election time and shabbat shalom / FDP = FTP likewise File Transfer Protocol

 My dear friends,

like everyone in the holy country, that is Israel, both the nation and the state, knows is of election time the most shitty time of the year. 

Shabbat Shalom. 

 

But how is it, election time in Germany? Please share for German-Israeli friendships, storyboard and fun: 1) a photostory for the introduction and 2) then full text with FTP, that is German Tempocratic Party. Unfortunatelly it is writte wrong, I had to correct it on their wallpaper because there is no trademark on "Zukunft durch Leistung" that means future by hard work and labour, please compare 3).

 

1) photostory (hard labour)

a) when I went out to smoke a cigarillo on the balcony I found out of three pigeons shitted here to see.


 b) so I took my swimsport-googles, aimed by having tensioned the elastic band, orca brand, shot the googles to where they fly and made the three pigeons say good-bye. 

 

c) after that I made my way to up, found out it was a trap, because there was to find still more of crap. 

 

d) luckily there was in a hook - likewise made for via ferrrata - made a stand to find my googles again in the end, where the pigeons nested, just have a look.


 2) The Stroy in mere words for my triathlon friends / use translator please or scroll down a little

 

a) in DE (hard work)

Bitte teilen.
Aber Achtung: Achtung Ironie (kurz für AI), womöglich auch im Sinne der sog. "Ignorierliste". Oder auch einfach Mal so kurz vor dem Wochenende, am hoffentlich arbeitsfreien Freitag zu früher Stund', unter uns im "Triathlon-Forum/Adressaten": user - (m)ein politisches UPDATE.
 
Liebe Foris, auch f(d)b gehört zum "Forum Romanum", leider. Oder wie der Lateiner zu sagen pflegt: Cives Romanum sum.
 
Denn es gibt kein fragmentiertes Netz. Noch nicht. Danke an Sören Naujoks a ka flaix. Grüße vorab an die Dauerkontrahenten Arne und Kai, und den von mir inzwischen hochgeschätzten, neutralen Beobachter Jörn (Dr. jur.).
 
Liebe Freunde, wir sind doch alle Triathleten? Denn das ganze Internet ist ein Forum. Lange Rege, kurzer Sinn also?
 
Lange habe ich mich nicht mehr zu Wort gemeldet und die Gründe sind allen im Forum bekannt. Und für alle, die mich nicht aus der Triathlonszene kennen der Hinweis, dass ich national und international diskutiert und debattiert habe mit Spitzensportlerinnen und Topsportlern, quantitativ und qualitativ.. Sogar die Bundesregierung hat Gerüchten zu Folge meine Texte verwendet zu dem Zwecke der internationalen Reputation der Bundesregierung im INTERNET.
Und hier, im i-net hake ich ein, denn dieser ganze unnütze Kram an Datenmüll und Spam, sowie der mediale Übereifer in den traditionellen Medien (Television, Radio, Tageszeitungen; die kurze enumeratio mag durchaus genügen; Anmerk. d. Verf./oder auch: edit#1) ist nur noch schwer auszuhalten? Man könnte auch frei nach Peter Lustig (R.I.P.= einfach abschalten. Es fehlt die Reduktion, die Kompensation in Form einer der Kondensation (Inhalte) auf die und der Sachebene. Oder wie es auch immer wieder heißt: wir können nichts daran ändern.
Falsch!
 
Wo hakt es also aus meiner Sicht? Wer mich kennt aus den Forum (und das sind 10000+ Beiträge über knapp 20 Jahre/online in Summe auch aus meiner Zeit als gefühlter Co-Admin bei geschätzt 16000-17000 registrierten Benutzer*innen btw. @Doc Tom / Ecke Hansestadt Hamburg: liest du eigentlich noch die, deine an dich adressierten Telegramme? Habe ihnen geantwortet. Sicherheitshalber auch hier die Mitteilung: ich habe keinen Doppelaccount; das wäre dort strafbar) schätzt meine blumige, schwungvoll beschwingt lustige und direkte, unverschwurbelte Ausdrucksweise. 
 
