Acute Renal Failure Bun

Out of Shape?

this weekend we start yes - along with my 3 Cyclassics sidemen Steve, Heiko and Flo and a new, unknown Cervélo-Dame, we will be on Saturday the IC climb Gene Munster at the date of to deny the German unit, the 125-km round of the Münsterland Giro.

permitted Today the weather in Hamburg again a practice round, so I pack up my office together in time, I dress in long functional textiles and mount the bike on my R3 to the known 60 km round to move again in conclusion.

fast And I notice that I somehow completely out of shape-bin. It is cold, it's a little wind, but that's not what I braked. Since the Cyclassics in August, I was long, not more "right" training. How to feel asleep on my legs, even though I am on every meter that I can pass on my road bike, look.

I pass the harbor, picked apart the wild-romantic Wind thick clouds packets over me. Then along the bank until William Castle, where I after the Elbe crossing finally find gene Winsen-Luhe my calm and nimble can boost.

Flott it goes ahead, shoot me in front of a mountain bike with triathlon-Review on the road - I get the!

I step and step work, I ran slowly. It hurts to bite ic h, at some point I have it on. High as he sits on his silver Conway, wearing a backpack, creating powerful wind shadow, which I exploited to catch something old! I'm done!

I pull over at some point salute, nice. Then I sit down in front of him ... and do not come away! The 12 kilo-MTB stay tuned to me. Quiet boost his calves, which are thicker than my chest, next to me. 5 minutes I think it is out in the wind, he overtook me again.

He smiles gently.
Ouch! That hurt.

42 km / h is on my Garmin Forerunner and I have to bite, even in the wind shadow on him to stay tuned. Not a good omen for the Müsterland Giro. At some point, just before flying mount, I turn away.

managed 20 km - the remaining 10 to the turning point Hoopter ferry I can save. Alone go back. Legs like lead. Thoughts as tar.
An hour later - and as it is already dark, I can luminosity my new Cateye Funzel try out - I get to my apartment.

I'm happy, but also ready, steaming in the shower and wonder how the hell I want to argue with this (non) form the 125-km race. The Giro will be - 125 km and 700 meters. In 2 days.

And - I dry from now - two weeks later, the time trial Hamburg-Berlin. 275 km. Non-Stop. And how that is to me now is still a mystery.

But now ... first a glass of red wine ...



hazards: 40.65 km in 1:32 GROSS with a 26.4 gross average it. Good grief!

Why Does My Smoke Dector Keep Beeping

New cleats on the Block

Well, as far as wars: After almost 3,700 miles on my Cervelo road bike to my Shimano SPD-SL cleats from already fairly battered.

No, no, do not work perfectly, but you never know. And I've always re-covered for the fall season (with arm warmers, for example), I resorted to simply and bought new cleats.

But that must be thought sometimes, if you are in town (and since I drive an estimated 70% of my kilometers) about 5 times per kilometer ausklickt and then the ... 12 950 Please click operations. So click in

12 950 times.
click-in/click-out 12 950 times.

And then, the remaining 30% go I cross-country, long distance, where I click a little, but certainly all the 5 km even in and out. So come again ... 222 klick times click-in/click-out 222 times.

26 344 clicks.
Hicks.
Wow, I'm here and I will be aware of the dimension.

What must leave this tiny plastic parts so pass over him? And those are just the clicks. How often climb down and run with the awkward Klicki like a newly born or like a drunken penguin diving for Currywurst stand or to pee?

How often creaks and cracks it, if we go down the basement stairs on rough concrete to road bike?

So, let's face it, in the face of it - bow I am in front of the cleats. And the new set first wish a lot of fun. Lowered it is the way the Münsterland Giro on 3 October - where I'm going with them to the start.

Because Good is clicked half the battle!

Water Coming Back In My Toilet

the Olympic Museum in Cologne

business have indeed a good thing - because sometimes burst appointments or turn out, they are less time consuming than expected. Just like yesterday, I stroll about the dmexco fair in Cologne, see everything I need to see and ... fffffuuuuuiiiiiii ... is clock 12:30. Still time to the second date.

