of the training plan and I get to rest that's a great start, hehe. This 1st week should be light. I have been working out a lot to be ready for the program so I hope I did not over train or anything like it.
I am very excited to start the plan, I am even more excited to race but I don't how well I will handle the next 30 weeks.
I'll have to handle Uni, German, training and love issues, and at this particular moment I am only handling one of them. Uni is about to start and my German is not very good, in fact it sucks.
I made a very big decision yesterday, I decided to dramatically drop contact with my beloved one and I am dying to hear from her. It is very hard one you love someone and you are not loved back. I don't know how I will held this situation because I don't understand her acts, which contradicts her words.
Now it is time to get ready for tomorrow's workout.