Also: was war los? Angefangen mit der "Ossi-Partei", oder den "Ossi-Parteien", die nichts kapiert haben, über die beiden - oder zumindest noch eine - große(n) "Wessi-Partei(en)" mit dem ihrem Behördenfetischismus (Kurzdistanzonkels) und der langatmig, langatmigen Bürokratiefalle (Schlafwagentriathleten), die langsam zuschnappt - danke an die Rentnerinnen- und Rentnervereinigung in Brüssel an dieser Stelle - der und die uns allen auf den Geist gehen und geht, bleibt nur noch grün zu wählen? Richtig? Richtig. Uns, den Leistungsträgern der Gesellschaft. Da jovial oder trivial-peripher, das Ziel verfehlend oder auch zu kurz gedacht, dort übergenau, übergut-gründlich oder auch kleinkariert wie pingelig über das angestrebte Ziel der für alle 27 EU-Länder juristisch verbindlichen Klimaneutralität (bis 2040, max. bis 2045) hinauszielend? 
 
Auf jemanden, der etwas leistet, kommen in aller Regel statistisch betrachtet zwei Kinder, drei Rentner und vier Kontrolleure? Am Besten wäre es also, die Mauer wieder hochzuziehen? Und die Bürokraten auszuweisen?
Spaessle!
 
Allerdings ist die FDP die einzige Partei, die in Sachen Klimaneutralität trotz Atomausstieg noch den Willen zum, und daher den Durchblick hat. Wählen wir also FDP. In der noch atomstromfreien BRD und in der - urplötzlich über Nacht - atomstromgrün gewordenen EU.
Stark für grün und gelb, ganz ohne rot.
P.S.: natürlich darf man auch blau, rot, rot-links, schwarz usw. wählen, die Tierwohl- und Tierschutzpartei oder auch die Grauen (Panther) oder auch wie zumindest hier vor Ort die kunterbunte Liste oder auch die Freien Wähler.
Bleibt ein Gruss an JENS-KLEVE: das war wohl nichts mit dir und der Gründung der einer Sportpartei. Den Großadmin FLOW, den ich stehe als Fahrer*in wieder zur Verfügung (z.b.V. falls man, ergo du so möchtest), falls der eine oder andere Kontrahent zu einer Weißweinschorle einbestellt werden müsste, sowie an meine hochgeschätzten Berufskollegen qbz, der seine Krebse (nicht Krätze) hoffentlich überwunden mit dem Hinweis, dass ich die Krankenakte von Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו nicht kenne. Also auch apropos -falls Du lieber Jürg, und damit meine ich dich ganz persönlich mitläsest- da hattest du etwas falsch verstanden, denn dass er, Hr. Netanyahu persönlich, einen Herzschrittmacher trägt ist publik, kam, ach ergo übrigens, by the way, im dt.-sprachigem, öffentlichen Rundfunk (Quelle: ARD) "on the ground", wie es heute bei den "jungen Menschen" heißt.
Bleiben noch vorzügliche Grüßen an die Herren Karsten K. und Renato M,. (a ka schnodo-lino) mit welchen ich auch sehr gerne auf fb noch nach wie vor befreundet bin. Liebe Grüße an dieser Stelle, denn ich glaube, ganz im Unterschied zu Hr. K. (gemeint ist, Zitat: "unser Archivar"), dass man grün (im Sinne von Schnodo drehte durch?) durchaus wählen kann. Liebe Grüße also nach Karlsruhe ins dortige Hallen- und Schwimmbad. 
 
Frohes Schwimmtraining also allen! Im sog. "Schwimmmonat" Februar, euch auch weiterhin.
Als Kurzdistanzonkel steige ich am kommenden Montag wieder ins Systemtraining im Sinne einer Mikro- und Meso-, und auch ganz vorsichtig und behutsam im Sinne der Makroperiodisierung als echter Schlafwagentriathlet (!) vor dem Herrn und im Internet wieder ein.
 
Verbleiben feundliche Grüße. +r/edit#2. Mit besten Absichten.
 