So on to the Olympic Museum - see what it has to offer cycling technology.

Not much, it was once said the same. But what they have is very interesting: For example, the Zipp 2001, one of the first aero-enhanced time trial bikes in the world. Yes, correct belongs, Zipp has designed a framework that time itself and yet built.

An extreme machine in all respects. And even though almost 10 years old this frame looks as if it was only just rolled out of laboratories and design offices. No seat tracks, tropfenförrmige Rohquerschnitte, extreme position, fully enclosed drive. Chic part!

Only the color I would have chosen differently ...

So I stroll through the Olympic history, see artifacts and photos, clothes, Boxing gloves, a four-man, a lot of posters and billboards and ... then ... yes I stand in front of the pink jersey as the overall winner of the Peace Race, which will one day all of our Idol Olaf Ludwig in the worn "Tour de France of the East".

Well, look, it still smelled of something cycling history.

And even some old childhood memories of the exciting live coverage of the race Berlin-Prague-Warsaw on DDR-1 Reawaking.

was worth it very much, the Olympic Museum. A little tip, if you travel with your heart Women's Right next to the chocolate museum ...

sleep hygiene

Optimum temperature
During sleep, the body lowers its temperature to provide energy for restorative functions and digestion save. Is it too warm, the body can only lower the temperature by sweating, that is uncomfortable and interferes with sleep. The best sleeping temperature is about 16-18 ° C. Before going to bed so sufficient ventilation, which also ensures sufficient oxygen in the air and promotes healthy sleep. Just make sure to not get cold, very cold feet are detrimental to good sleep. A warm bath, it helps the body reduce its temperature and provides for corporal and mental relaxation. should go


nutrition
three hours before bed to eat anything heavy, fatty or spicy more. With a full stomach increases the body temperature, as mentioned above, the harm of sleep. At the same time one should also not empty Stomach or go to bed hungry. A poorly thought out and not very nutritious food diet leads to an inefficient sleep. Just before going to bed, light meals, such as fruits have much meaning, especially mango, cherries, pineapple, nuts and bananas have a positive effect on sleep, because they contain tryptophan, serotonin and melatonin. Tryptophan in the body can synthesize the happiness hormone serotonin, which in turn is synthesized into the sleep hormone melatonin.


drug
Nicotine is not only bad for your body and mind, but also for sleep. The nicotine hit makes for a difficult entry into deep sleep and impairs their depth and length, the result is a restless sleep and lack of resilience. A few hours after falling asleep, it is also starting to make withdrawal symptoms, the good sleep impossible. Although alcohol is said to have a relaxing and calming effect, but does the quality of sleep is decreasing considerably. Even low doses relaxes the muscles of the throat and thus ensure breathing difficulties, such as snoring and sleep apnea. At the same time disturbing effect on the central system to switch Never sleep phases and the diuretic effect disturbs the sleep through the night, usually you can only sleep a few hours and wake up in the middle of the night and can not for a few hours more sleep. An alcohol Amount under 20g for men and 12g for women is a normal person, as the safe-Comply a glass of wine, 1-2 400ml brandy or beer for a man, however rich, these quantities already made to disturb the sleep, when the subjective feeling of many people is contrary to the.
objections to the use of caffeine is actually nothing wrong with that, only that: according to personal sensitivity should be about four hours before bedtime no more caffeine consumed, and should be absolutely avoided entirely during pregnancy.


interior design
The bedroom should be quiet and pleasant Atmosphere prevail. The less furniture, the better, if you are able, you should make even the closet in another room. Attachments are taboo, especially desks, computers, telephones, file cabinets. The bedroom is the space of peace, nothing you should remember to work or unpleasant things. Electrical equipment should also be avoided if possible, an alarm clock and stereo make an exception and some people are sensitive to electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields, it is not scientifically clear whether this assessment is only imagined or actually true. This commonly called electromagnetic pollution is suspected of the influence of the hormone melatonin and the central nervous system. has been proved so far only one thermal manipulation of the tissue. In each case, therefore, advisable not to place electrical equipment in the immediate proximity of the head. The bedroom should of course be possible dark and quiet. The standby light electrical appliances you can stick with black tape and can help against unavoidable noise ear plugs and soft music. Quiet music is more relaxing and easier to fall asleep.


