"Avoid Mental Self-destruction"

I found this articel and liked it allot, so I wanna share it: "Mentally Focus on the Positive, Create a Positive Reality. In addition to the story above, here are a few tips to help you move to a more positive mental state. These tips are focused on athletics; but, they can be used in many other aspects of your life.
1. Speak well of your health.
2. Visualize and speak well of your athletic abilities.
3. Look for incremental successes and believe you can improve.
4. Set your own standards of success.
5. Write it down.
6. Spend time with friends that are optimistic and seek personal improvement.
7. "Live to great success, not to avoid failure."... " [source: activ.com] Think positive --- Kjell

broke my shoulder

Well, this is realy not my time. Today I got the result that I dislocated my shoulder and broke my Clavicle in the same shoulder. It happened on monday and I thought I could fix it by myself and race next sunday. The doc was kind of surprised about my statement, that I planed to race with a broken shoulder. Well I didnt know that it was broken. Hope it heals fast, so I can at least do something --- Kjell

3athlon repord/bericht

"Ein Spaziergang wird der Versuch das Erbe Twelsieks anzugehen wird nicht einfach werden. Der Kanadier Luke Dragsta gilt neben dem Australier Jason Shortis als ein Top-Favorit auf den Titel und einer der wenigen Slots für Kona. Doch ausgerechnet aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum droht Fachbach ebenfalls hartnäckige Konkurrenz im Kampf um Slot, Prämie und das Podium. Die Österreicher Norbert Langbrandtner und Bernhard Keller sind ebenso gemeldet, wie etwa Kjell Schoeberg aus Hamburg und Bernd Hagen (Möhrendorf), sowie Serge Meyer (Bern)."

Next big one

My next race: "Ford Ironman Wisconsin takes place in a sports-crazy town that is known as one of the best spots to bike in the United States, along with being the site of the University of Wisconsin, America's premier "party college." Those two attributes have a bit to do with why this race is so popular and so successful, but there is a lot more to the magic that makes this such a hugely successful event.
The two-loop Ironman Wisconsin swim takes place in the warm waters (75 degrees Fahrenheit/ 24 degrees Celsius) of Lake Monona. The competitors don't have to leave the water at the end of the first loop - they'll just swim straight around the corner of the swim start to begin the second loop.
Like the swim, the bike course in Madison is a two-loop affair. After running up the "helix" or ramp up to the transition area in the parking lot here at the Monona terrace, the competitors jump on their bikes and ride down the opposite "helix" to start the ride."

The power of mind ...

"Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....
The race began....
Honestly:
No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as:
'Oh, WAY too difficult!!'
'They will NEVER make it to the top.'
or:
'Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!'
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one.... Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher.. The crowd continued to yell,
'It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!'
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up.... But ONE continued higher and higher and higher.... This one wouldn't give up! At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top! THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out.... That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!
I like this story, thanks Deborah for mailing me the runningstory --- Kjell

2 nights an Airports

Realy I have to spend 2 hights at different aiports. That sounds pretty bad, but honestly I'm very happy if that all works out. Traveling those days is getting more and more challenging. The luggage situation is realy bad and than countrys like china, where you are not allowed to be at the airport and wait for your flight for longer than 24h. You need even for that a Visa. What if I have to sit there for more hours, like me? They just block your ticket and you cannot leave to get there. Finally United was so nice to change my tickets and now I stay one night in Busan (South Korea). Later today, I will catch my flight to Bejing airport where I need to figure out what to do until tomorrow. It will be fun, I´m sure. I keep you updated --- Kjell

Awards today ...

Well the awards are today and I´m excited what will happen. I´m thinking going on stage with a shirt that says, I´m not a liar, I wanted to race and have the best win. Thats the idea of longdistance racing and not a stage for important people to show their given power. Sorry thats wrong. And I do not blame the Racedirector or anyone from the team for that situation, I just hope the follow the right path and make some consequences. I keep you all updated and if anyone has a suggestion, let me know. Thanks --- Kjell

FXXX over ...

... I´m so mad, even the final solutions is not made. Well it was far from beeing a perfect day here on Jeju (Korea Triathlon Jeju 2008), but I would have won this thing, if everyone wanted. But it looks like the head-referee didnt. It´s new to me to get a drafting card, when you get! passed and say something to that athlet, all within a few seconds on a small inclime. Thats excatly what happened. I will not let that be that way! So far I´m second place, but we are talking about first and second in a longdistance race, that doesnt happen to often, if your are not Macca;-) I let you know --- 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

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.

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!

Cooking ... Kochen

Thanks to Biestmilch. They just did something fun, I was thinking about for quite a while, "Fastfood" but healthy. You can cook fast and healthy and the same time. Eat healthy --- Kjell

PARTY

Got this quote from my good friend Sandy, who wins her agegroup on a constant base: "Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we
might as well dance." Have fun --- Kjell

Smile

I found this saying and it made me smile: "FOR SOME SPORTS YOU NEED A BALL, FOR TRIATHLON YOU NEED TWO!" [source: FACEBOOK-Triathlon group]
Do it --- Kjell