Euer, der
Trimichi 
 
(auch als Michum oder hier vor Ort als Isotopenmichl bekannt)
 
P.P.S.: hier überwintern und nisten die auch als "fliegende Ratten" bekannte Tauben oben im Dach. Daher habe ich keine Zeit mehr für edit#3, bitte sorry, weil diese Vögel - alle anderen füttere ich durch, denn als Vogelkundler (Ornithologe) fehlt es auch nicht an einer Vogeltränke - diese Vögel, die, auf die Markise (HEIM & HAUS / die Schleichwerbung) und auf den Balkon des Mittelstandslofts der Nation koten in großen Mengen, und von daher verscheucht werden müssen. Wobei ich mir das just überlege, dass Gegurre der friedlichen Tauben entspannt mich, nervt aber auch manchmal. Grüße damit auch in den Speckgürtel nach Stuttgart und damit ins Wohlstandswohlfühlwohnzimmer der Nation. Gechillt bleiben fällt schwer. Wegen der täglichen Vogelfütterung in Waldrandnähe, dem Gurren der Friedenstauben, und auch die Eichhörnchen und Wühlmäuse möchten Erdnüsse bekommen. Zumal die Maulwürfe bereits ganze Arbeit verrichtet haben im Garten und zudem eine "Buchenbaumfällung" (unzulässige Substantivierung), die Fällung oder auch Einkürzung einer Buche an- und wohl auch bevorsteht. Daher, um das noch kurz fertig auszuformulieren, kann ich den obigen Text vor dem P.P.S. nicht nochmalig editieren. Ich bitte also um Verstaendnis, zumal jetzt diese (molestius, -a, -um) lästigen "Friedenstauben", es sind wohl jetzt schon drei Tauben, und nicht wie anfänglich zwei Taube, mit dem Gurren aufgehört haben. Danke. +n / Tauben, nicht [sic] Taube.
 
b) in EN (from DE with deepL)
 
Please share. 

But beware: beware of irony (AI for short), possibly also in the sense of the so-called “ignore list.” Or simply just before the weekend, on what will hopefully be a work-free Friday at an early hour, among ourselves in the “Triathlon Forum/Addressees”: user - (my) political UPDATE. 

Dear forum members, f(d)b also belongs to the “Forum Romanum,” unfortunately. Or as the Latin scholar used to say: Cives Romanum sum.

Because there is no fragmented network. Not yet. Thanks to Sören Naujoks a ka flaix. Greetings in advance to my long-time opponents Arne and Kai, and to Jörn (Dr. jur.), the neutral observer whom I have come to hold in high esteem.

Dear friends, we are all triathletes, aren't we? Because the entire internet is a forum. Long story short?

I haven't spoken up for a long time, and the reasons are known to everyone in the forum. And for those who don't know me from the triathlon scene, I would like to point out that I have discussed and debated nationally and internationally with top athletes, both quantitatively and qualitatively. According to rumors, even the federal government has used my texts for the purpose of promoting the federal government's international reputation on the INTERNET.

And here, on the internet, I'm getting involved, because all this useless junk data and spam, as well as the media's overzealousness in traditional media (television, radio, daily newspapers; this brief enumeration should suffice; author's note/or also: edit#1) is becoming difficult to bear. One could also freely quote Peter Lustig (R.I.P.) = just switch off. What is missing is reduction, compensation in the form of condensation (content) to the factual level. Or as it is often said: we can't change anything about it. 
Wrong!
 
Dear friends, we are all triathletes, aren't we? Because the entire internet is a forum. Long story short?

I haven't spoken up for a long time, and everyone on the forum knows why. And for those who don't know me from the 
So where do I see the problem? 
 
Those who know me from the forum (and that's 10,000+ posts over almost 20 years/online in total, including from my time as co-admin with an estimated 16,000-17,000 registered users, btw. @Doc Tom / corner of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg: do you actually still read the telegrams addressed to you? I replied to them. Just to be on the safe side, here's the message: I don't have a double account; that would be a criminal offense there) appreciate my flowery, lively, cheerful, funny, direct, and unambiguous way of expressing myself. 
 
So: what happened? Starting with the “Ossi party,” or the “Ossi parties,”  who didn't understand anything, to the two—or at least one—big “Wessi party(ies)” with their fetishism for bureaucracy (short-distance uncles) and the long-winded, tedious bureaucratic trap (sleeping car triathletes) that is slowly closing in on us—thanks to the pensioners' association in Brussels at this point—which is getting on all of our nerves, is the only option left to vote green? Right? Right. Us, the high achievers of society. Whether jovial or trivial-peripheral, missing the mark or thinking too short-term, overly precise, overly thorough or even narrow-minded and nitpicky, aiming beyond the desired goal of climate neutrality (by 2040, max. by 2045), which is legally binding for all 27 EU countries? 