Optimal sleep time
The sleep duration is on each other, normal is 6-10 hours. Seven hours are considered optimal, and people with seven hours of sleep the highest life expectancy. If the day until noon on the depth, not tired and feel fit and relaxed, you sleep long enough. Even if there are only five or even eleven hours, you must not go out from an illness. Einstein and Goethe should have both slept almost 12 hours, Napoleon and Churchill are to be got by with less than five hours. Both should have had some polyphasiche habits. Who more than seven hours sleep must also have in mind not that he thereby reduces his life expectancy, for it is possible that many people a frequently unrecognized disease leads to the increased need for sleep. So the sleep of the disease that shortens life expectancy is longer and not longer sleep triggers the disease. The personal Schläfbedürfnis can not change or wegtrainieren. So if you force permanently to less sleep is a health risk. The total sleep time can be shortened only by sleep is more efficient. In this way it is with polyphasic sleep can make do with only two hours a day. In the course of life the need for sleep at night is steadily decreasing. Older people sleep more deeply and so long as younger people. The still believe the usual need for sleep have to lead many to to sleep, depression and senile bed escape. A shorter night sleep time often provides a remedy to use without having to sleeping pills. Sleepiness during the day may be covered with a nap. The total sleep time is not very different from younger people. It turns out however that there is the age a return to a polyphasic pattern as it is for young children, of course

Herpes Genital Nalgas Fotos

Waseberg - my first time.

A bit of remorse I already, I must admit. For I had Angela as saying "Tomorrow - 10:00 clock - feel like a short bike-round?" invited via SMS. That would develop it into a calf muscle murderous brute captain, had I concealed.

Well, in my defense: the Waseberg I had honestly not on the plan.

And so we meet in the morning - after all, is Saturday, and on a day when they would otherwise sleep to take a Quäldichein, ten times cost more to overcome than getting up on Monday at 6: 30 Clock.

Angela looks a little too excited, looks a bit bargain not fresh, as we meet Palmaille.

Locker is still empty it first on the road towards Wedel Blankeneser from the city, we have arranged to drive a lap along the bank - I reckon before her easy 50 kilometers. She does not trust me.

correction.

For after we arrived at the Shell gas station, I decide (in a good reminder of the Cyclassics) drive straight ahead but not to the left: The Koester mountain, which should at least be in it!

you panting murmurs, and makes great eye - but she bites through.
think we reached the top. Breathe through. And it seems to me the idea: Waseberg, I want the Waseberg!

often sought, never found and heard so many horror stories: Now I will know it even once. Angela silent.

We ask a postman, where it would go to the hardest pitch for Hamburg. The only smiles and says: "Down by the shore long, next up ... you want next to you about a little torture"
"Yes!" I cry with joy.
Angela's face falters.

And then we turn the corner, I can now even the switch to the mountain path, we face a wall. And when I write wall, I mean wall.

Sure, 15% slope - this is an abstract number sounds like "very little". Sounds like "there is still much room to the 100th "As I said -.... sounds like the only way in reality everything is much worse

goes before us it straight up a ramp just 600 meters does not sound much back yards -.. not even" Kilo ... "in front of 600 meters dollop

I See you in the pedals to get up and everything give Behind me I hear Angela ausklickt And I spit already alveoli -... have not done it the first meter of Old Swede, I think ??. me, and that here the pros do FOUR TIMES IN A ROW

some point sets the brain's service All the blood, all oxygen, all ATP molecules - in the legs, give substance: stop, end - and even re- engage to continue: nil. Here you have high - or run.

Eventually I went up. An eternity. Two, three days later, so it feels at least. Through my three layers of shirts, you can see through my heart beating - well, knock. More of a jump. A hectic booming. 200 pulse. So that's that.

I breathe. It rattled the bronchi. White is hot breath against my face.

