The summer is approaching, the temperatures are rising - is reason enough to swim in warm clothes to slip. In any event, if you are as ambitious runners sporting variety studied, the first time for a triathlon training and open water swimming is concentrated on. Because, first of many triathlons will not pool, but outside (lake, sea, lake and pond) geschwommen. And secondly, there is also in the wet summer pretty fresh. Without a proper swimming Pelleport is because even nix.

Triathlon Training: Even in midsummer sometimes fresh
Newcomers are familiar with the black Pelleport only surfer films or documentaries about deep sea divers in the Arctic. And now will you do such a thing publicly take a walk, in broad daylight, without a surfboard, and without air bottle? But: It works, as from my own experience I can report. Before you jump into the water was the purchase of racehorses Pelle.
Since I was extremely embarrassed, me swimming in the only business of my home town of trial by various neoprene sleeves to torture, I moved my purchase on the Internet. After extensive comparisons and the intensive study of several forums, neoprene, I finally purchased a "Shorty" - which means a Neo with short arms and short legs. He arrived on time by mail, until the first triathlon remained a week.
Even more embarrassing than fitting in my business was, however, the test swim in the new sports outfit. The summer had now reached its zenith, and the temperatures were already in the late morning, at almost 30 degrees in the shade. Given this outlook could weather and I wanted the best will not be in the outdoor neopreniert lawn pool progressing to the swimmers and there in the field of view slightly bikini-clad beauties masked my laps.
FRIENDSHIP WITH ACHIM
Heinrich Völkel / Ostkreuz
Germany's cult runner is now in one of the largest communities on the web: Visit Achim on Facebook, will be his fan and never miss his columns or more readings. On Twitter you can also live, so what else is driving Achim: sweating or Training tails?
Unfortunately, the only beach on the lake this summer, only closed for renovations. There, at least at night I would have a trial swim. So I did nothing other than me at home in the Pelleport to squeeze into the shower to get off and running hot water bath with the first Kraul exercises to begin. The fact that I have several Duschbadflaschen, the soap dish and, finally, the wall mount for the showerhead from the anchor pulled, it was barely bearable. Much worse was the sight of my wife Holden, her husband in the whole house was looking wild and rowing in the rubber suit in the shower took place. It took me many, many explanatory words, in order to restore domestic peace.
Then approaching the day of the competition. I felt at that time, despite my lack of bicycle equipment magnificently. Motto: Better in the badly dressed seated wetsuit than almost naked in the embarrassing swimsuit. Among several hundred other triathlon enthusiasts, I stood in the middle of the Ruhr area in my neo-Pelleport at the launch site next to the Dortmund-Ems Canal. The excitement grew, my gaze wandered through the Neo-Scharnstein.
Establishing long-Models in Model-dressed athletes with a view siegessicherem spontaneously gave me the impression that I am in my footling Short-short pants will never be part of this elitist sport would include upper. Fortunately stood beside me a man named peers such as Klaus. He had not only the same model as me. He is also on the network until anden, and it was for him his first triathlon. We would quickly agree jointly to last and so the burden of the other approaches.
What I have in the sample-standing under the shower had not noticed: The suit, in step too closely cut, pinched me in the swim between his legs. Well, that crawl in the face is mostly under water. Because Wetsuits expensive and time the races are manageable, I have in my step-limitation Neo five races and at least three times as many sample completes swim. But eventually I decided to finally cash in a sensible long-Neo to invest.
ACHILLES-NEW BOOK
Finally, it is so far: Germany's runners have the perfect excuse for the tedious pace of training to tails. You must first of Achilles-the new book. Germany's funniest amateur runners has its columns to a new piece of forest and meadow run literature zusammengetackert: "Learn to walk without suffering" is available now in a good assortment of ramps and remains in blogs shop. The question "Can you actually run without having to suffer?" Achim normally answered philosophically: "You can, but it is not fun anymore." The 224 pages in the pocketbook is strong Heyne-Verlag and costs 7,95 Euro.
In the shop (yes, I am now familiar with my penchant for wet even to the public) fit the thing as a one. And neoprene body were a unit, no tweaks, or scrubs threw wrinkles. And the water situation is designed with the whole-Neo sensationally good: It took only half as much energy to swim as in a swimsuit.
However, I quickly noticed that the entrance into the hull at the now renovated lake was much more difficult than in store. Will read: Without outside help, and I came in not only the thing (unless I wanted to swim with an open zipper, and after going under ten meters). Therefore, I have accustomed myself, only for very good, so hot summer weather in my wet suit to slip. Since then bathers always there, giving me back the zipper can be pulled shut.
However, on cloudy days or even drizzle I completely renounce neo-up training. It is simply too silly to me, 60 minutes in the drizzle with half-lowered Pelleport herumzustehen and scattered on a bad-swimmers to wait for me when tightening helps. For a suitable Neo, in the locker hineinschlüpfen I may be missing me (yet) the prize money. Therefore I rank in competitions too often in "also swam" ...