Statistically speaking, for every person who achieves something, there are usually two children, three pensioners, and four inspectors? So would it be best to put the wall back up? And expel the bureaucrats? 
Spaessle!

However, the FTP is the only party that still has the will and therefore the insight when it comes to climate neutrality, despite the nuclear phase-out. So let's vote for the FTP. In a Germany that is still nuclear-free and in an EU that has suddenly become green overnight.
 
Strong for green and yellow, without any red.
 
P.S.: Of course, you can also vote blue, red, red-left, black, etc., the Animal Welfare and Animal Protection Party or even the Grauen (Panther) or, at least here locally, the colorful list or even the Free Voters.

A shout-out to JENS-KLEVE: it didn't work out with you and the founding of a sports party. I am once again available as a driver for the grand admin FLOW (e.g., if you want me to), in case one or the other opponent needs to be summoned for a white wine spritzer, as well as for my esteemed colleague qbz, who has hopefully overcome his crabs (not scabies) with the note that I do not know Benjamin Netanyahu's medical records - בנימין נתניהו. So, apropos – if you, dear Jürg, and by that I mean you personally, are reading this – you misunderstood something, because the fact that he, Mr. Netanyahu personally wears a pacemaker is public knowledge, came, oh ergo by the way, in German-language public broadcasting (source: ARD) “on the ground,” as the “young people” say today.

Best regards to Karsten K. and Renato M. (a.k.a. schnodo-lino), with whom I am still very happy to be friends on Facebook. Best regards at this point, because I believe, quite unlike Mr. K. (meaning, quote: “our archivist”), that you can definitely vote green (in the sense of Schnodo went crazy?).  Best regards to Karlsruhe and its indoor swimming pool. 

Happy swimming training to everyone! In the so-called “swimming month” of February, and beyond. As a short-distance guy, I will be getting back into system training next Monday in the sense of micro- and meso-periodization, and also very carefully and cautiously in the sense of macro-periodization as a true sleepyhead triathlete (!) before the Lord and on the internet.

Best regards. +r/edit#2. With best intentions.

Yours,

Trimichi 

(also known as Michum or, here locally, as Isotopenmichl)
 
P.P.S.: The pigeons, also known as “flying rats,” spend the winter here and nest in the roof. That's why I don't have time for edit#3. sorry, because these birds—I feed all the others, because as an ornithologist, I also have a birdbath—these birds, which defecate in large quantities on the awning (HEIM & HAUS / the surreptitious advertising) and on the balcony of the nation's middle-class loft, have to be scared away. Although, come to think of it, the cooing of the peaceful pigeons relaxes me, but it also annoys me sometimes. Greetings to the affluent suburbs of Stuttgart and thus to the nation's affluent, comfortable living room. It's hard to stay chill. Because of the daily bird feeding near the edge of the forest, the cooing of the peace doves, and also the squirrels and voles want to get peanuts. Especially since the moles have already done a thorough job in the garden and, in addition, a “beech tree felling” (inadmissible nominalization), the felling or even shortening of a beech tree, is imminent and probably also imminent. Therefore, to briefly finish formulating this, I cannot edit the above text again before the P.P.S. I ask for your understanding, especially since these (molestius, -a, -um) annoying “doves of peace,” there are now probably three pigeons, and not two as initially, have stopped cooing. Thank you. +n / Doves, not [sic] dove.
 
3) FTP, that is File Transfare Protocol and thus future for IP, that is Internet-Power?
 

 
Or it is "Free Donald Trump from Presidency"? Jut joking. Vote the Likud, like we vote Likud either. If Israeli passport, in blue, of course.
 
Ty again, Sirs, have a blessed Saturday.
 
Cheers,

news in sport from the TitanMan

Dear readers,

like some of you might not know of my race at 44°C in Nice, France, the world-championate course in 2019, was not the very fact of 800 athlets did not finish that day. It was probably the most hard race ever, due to that 26,7% DNFs. 