I look down. In the photo, I think, you will not be able to see, but I pull out my phone and tremulous light on what opens up there below me: a brutal black hose, a dark abyss, wet and slippery. Far away yet recognize I am Angela and I wonder whether they comply with the slippery cleats does not have it much harder to walk than hochzukurbeln same.

take barely: So this is the Waseberg. Hell of the North. Hats off! Everything hurts.

"shit on the wall," I'll call in moist thickets.
A little girl looks up briefly from their mobile phone. Then she types on their SMS.

About faded "JAN" graffiti that once cheered the fallen heroes of cycling, up to shoot this ramp more quickly, she pushes a few minutes later, stunned her road bike and shaking his head. Without a word they want to put in wrestling and wants to tell me: crazy, what the young make here!

And I remember back at me one of my stages in Italy - where I am 22% down ramps. Only funny to think of it, so nasty as this mountain here that were not.

Or is it in the end just as Mama had always said earlier: "If you marry, everything is forgotten." Well married, I'm not, but it really seems that even the hardest pain quickly loses even more intense.

As with Waseberg.

Only 500 meters later, when we set off again about to Hamburg, seems to me the idea for which I am suddenly on fire: my rather monotonous training (Out of port and 60 km to the ferry Hoopte and back again) to add a new trail: Out for Koster mountain and ... shall we say ... two times over the Waseberg.

Well - on this great Waseberg-round I'm already excited!


Waseberg Small Round - run: 36.73 km - But quite different - it is my road bike. Because this is somehow my baby. Sometimes I'm just standing there and look at it. Beautiful. Wuuuuunderschöne!
And as I look at the baby then particularly to every little complaint, every scratch and every Macke.

"Carbon will not forgive," says one yet so fine. The other day I brush my

Cervélo and I notice a scratch.

Au Backe! A small hairline fracture just above the bottom bracket.
shit, I think I'm going right at the Pirate and bikes.

Robert looks himself this frowns. Shakes his head: "Do not worry," he says, "this is only a small Crack in the paint. . Nix, which attacks the carbon "he calmed down and then he makes a long pause ... and explain me how to handle the Cervélo." Well, this is just a color scratches. Do not worry. Since nothing happens. If haste but what happens, eh lifetime warranty on frame, which is then replaced

And he adds: ".. You have to survive the crash ..."
Thank God he grins

Well, think I That's all well and good -.. my baby is not sick And if something happens, I turn my Judo skills from old army judo-AG-time (unwinding of the flight, we have trained like champions ) and then there just NEN new framework.



Doof only do I now, somehow, every time that I clean my bike, discover new small cracks. Or I'm crazy now? Suffering from hair crack-o-mania?


I should just brush less ...

How Not To Be Creepy At 44

Better Sleep - Tips and Tricks - refreshed and fit through life (part 1)

the beginning of this series I will explain the general principles of sleep. This knowledge is for everyone who wants to improve his sleep and it is important to their personal situation makes adjustments accordingly. I shall then some general tips and suggestions and offer ideas that may help in the bedroom planning.


of owls and larks
It has long been known that people can be divided roughly into two types of sleep. Owls are commonly as night and disreputable people are rather lazy and undisciplined, on the other side are the larks - known as early risers, they seem themselves and their sleep and circadian rhythm better under control.


now know that this rhythm has nothing to do with discipline and laziness, but is already enshrined in our genes. The gene is the main responsible period3 gene in humans and occurs in two forms, a shorter lead, one of the larks, a longer period, which is in a gene resultiert.Dieses owls not the only factor contributing to the individual type of sleeper guide, rather, many factors are still unknown.


falls In every person the expression into a sleep type varies greatly, with some even find a hybrid, the normal type may be the best type of sleeper, or at least the most appropriate for a life in this world , others tend to extreme forms in either direction. For some, this results in considerable difficulties and not only professional but also far-reaching health disadvantages.


