Hola Piratas,

Ferropolis 2010 and ist time to write another bulletin. After the marathon in Hamburg I had to get some special treatment of the handsome hands of my healer. Sometimes I wasn´t sure what hurts more, the special treatment by Dr. Pain or running the marathon. However… fresh taped I travvelled to the event of Ferropolis, and for my surprise I met there a good friend of mine, Olaf from Dresden, he just decided to start all over again with triathlon after long years of absent. While he already rode his bike in a Pirate way on Mallorca and prooved his abiltiy at the bar counter( Where we are is the front…) so he was allowede to start as a Pirate. So we were at least 2 Pirates against the superiority of the St.Pauli skulls... But the choice of the beverages od Olaf the evening before , was some kind of “conservative”… A last critical spot at the piece of sport equioment... …. ...and off we go, for the check-in of the bikes As a matter of fact being a Pirate, you suppose to be and start in the first row, but not in the opinion of the “officials”, while the place only belongs to the pro`s !!! But the chief of staff “Mike”, likes to be photographed with Pirates…. …. „ MARSUPIALS “ With so many bags at once, a real man is overstrained Like this...this should be the way, my comrad in arms should see me: my back at first, when I pass them while cycling and for second when they pass me again, while I´m laggy on the running part. and what kind of shampoo for your hair do you use??? Nothing to say about it all…J In a moment we were allowed to get in the refreshing waters (16°C ) I didn´t knew that smurf are able to swim ?!? Finally on the bike, warming up… … While Olaf still was on his bike riding around the villages with his tongue out… …I was already laggy on the running course… …Olaf tried it by flying everyone what him belong, but I perferred energy bars and gels... Nothing to say at all!! Finally, when we arrived at the finish line, we had to keep a hold at a glass of beer and the use of each other... Phew…what a smell out of my bag of shoes,underwear and socks But at the finishing party, after a few “Caipi´s” we got more´n ore squiffy and “put the lights on” …until we only saw the stars!!! And whats happening her, you didn´t really want to know........ Closing this, we had lots of fun again, before, at and after the contest.. This year it also worked with the weather, only the water in the “pool” could be a little bit more warm…but who cares, because the wimps or mollycoddles were on other contest this weekend.