What only few know is of ten screews in my left arm, like OMG (O. M. Gonzales) and friends from Morelia, Mexico, UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, whom I know from Ratisbon the open German Championate the year of 2016, that time in Nice, thus I it was a little like Star Wars Robot C3PO as of that titan in my left arm close to the jolt, with an L-shaped plate in. So they called me Titanman. Because of racing with L-Plate and 10 screws in my ellbow Palais de Angelis and finished. In October, 18 months after an accident with the mountainbike, plate and screews had been removed. All fine again with the left arm.

This is the valid document - I did finish.

Then I was an official IRONMAN announced by the moderator, valid by signature and Nice became World Championate location in the following. It is irony, 1st, that I did it before, and 2nd, that again I am called TITANMAN by my acquaintances here e.g. by Major Tom. Because of the bacterial infection and es of sports. There are eight screws in my spine, that fix that artificial disc in the very middle of the breast, that is titanium, too (cage). Last year I was allowed to compete olympic- and middle-distance, but I did not come back to the circus and races. Meanwhile I am allowed to even parachute-jump again. It is like nothing ever happened. Of course I confronted myself again and again, likewise a 1400k 14d stage bike-hike through Eastern Germany and Czechia last year. The implants hold for several decades. I am a model case. 20-30% die of infection, 70% sit in wheel-chair, and many of the remaining round about 5%, that are 400 cases out of 8000, have pain. Few from that 5% haven't. Meanwhile I don't have any, and feel like before. Sure, I won't become Yoga-Champion anymore. But am allowed to do everything even leg-press (...). Thats why the called mé Titanman for a second time, after that titan in the elbow. Thank you to top-spine-surgeon and top shoulder-shoulder surgeons at Germany top clinic (Focus Money 2024 awards). 
 
So what to do now with this new life? Actually I had triathlon-burnout. From 2006 to 2022 I competed 16 years, 10k, 21,1k, 42,2k, sprint, 5i50k 113k and 226k all distance finisher and may be, despite of training down, my body was not strong enough to fight bacteria. Some they it came in from the Baltic Sea others argue as of dentist. Maybe yes, maybe no. But stress and exhaustion, IMHO, are the second key factor besides the infection itself. The biologist, who found the right antibiotics the first try, thus thank you, too, he was like cool like surgeons and said that this is life and cause cannot be evaluated. So I really check all and have to agree. Meanwhile I am wanted for diagnosis concerning VO2max, lactate etc. - but I know I am 100.00% healthy. For sure I had to stop smoking, as another factor, and drinking beer, too. To be honest, from time to time I smoke a cigarillo and permit myself a beer closing time after. However, sport and alcohol and tobacco mismatch, in general and in my case in general and in special, esp. if I go race hard.
 
That is way I do not race hard anymore and moreover no more 226k like in Nice that time. Friends, who have also doctor title, said I should compete again in order to make sure it isn't a problem even aeroposition on carbon frame time trial bike. By the way: I also have meanwhile as of special merits I deserved Doctor h.c. (honoris causa). May be I make another doctor, and that is ironically, for my research in stress and sports, that is applied by German University to do so. For 2,5 years now. Thus, I can lecture a lot. Thus many of my acquaintances told be I have to make something out of it. Lecture of God, or psychology, mind-sets, the hard why and having had big luck and fortune, likewise German GSG_9 said at their 50 years meeting of that time in 1972 it was 50% luck and 50% KSAO (knowledge, skills, abilities, other meassurable factors). So to say. I am inline with Lance Armstrong, who's survival chance was 1,0 to 1,5% with that kind of cancer:
 
"You have two options in life both emotionally and medically: give up or fight like hell." L.A. 
 
Sure, a biological infect isn't cancer, but the pain is grey, terrible and awful. And you cannot let your guard down, only shortly before operations to fully relax and let go, as of the bacteria is to be fought by discipline, will and unbending intent. 
 
May be I might add a third component: 
 
"When you are dying and all the people around you do worry and are despaired, this wind pushes me up and makes me smile."- little L.A. 
 
