The year 2011 was exciting for me:

Sport - raced 20 races and won 14!!!
Work - started working at the WC for the Ceour d´Alene tribe in Idaho / Blake started full time at Birds of Prey Northwest / Biestmilch USA is launched
Family - first year anniversary, love you honey / loved the visit of my 95 year old Oma / Sinje got her own place / Mom did her first race
Fun - won my first cook off with a split pea sound / did my first eating competition and made it on the "Wall of Pain"

... and lots more. I must say, it was a challenging year, but lots of fun. Thank you to everyone that crossed my path! Love my family --- Kjell

6 Strength Training Exercises for the Offseason

"Dave Scott: As a season progresses, and an athlete’s strength level increases, they tend to develop dominant muscles while the support muscles get neglected. When you neglect those smaller muscles, they start to shut down. So even though someone’s performance is going up, athletes are always hovering on the brink of injury. Athletes should work on both the small muscle groups and the larger muscle groups to help create balance. ..." [source: active.com by: Michelle Valenti] --- Kjell

Benewah County also typically has the highest unemployment rate in Idaho, and over double the national unemployment rate. Eleven percent of BMC patients are 65 or older.

How to Learn From Your Triathlon Season

"After months of training hard and racing harder, it's tempting to quickly switch into offseason mode and turn your attention to new activities.
But before you pack up the bike and put away the swim fins, you owe it to yourself to thoroughly review what happened (and what didn't) during the race season. This allows you to build on your recent experiences and create an even more rewarding, faster and successful triathlon season next time. ..." [source: active.com author: Chris Janzen] --- Kjell

Dreaded Bonk

"Often, people associate the word “bonk” with “hitting the wall” during endurance events. For endurance athletes it is a sudden and overwhelming feeling of running out of energy. You were running or riding along at what seemed like a manageable pace, then seemingly without warning your legs turned to cement. With heavy legs, a body-wide feeling of fatigue and sometimes dizziness, you are forced to stop."

"The marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards), that is usually run as a road race. The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon (the namesake of the race) to Athens.
The marathon was one of the original modern Olympic events in 1896, though the distance did not become standardized until 1921. More than 500 marathons are contested throughout the world each year, with the vast majority of competitors being recreational athletes. Larger marathons can have tens of thousands of participants."

Weight Loss 101: How to Calculate a Calorie Deficit

"To lose weight, you have to eat fewer calories than your body burns each day. It seems simple enough. What’s not so easy is actually doing it. How do you know if you’re actually eating fewer calories than your body burns? Exactly what size of "calorie deficit" should you aim for? And how can you make sure you’re hitting the mark? ..."

"Writing on the Run"

"... Collins had come to the United States on a college track scholarship, but running had been a means to an end for him, a way to get out of Ireland in the 1980s. Although his athletic career showed promise, he gave up the sport after graduating from Notre Dame in 1986.
Collins didn't return to running for nearly a decade when, six weeks after the stabbing, he signed up for the Chicago Marathon. The race was a mere week away. Powered by his commuter mileage, he ran a 2:30, good for 39th place. That performance reignited a passion for the sport that pushed him toward ultra distances. "I like the spirit of old explorers," he says. "Go and see if you can survive." ... " [author: Araina Bond // source: active] I got my best ideas running/biking/swimming --- Kjell

Is Running in the Cold Bad for Your Lungs?

I knew it "Have you ever heard your mom or coach warn you not to run in the cold? "You'll freeze your lungs if you run in that frigid air," they say. You've maybe even thought it yourself: At what temperature will the cold air damage your lungs? Research shows that runners are not in danger of freezing their lungs, even in the coldest places on Earth such as the North and South Poles. Thanks to our body's brilliant design and adaptability, air reaches body temperature by the time it greets our lungs." [By Amanda McCracken - D3Multisport.com] Enjoy your run --- Kjell

I would live closer. Pacers such a great running store. --- Kjell

Biest Booster

"Biest Booster: Give it a try as race nutrition on the run
Experiment by Kjell Schiöberg, our Chef de Cuisine
There are so many guidelines recommending race nutrition. They all claim to be the best option, but at the end everybody has to make his/her own experience. Experimenting yourself, what’s best for you is the only way to really find out what works best for you under which circumstances. Therefore I undertook the experiment to run a marathon with a Biest Boosters only waiving gels or bars." [source: biestmilch.com]

Thank you Biestmilch for the flowers.
"Ironhamburger: Our Chef de Cuisine in Action
If you are an athlete and you need a cook Kjell Schiöberg is the perfect choice. He is working with me in Kona, Hawaii since 4 years now. Ask athletes like Chris “MACCA” McCormack or Ronnie Schildknecht, his meals are just perfect, the variety is amazing, and everything is healthy and tasty.
You can pass by for dinner by surprise, Kjell is able to improvise fast and efficient. What I like so much about him is that he stays always calm regardless how many people are invading our place.
Last year in Kona he prepared our Biestmilch dinner for 30 people, it was sensational…

The twelve days if Christmas

"The Twelve Days of Christmas is probably the most misunderstood part of the church year among Christians who are not part of liturgical church traditions. Contrary to much popular belief, these are not the twelve days before Christmas, but in most of the Western Church are the twelve days from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany (January 6th; the 12 days count from December 25th until January 5th). In some traditions, the first day of Christmas begins on the evening of December 25th with the following day considered the First Day of Christmas (December 26th). In these traditions, the twelve days begin December 26 and include Epiphany on January 6." [source: Dennis Bratcher] --- Kjell
