First ride in winter mode

Ok, today I did my first ride in winter mode. This is - riding in short spandex trousers in the "Chamber of torture" for about 50 minutes my race bike. This is no fun. So I was preparing my self with my laptop, WIFI and headphones. Completely prepared (looking at some youtube videos about bike messengers for motivation) I started pedaling...

Some warm up...

Getting more warm ...

 Ok - right heart rate 😁 


 And next time I need to figure how to place this video - that you can watch it .... 

At the end - around 538 kcal burned. Well this was the last number I have seen, before I dumped the data on my garmin device by not saving the trip. Instead of "Save" I pressed "Discard". I think because my fingers were jittering. The plan is to have these extra 500kcal burned per day by riding, jogging or whatever for about 2 weeks. Then going to around 1000kcal extra per day. Goal is to loose weight and get fit over the winter for snowboarding and everything else.

Bike to Work - now this is getting serious

Image
So, taking a long time thinking about buying a E-Bike for my daily commute, I finally did it. Yesterday my ordered Giant Quick E+ arrived at the dealer. I've got a email message and almost couldn't wait for picking it up. The bike supports me till  around 45km/h. This way I can almost go with 33-35 km/h in average. This means almost one hour faster, than with my "normal" mountainbike on my commute.  My commute is about 46 km one way - so, going by my normal mountain bike was sometimes hard. However - I love to ride my bike, therefore I figured - ok - with an E-Bike you are faster but - to be fast, you need to pedal as you do before with your normal bike. This means still sports 😊.  Here we go:  As I live in Germany - I need to insure this bike. Here it is seen as a small motorbike because of the support till 45 km/h. It is hard to see, but on the rear - there is a number plate .... . Yes. This is Germany. Also I got a back mirror, although this is actuall...

Weitwinkel Sonnenaufgang --- 365 Tage Fotoprojekt -- Tag 59

Image
Sonnenaufgang 6:41 Uhr. Homeoffice. Bin gerade am email sichten. Mein Frau aus der Küche . “Hm, der Himmel ist ganz dunkel rot dahinten…”. Braucht kurz einen Moment bis das Gehörte ins Gehirn dringt - und bei dem Fotografen in mir ankommt. Ich drehe mich um und schaue aus dem Fenster. Tatsächlich. Der Horizont ist dunkelrot gefärbt. Das sieht gut aus - sehr gut sogar. Aber ich habe nur Homeoffice Comfy Sachen an ( also schlabberigerer JoggingAnzug samt BadHair Day). Egal - die alpha geschnappt. Weitwinkel ist noch drauf. Ab ins Auto, Scheibe kratzen ?, nein so kalt war es die Nacht doch nicht. Auf eine etwas erhöhte Stelle gefahren. Aber die Zeit ist gegen mich. Das dunkelrote ist schon einem orange gewichen. Sehr kurze Zeitspanne die da nur bleibt. Schade. Auch die Umgebung gibt jetzt nicht soviel her. Bleibt der Himmel. Die Bilder sind Out of Camera - nur etwas beschnitten, da es doch etwas weitwinklig war. Nicht so richtig was für das Auge. Beim ersten noch etwas besser mit dem...

Running 02.07.2017

Today I was running in the morning, flat terrain, flat pace, almost flat heartrate. Need to loose weight. Besides increasing sports overall, I need to seriously check my daily calorie intake - and what I eat for this intake. Today I do eat to much carbos - and to less protein. I try to turn this around.
