A change of the paradigm?

Dear readers, dear followers all over the globe, dear Sirs, 

first of all let me mention of this blog and my home-page: www.michael-lorenz.com/wp is listed in the United States of America (USA) said to ne aa unsecure domain. Second, the German_gov is using my sites' contents "in order to regain values and prestige in the international internet to stabilize Germany's position in the world wide web [e.g. of security, stability and safety INT]". Is it mere bs on here or what is it? What about values in the internet? Like cheating, faking, lying, distortion, stealing IDs by eagerness, envy and big Ego - for heaven's sake - for equality of course? But where is the counterpart like authenticity, selective authenticity, truth, sportmanship, competition, concurrence, courage, discipline and fairplay? On here? What and where are the rules in the Internet? Dirceted by MI? Or what? Everthing is allowed, but nothing is possible? Likewise a fat, unemployed human that is a moviestar that climbed on the top, Mt. Everest for sure, and for what, as of no MIMIMI, equal rights and justice? For sure? For sure such a person has to slide all the way down like the man did on his own crap and shitted on the houses' roof for that purpose before. What a long tracks of shit! To copy style is allowed, and really, suckers are plenty, too many that it seems like copying is the only true art, besides of the profound production of mere bull shit, nowadays, in the internet.

Thus, 3rd, those who can read are in the advantage. Likewise fathers - here in Germany it is fathers' day today and all men hike around with lot of beer - and sons, uncles, auntys, mothers and daugthers, dear triathetes, Ironmen, managers, consulters, athletes, bureaucrates, business-men, stock holders and so fourth here in Europe, especially in Germany, sure but also in France, or Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland and Austria and so fourth, but also transatlantic and transpacific, in the United States and Autralia, Canada, South Afrika and Guadeloupe, Cambridge, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, no matter where, this is still Trimichi, a cosmopolitan, just like Jenny, but Michi from the block.

Well, we all had had to undego a great development in our sports, that is widely known in develpement in constructions especially in areodynamics, but also in races' sizes and formats, like e.g. mixed-sprint relay became popular on TV or the latest great success of the company of IRONMAN having splitted the world championships in a two year circle (Nice and Hawaii). 

 

This is the most best advanced developement. Helmet (an not so Hamlet ... :D) has white slats on its surface in order to create minimized laminar flow resistance.


Hello again also to those, who switched of and returned to a new area, an area of triathlon without the internet. In America it is slowtwitch, here it was 3athlon (namegiver of this blog, but not only) and then the triathlon-scene page, most biggest internet-communities in Europe and most of activity by an amout of 15000 members. But what for? Having found a true challange in international research at university, at Hagen, the German top university likewise Harvard is in America, approved by representatives of the German Association for Psychology (DGP), that is the aquivalent of the American Psychological Association (APA), well, what to do? Let´s make a pilots single choice question out of it, the solution is the motiv on the last picture. Like triathlon research is open for anyone. Anyone can do, everything is possible.

Thus, what the hell should someone do if both a triathlete and researcher (or a student in his best years)?

A) follow the dictum of the b3-rule, of course: bicylcle, bed and bathroon. In order to be easy, creativ and innovative, relaxed and powerful, sober-minded and slept well.

B) using "posing, porn and triathlon", the dictum of old school values and interests, as of ideas are ideas, but stuff has to be sold like time-trial suits, helmets, shoes, nutrinations and all the merchandizing has to be balanced and, instead of the English dress code might indicate like a suit sells sex sells even more to the stock exchange holders balance is fine.

C) Well, well: do the the letters LMAA tell you anything? L..k my arse of you all? Is this familar to you, isn't it?

Here we go as of core values of triathlon are not posing, showing off, or likewise suits and sex sells! Likewise a peacocks feathers that look excellent but make the animal unable to fly. So what is it, meanwhile, as of the internet? A big circus of hens and roosters making "gag gag gag" and "kikeriki" all night long? Just forget, the community is fed like "foreign feathers do not grow back." To finish a 10k-run in 55 Minutes with all that stuff like Garmin-watch, compression socks, gore-tex, functional wear etc. pp. is not having finished a swim bike run - competition 226k, is it? Woe betide you! Suckers, imitators and foolowers! Kind regards to Russia by the way, Moskau, St. Pete and Novo. As well as to the Pinas, or in China, Columbia and California, Chihuahua and even Michoachan - not so Acapulco and Cuba - where all the smartphoners (handy is short for handcarchief) use triathlon and sport applications (long word for the short word app, like "app app app" coming from apes behaviour like "gag gag gag" coming from hens') are spread like virus' outbreak, are located, too. So where is Kai Baumgartner, Arne & Jörn Dyck or Dan Empsfield with a true Kikeriki! Or an Ahihihiaaah! Where? 

Arrrgghhhhh! See you in training and competitions? Or what? Multiple choice question with X solutions out of three? Is it all correct? Are it? Or is there a fourth the correct answer? Like a syaing for e.g. like

D) home f..king is killing prostitution like drafting is share hold the value?