Me, I was called little L.A. from old friend in my beginnings. Or Lance Lorence, too, had to struggle that time with similar things compared to Lance Armstrong. One day I write a but titled: from Madman to Ironman. Not in here. So what I leave for all others here is my experience with that. Actually I needed to find own words. The truth is of William -not the USAF Europacommander, whos name is William, too, I shook his hand - but Jonathan Frakes a ka William T. Riker from STAR TREK TNG, Commander of the Enterprise 1701-D. His words had been, when an infection on his feet made his way up to his head and paralyzed him more and more: "Death is a serious affair and someone who looses his humor  confronted with is a fool!". So me, little Lance, I agree to Lance Armstrong, fight emotionally, medically like hell, yes, but don't forget humor. Maybe doping causes cancer, maybe IRONMAN-triathlon triggers biological infects? Well, I cannot speak out for L.A., but as a Doctor of psychology I know to mention of factors analysis and multivariate variance analysis. Thus, there are many input parameters. Psychologist on that level (it are 2000 pages mere mathematics in small letters at least) calculate main effects, but the increment of additional variance that cannot be explained by interaction-effects 1st, 2nd, or 3rd or even higher orders, too. Doping might be the tip on the scales. Beer and cigarettes, in combination with "triathlon-burnout" might be the tip on the scales. Biologist would repeat what he said already of that is simply life and cancer specialist would mention good and bad luck. Thus, many specialists around and all are right. But really, I would really take death easy, it is uncomfortable to die, yes, but you don't have to be afraid of. You can laugh, and doctors might wonder. However, that kind of joy might be the increment, too, in order to survive. At least you stay strong inline with top doctors and keep your head up, thus you are able to make the right decisions. It was a little risky, yes, but surgeon recommended. I could have been it in wheel chair, yes. I could have been lost my right arm, yes. So I did follow top-doctors' recommendations, yes, but I was I myself, by humor, in order to decide. In other words: intelligent training thrumbs volume (that means you have to understand what you do). Later that some surgeons said it was brave. Later I found out of that kind of surgeons'-technique was invented in Switzerland 20 years ago and can be done since 2015 with titanium coated cages. Please do compare the study of: Baumgartner, 2015. Just in case you are interested. Is free to download. So then? All fine? All fine. Fine? Really? What about: da capo?
 

 
here we go: fast and fabulous 50yrs+ 


Well, 8-9 months infection after I was said to have successfully fought the bacteria in 2025, and now, 18 months after I believe I really can do all again. Like it was that time in early 2019. Thus, all fine. Of course there is no need to take risks. As both IRONMAN & TITANMAN. What does that mean in numbers?
 
In former times a preparation to competion was a 9-10 monthes span of time with base-level activity and built-stages, than tapering and peek (race): Now, it are 3-5 monthes span of time with base-level activity, mainly, and short accellerations (sprint during base-level activity), and HIIT (high intensity intervall training), and for sure training with weights became more important likewise gymnastic (stabilisation). But: no more lactate tolerance that much, no more built-stages with high intensity over several weeks, and no more so-called key-sessions.  I can be top3 Germany mastery olympic-distance (5i50). But I don't want to. More over a new time trial bike costs 10000$ and what for? Like Mexican manager are true in affairs of watts. A carbon frame brings 2-3 minutes along 180,2k. At professional level. Now guess of how much is such a bike in advantage in minutes compare to aluminium, chrome-molybdane, titan- or even iron-frame along 40k? 45 seconds? And 1000$ for a new swim sui along 1500m instead of 3860m? 15 secs. Sure, it might be 5 minutes is psychological, too, togehter with new aero-geeks, to call it like this. The olympic distance 5i50. 
 
If all well and reinvest I could make it on the podium (masters, age group M50-55). But what for? People at the ceremony would applaud, may be some few know me or that kind of story now, that can happen to anyone, nothing special. See? So my PB is 2:19 h min in 2019. Now I go for 2:50 h min. Without neo-suit, no time trial, but gravel-bike I do transport my tent to Lake of Roth on it on Friday, enjoy the festival, league and pupils race the professionals on Saturday, and demount the cargo-loader for the age-group race German mastery the Sunday. 
 
Like in good old times of triathlon. Everyone, who does cross the finish-line is a winner.
 
Cheers, 
Mike .
 
 

 

 

election time and shabbat shalom / FDP = FTP likewise File Transfer Protocol

  My dear friends, like everyone in the holy country, that is Israel, both the nation and the state, knows is of election time the most shit...