The genetic difference is obvious at the internal clock of the body's cells. If it runs too slow owls and a Tagesrzyklus required by 25-26 hours. In Larks dropped to 23 hours, the hours are different from person to person and may take terrifying extremes, with the mixed form with 24 hours, as only seems to fit. The cycle has shortened the episode is on larks that the day for the cells, with 24 hours long. Render them early in the evening tired, because the cells have lesson earlier through a day, but also very early morning wake again, because the night is too long for the cell rhythm. Larks need is a little less sleep, Exception to the rule are children and the sick who have a greater need for sleep. Owls for the day is really too short, they need some more sleep and are therefore later to remain awake for longer. , so you get a vicious circle, as an owl needs more than 24 hours sleep off to themselves and to be tired again, it comes from day to day to a larger shift. For an owl with 25 hour cycle and a need for sleep seven hours so a guard time of 18 hours, or it takes 18 hours to occur again-fatigue could look like:


Day 1: 00-07 Clock sleep, 07-01 Clock waking hours
Day 2: 01-08 Clock sleep, 08-02 Clock waking hours
Day 3: 02-09 Clock sleep, 09-03 Clock waking hours
Day 4: 03-10 clock sleep, waking time Clock 10-04


screwed every day, the rhythm of the words after the prolonged cycle time back. Students know this from the holidays, if they can sleep free space, they are every day a little later and are accordingly later in the evening tired, sleep later and be on later, as the need for sleep does not even decreases. When something happens like larks, of course, the other direction. Larks can prevent this shift better, and cope with, because it is easier for an hour to force to stay awake longer than an hour before you are tired to get to sleep. As a result, many owls resort to sleeping pills to meet their job-it drive them from the evil with another, it would be better in the evening several hours before going to bed endurance sports, to obtain sufficiently tired. This shows the superiority of polyphasic sleep, which is distinguished by its short and daily independent cycle for each type of sleeper for extreme owls and larks could multiphase sleep be some way (perhaps the only), without medical support, to relaxing again and find a controlled sleep .


Because of its genetic anchoring of the type of sleeper is largely as immutable. Although the chronobiologist Simon Archer says: "You can also choose deliberately to a certain circadian rhythms and thus overrule his hereditary predisposition. How far you can actually override his assessment is controversial and of course every individual. This is possible in principle, a Veränderug shows, in human development. Born we are too slow given as owls and larks etwickeln us, this development culminates in some age of 20-21 years and then runs back in the other direction, at the age we are back almost all the early risers. This difference, children and adults earlier in the morning a high-performance and young people first about 9 clock in the morning. One reason the school hours for high school graduates to reconsider, because only very few are larks ..


An important factor that the rhythm is cell adapts to the real daily rhythm of the sun. Basis of which is the brain's master clock, which influences the cell rhythm. This clock must be calibrated as often as possible by daylight, or take over the internal clocks of the cells of their rhythm. This affects the winter the wrong cell rhythm is stronger, and at night by workers there, and by the ineffective sleep a day, to dangerous health consequences. The sunlight that falls in indoor ranges, hardly out of order the body clock to get back on track. The light intensity in a room is usually less than 500 lux, are outdoors it on cloudy 8000 and in sunny weather up to 100,000 lux This threshold is our internal clock is fortunately not taken every night with something artificial light through each other, which also means that every day, at least a couple of minutes, should go outside to catch some rays.

Difference Between Birthing Ball And Yoga Ball

worry

Well, if I'm going to really fast, I know not, but at least I have put my stem to about 1 cm deep. Because I found that my previous position was much too upright.

If the standard is that the upper body to be as level as possible in Untenlenkerpositon has (in the Time Trial) and the pros - as I found during my research out - on average 30 to 40 degree body tilt go, then I had to quickly do something on my handlebar height.

After all, I drive a full 10 degrees to 50 degrees more upright than the originals. And as I have now already completed nearly 3,500 miles on the bike that you can ever be more radical.

and off it goes to Robert and the Pirate bike shop, a day later I get the Cervélo again - it is hard to him to see that a small centimeter. feel

But he is, noticeably lower than my trailer I handlebars. Perfect 45 degree incline still quite comfortable on long drives, how do I find out yesterday at a small round after Winsen-Luhe, and aerodynamic enough I am also in the bottom handlebar position can really ducking the wind.

But the important thing is: It feels absolutely at racier, my road bike. Although I have still not the 35 degrees of the professionals - but I must deny not much of a time trial. Not yet.
