Lunch Time ...

Hello Mrs. Cow! How is Lunch ;-)

Chicken feeding ...

The Kanponchicken are everywhere. All different in color, size and behavior. My friend is feeding some (between 15-30 chicken), so they decided to live arround and on the house. Here some pictures and sometimes a couple eat the rice out of your hands. That is fun and the don´t care if it is rice or you hand ;-)

I hope that this is right that they are called kampon-chicken. If not and you know better let me know, thanks! Try to Google it, but to many (72 - small number a google) other results: GOOGLE

Have a great day --- Kjell

New cycling tech ...

I saw this young man yesterday with a different cycling technic. I think he had fun and it worked downhill ;-)

Have a great day ... Kjell

Oh no, not again ...

I had a long day today and it started good with a nice swim. But on the bike, I had my 5th puncture during my stay here on Langkawi. But my supporter Dennis W. from Projekt Triathlon gave me Doc Blue for this trip.
And great I had it in this punctured tube and it worked. I´m happy to have this DOC BLUE with me.
THANKS to Dennis and a happy training

»Einer, der ausgezog, um …« im Biest-Blog

» Einer, der ausgezog, um … «
"Kjell, eines der treuesten Biester, sendete diesen Beitrag vor einigen Tagen aus Malaysia. Ich denke zur Zeit regelmäßig an Kjell. Vielleicht kommt das daher, dass ich derzeit so in den Alltag eingespannt bin, dass mich das Fernweh immer wieder packt. Fernweh ist ja meist ein etwas romantisches Gefühl und hat mit der Realität nur begrenzt etwas zu tun, wie man das auch aus Kjells Bericht entnehmen kann. Ich kenne dieses ambivalente Gefühl des Glücks und des Schmerzes zu eben der selben Zeit, wenn man in der Ferne weilt."
[Zitat: Biest-Blog und Einleitung meines kleiner kleinen Reflexion]

Auf und davon - Kjell

So the IronHamburger found some Hamburger boats even here in Malaysia:

That is so funny, I think.
Safe trip home ... Kjell

Happy day off today ;-) Kjell

Schlafen ...

"Gebt den Leuten mehr Schlaf - und sie werden wacher sein, wenn sie wach sind." [Zitat: Kurt Tucholsky - gefunden auf: http://www.schlaf.de/].
Zwar heißt es 6-8 Stunden, am Besten 7 wären ideal, aber ich brauche meine 8-9 im Moment!

Einen guten Schlaf wünsch ich allen.
LG Kjell

Gunung Raja ...

Heute war Bergtraining (5x10Min. Gas am Berg) angesagt und ich habe mir den "großen Berg der Insel der Legenden" ausgesucht:
"Gunung Raja
Der Gunung Jerai ist mit 1206 Metern der höchste Gipfel im nördlichen Teil der Malaysischen Halbinsel. Seine Gipfel sind mit zahllosen Mythen und Legenden umrankt, darunter die Sage eines "Raja Bersiong", eines Königs mit Raubtierzähnen, der in den Vorhügeln dieses Berges seine Residenz hatte.Der Erholungswald von Sungai Teroi in dieser Gegend bietet Dschungel-Trekking, Wasserfälle und Campingplätze." [Zitat: http://www.tourismmalaysia.de/regionen/kedah.htm] War keine leichte Einheit, aber traumhafte Eindrücke und eine krampfige Abfahrt, da die Straße in keinem guten Zustand ist und ich 14km auf der Bremse stand. Die Laufräder waren heiß gelaufen, als ich unten war. Happy to be done...

Biestmilch is just fantastic! ...

Biestmilch is just fantastic! ...
The Biestmilch is included in my everyday routine like eating, sleeping and right now doing my training. I have a great feeling about it and I´m not the only one: http://biest-blog.typepad.com/biest_blog/2007/01/biestmilch_is_j.html

Have a "biesty day" ... Kjell

... and see one of the Biestmilch producers:

Kopfsache ...

Heute Morgen hatte ich zwar wenig Schwung, habe aber meinen letzten Tag in diesem Trainingsblock mit dem Kopf gesteuert und bin Morgens Schwimmen gegangen. War OK, doch die große Begeisterung kam bei der folgenden Einheit nicht auf 100km Rad+20km Laufen.Ich erinnerte mich an Gespräche auf Hawaii mit Uwe Widmann (http://www.uwewidmann.de/index2.html), mit dem wir uns ein Appartment teilten und dem Austausch mit Susann von der Biest-Gang bzw. von Biestmilch (www.biestmilch.com / http://biest-blog.typepad.com/).
Was genau abging und wie kann ich jetzt und hier nicht mehr wiedergeben, da ich zu kaputt bin. Sorry!
Freue mich körperlich und geistig sehr auf den Ruhetag morgen!
Und ich werde mich ein wenig von der Sonne fern halten, da ich in 10 Jahren keine Lederhaut haben möchte!!!
Liebe Grüße aus der Ferne - Kjell
