Karaoke night 2004

"I went to Osaka as an ambassador for my City Hamburg. Osaka (Japan) and Hamburg (Germany) are sistercity´s, so Hamburg decided to I went to Osaka as an ambassador for my City Hamburg. Osaka (Japan) and Hamburg (Germany) are sistercity´s, so Hamburg decided to send me. One night we went out to an Karaoke Bar and had some fun. It was terrible I know, but thats Karaoke, most of the time." [YouTube: IronHamburger Channel] Stay happy --- Kjell

MAIL-ignorance

I call it "MAIL-ignorance" and it is a disease in our new communication world. I thought mails are on the way to be a formal medium, but no they are not. I´m in progress to organize my trips, my races, my visa and plenty other things. Some of them worldwide, so Mails are a great thing, I can do them whenever I want to. But recently I experienced that people do not reply my mails. Even if you disagree or you are bussy, there is allways a minute for a short sentence. I take the time and sometimes I have to write: "more later or sorry I´m very bussy right now!" And that is fine, much better than getting ignored. So lets get back and reply mails --- Kjell
PS: I found even 147 google hits for "MAIL-ignorance"!

Fun times

The promotion-week on Hawaii was fun and allot of stress at the same time. I´m getting ready to leave for Wiesbaden/Frankfurt to work for Biestmilch. We do some promtion arround the Ironman Germany. Some of the Biestmilch-Athletes will race and we have two favourites -Nicole and Chris - in the race for the victory. The trailers from our promotion in Hawaii made me smile. Have a look at "Chasing DHL up the hill" and "Meeting Chris McCormack running on Alii Drive". Good luck with the taper --- Kjell

Ironman Coeur d´Alene ...

... is on the way. And I have to thank you Ironman Coeur d´Alene for bringing me together with Blake. We met last year during the carboloading, where I brought here some cookies, because she was to lazy. Here brother Matt is getting ready to rock&roll on sunday. I hope the wind is going done, so the conditions will be nicer. not the happiest camper on earth - me last year finishing the race. the racelocation is a beauty, for sure
Matt relax now and kick it on sunday, remember: "For some sports you need a ball, for Triathlon you need two!" --- Kjell

Have a Quilt

I defently have enough t-shirts for an Keepsake Theme Quilt, but not the time to decide witch onces I wanna use. I´m sure my reaction will be close to this one: "My family and I will treasure this beautiful tshirt quilt forever. It is truly a "keepsake" in every sense of the word!!" - Jeanne Reynoldsburg, OH [source: Keepsake Theme Quilte] I counted the t-shirt I got this year, just for fun and I made it up to 9 shirts allready. I total I don´t know, probably arround 100. Enjoy --- Kjell

Swimming

I got my first good picture during the swim in a triathlon. My sister Sinje took this picture on the weekend. It was easier, because we where swimming twice arround a bridge at the beach in Niendorf - Baltic Sea. Have a fun swim --- Kjell

to much

I know for the majority it is hard to get, but this crazyness arround soccer drives me nuts. Ok, I´m not a big soccer fan anyways, but what is going one here back home is just way to much. The European Championships started the "flagging" (you see every other car with a german flag) again. There is a article in a german Magazin about the "flagging": "Köhler und Künast erfreut über Fahnenmeer!" [source: spiegel.de] Well it´s over soon --- Kjell

Good start ...

I won the Ostsee Triathlon. So it was a good start in my double weekend. But after 300 on the bike, the days before I´m tired and my legs hurt. Let´s see how the Hachede Triathlon goes today.

Baltic Sea

I will jump in the Baltic Sea today. The expected watertemperatur is allright. Allot warmer than the water during the Ironman 70.3 Boise. Happy swimming --- Kjell

On the way to my Grandmo

Today, I will ride my bike to my grandmo. She is so excited to see me after 6 month. I´m too. I miss Blake allot. It will take me good 3 hour to get there and than I have to do another 15k running. My coach Peter wants to kick it, even with some races on the weekend. He is the boss. Thanks Peter. Happy training --- Kjell

weather

This weather here in Hamburg is depressing. I got told it is summer, but now I have to wait for the poring rain to stop until I can start to ride to my grandmo. Please summer come back --- Kjell
PS: and it snowed in Moscow a few days ago, that is so crazy!

Fund raising for a friend

Have a look and maybe you wanna do something: "Many of you know Dave Baigent and many of you do not. If you are an Australian triathlete you would know Dave from all the races around the country with his smiling face, caring heart and absolute love of this sport and the people in it. He is one of the souls of the earth and a very close friend of mine. ..." (source: Chris Macca) All the best --- Kjell
