So, the start of the TAC is about to begin. Here you get a small overview of my start preparations. After my hibernate(winter sleep) I gained a few pounds instead of like the bears in nature loosing it. I gained abou 30pounds this winter…good foo, lots of sleep and a lack of movement, my scale told me 83 kil´s…well, I thought….until the start of the TAC it should be only 70kilo´s.
My first race was in april2009 in Lüneburg: Exercise Z E R O units, but a great organisation. Weight: 82K, sadly there wasn´t a prize for the folks who rode up the mountain with no pushing. I rode my own velocity, and for the first time in my life I´ve being lapped out… Well, thatßs the way the cookie crumble´s, because there are not much races in northern Germany, I hope that next year are a little bit more participators. The devise is: be there or be square…

A few weeks later I made a short holiday in Altenau/Harz over the first of may. We had real nice weathee and much of lovely single-trails(Everything your heart wants the most). My scale still showed me about 83,5 kilo`s. The good thing about my weight was, that I´ve been the fastest downhill and the rode up the mountain real comfortable. Jana and Uwe escorted me the way up to the Brocken.

Second race of the season2009 the bike-marathon in Altenau. Awesome atmossphere and a better course than last years with more fun and alternation.One of the new stuff was the up and down in an gravel pit. Meanwhile I had about 350km´s in my legs. Sadly the compression socks, didn´t make me go faster…

greetings
