A collaboration of IRONMAN Europe & BIESTMILCH

Planning for Frankfurter Sparkasse IRONMAN European Championship on July 8, 2012 is going into its final phase, the BIESTMILCH Special is entering its 2nd round.

Dear athletes,

we are planning a poll!

After the positive feedback we have received regarding the swim start at IRONMAN Regensburg, where swimming started with a Beach-Start into the lake Guggenberger, we are considering the same procedure for Frankfurt at the Langener Waldsee: sending you with a Beach-Start into this long day. The swim course remains basically the same. The area and the width for a Beach-Start are sufficient.

What do you think? In-Water-Start or Beach-Start?

Eine Kooperation von IRONMAN Europe & BIESTMILCH

Die Planungen für Frankfurter Sparkasse IRONMAN European Championship am 8. Juli, 2012 gehen in die finale Phase, das BIESTMILCH Spezial in die 2. Runde. 

Nach den positiven Feedbacks zum IRONMAN Regensburg, bei dem wir die Athleten mit einem Landstart in den Guggenberger See in ihren langen Tag schicken, haben wir die Überlegung angestellt auch am Langener Waldsee mit einem Landstart zu beginnen. Der grundsätzliche Verlauf der Schwimmstrecke würde dadurch nicht verändert werden. Die Fläche/Breite des Landstart-Bereiches ist ausreichend.

Was meinst Du dazu? Wasser oder Land?

a few days ago I received this paper on the doping dilemma from Bengt Kayser*. I think it is an interesting read, especially for pro athletes. It outlines the term clean as being very controversial. It denunciates the whole debate around anti-doping as being not clean by unreflectingly mixing the various discourses of interest be it political, scientific, moral or economical etc.. The decision-making processes are not transparent, agendas and coalitions blurry. I think Kayser's approach could be inspiring, and help to dissolve the stalemate between the white "NO" and the black "YES"...

The BIESTMILCH gang is happy to welcome Andi on board. 2012 is going to be an exciting year. Sebastian Kienle, Andi Boecherer, Terenzo Bozzone, Ronnie Schildknecht and Chris McCormack, we are proud of our boys, and expect races with thrill. We asked Andi some questions of which the answers you can read below. He definitely has got an interesting personality. He is a person who has got something to say and makes our group more complete.

Andi Boecherer in brief

Born 1983 in Freiburg
From 2002 to 2008 he studied mathematics in Heidelberg and Freiburg, finished with bachelor's degree
In 2002 first triathlon
In 2007 his daughter Paula was born and Andi does his Ironman arce on Lanzarote
Since 2008 he is pro triathlete
In 2011 he came in 8th place in Kona with 8:23 and won the Ironman 70.3 European championships
Since autumn 2011 he is married to Corinna Otto.

Kona 2011 was actually the first time afte 8 years in Kona that we have been able to sell our Biestmilch products. The whole project of selling Biestmilch on US soil was definitely like walking the tightrope by the skin of our  teeth.
The company got registered by August '11. Only then we could start the test shipments, and see whether we were able to pass FDA scrutiny.

Until a video is online it takes time, it needs patience, and you have to have the touch and feel for a story hidden in hours of footage. We are lucky to have Fritz who is spending hours and hours in developing the stories.

This was not in Kona as we know. In Kona last year Ronnie was unlucky, he quit.  One day before the race we got him on his way to the bike check-in. Watching this video may evoke sweet-sour memories. Ronnie, if he watches the video, probably remembers how he tried to talk himself into a state of perfect well-being and self-confidence.

Why you should take the chance to register via Biestmilch?? ...

Since we started our company for the sake of creating a market for Biestmlich/colostrum in 2000, we are vividly singing the song of immunity. A proper functioning immune system is the very base for peak performance, not only in sports.
We are extremely happy, if we find alliances that support our views. Mike Gleeson, Prof. of exercise biochemistry, is such a person. He did a lot of work on exercise and immunity. He was just quoted with his studies in the Huffington Post.

Regular moderate workouts on the contrary are the best approach to prevent chronic diseases. All together Biestmilch is a perfect substance to prevent illness, be it acute or chronic.