 

 

 

 Of course, not so. E is the true answer: hang lose.


No matter how no matter where, remember when you started, think of all who need assistance and guidance, help and support, like the most best things are 4 free, e.g. the internet. Above all, do not forget what is most important: life. 


Bye.

Sweet home Bavaria...- where the skies are so blue & white.

 

Time came, time went by and me? Still there? Still there. Well, all I can say is that I am a triathlete.

Having found a true home in Germany in the South, Bavaria, especially Franconia is ideal for endurance sports. Having left all that business' behind it is time to get busy in affairs of triathlon, is it? Like so many retired. To find fun in hobby again? 





Here you can go running in summer and skiing in winter.


Anyway, it are strange times and it is not of disadvantage to be be fit, swim bike run. May be I do install after-burner into my bike below the saddle, hyrdogen-tank in the frame. ;) 

Hopefully I can report about sport again the next posts the blog was constructed and made for in its origin. Thus, a fifth value hasto be added, imho:

5. Triathlon clears your brain of everyday worries and the thoughts of monetary monsters.

Sincerely in sports and with finest regards to the sport.

Bye.

at special disposal

Well now, 

having found my peace, academic degree, challenges in life and sport after, adventures, too, and being glad to know having good, few friends here in Germany, happily healthy, and rather fit both bodily and physically, financially independend and almost recovered from injury, I can live in secured poverty as a 49 yrs old male. 

Take a close look! 

There are two main-trends in Germany. First, many people of my age are ready, ready to die. That doesn't mean they seek death, but they are satisfied with life and if death comes tomorrow they do not mind. Life in Germany became hard for Germans, cold, almost no warmth, robotlike. More and more, thus Germans are not used to such a kind of life having very little gladness in life, only, like Americans are used to since the middle of the 90ties at the latest. Second, a huge amount of people this country here does start writing books. Stories that stem from life, memoirs, others simply do start write about a little truth they found out, even more, by putting these three, experience, knowledge and truth together.

 

 Do I have to look like a robot telling the truth?

 

Do I? No. Not so. No, I don't.

No need to write books or work like hell in order to live robotlike like so many do transatlantic. Not only. Even in Spain, nowadays. And for what? Money, status-symbols, recognition in order to show prove of being wealthy like somehow like: Hey there and look! Have a look at my new electric car! E.g.. Sorry, this is hooked to stone-age, and me, as an academic, as a graduated psychologist it is easy to make this prove. We do not need to show off in order to present and defend our self and thus place in the social hierarchy, we do not need "to breed", reproduction and offspring, and most tricky, we do not need all that human pettiness. No need! To show off being sexy and status and to prove being someone special in affairs of individuality is style like 10000 years in the past but being put to the world wide web (internet) moreover. Puh! This really sucks. What to do? Well, actually I wanted to travel around the world. To leave that human pettiness, let's call it like this, all behind.  Having found a good home here in Germany, I feel like I never have done a triathlon. Having found peace it is like to start at zero. In affairs of triathlon. Let's see what season brings triathlon-boom after? Triathlon became expensive. Inflation is hard to overcome. Maybe I have to give 'em a lesson by low-budget thrumbs luxury? 

Well, there is something new a third category of people here in Germany. Those, who totally deny anything: total objectors. And rigthly so. No need to engage in jobs to finance weapons and weapon industries, lno need to go abroad for other peoples' advantages and wallets, no need for huge consum as of climate-catastrophee, but low-budget. 


When Thomas Hellriegel won the IRONMAN world-championships on Hawaii 1997 the first time as a German and military champion, Normann Stadler and Faris Al-Sultan followed, and when Sebastian Kienle 17 years later did so, too, Jan Frodeno and Patrick Lange followed, well, after 17 years on tri, me, who started swim bike run in 2006, today, anno 2024 I can understand champions' wordings, despite of the fact of never being fast enough to start and make good result on Big Island. But Nice.

Much more better than to follow that the two new mega-trends in society and all that mind-sets does sound the following:


1. It is a privilege to do triathlon (Tom Hellriegel). 
 
2. Triathlon is the most hardest way of easy living (Sebi Kienle). 
 
3. You can't buy happiness, but you can do triathlon and that is even much more better (the unknown triathlete).
 

Living in America you might like to add a 4th saying, nowadays in Germany as well? 

 

4. Triathlon is a post-apocalyptical survival skill. 

 

For sure, it is. We will see how it comes. Of course it isn't of disadvantage to be fit and Baltic Sea Man ahead this year in 2024, long-distance competition, not only open for policemen, soldiers of any kind of weapons' category (SF e.g.) and for civillians, too, ty. 


Anyway:

 Do not worry America - the moon is always above you.

 

Sure, life is hard, esp. if one needs to be fit in order to be fit for being fit nuclear strike after. ;)


preps - 25k hiking with 10k backpack

Having found my peace again as of acceptance of that crazy sheet, thus shock and respect in one thing, but good vibs, also by the public in ...
