Ironman Hawaii, 2008: How do athletes know that they are feeling good for the race?
Yesterday our bietmilch podcast team was again on tour in Kailua-Kona. They were asking athletes a question that may sound easy to you, but definitely is not. For athltetes it so detrimental to know, when they really feel good, because only then you can adjust your training adequately. As you can hear from the replies it is a tricky thing t assess your own body’s condition.
Chris McCormack and Nicole Leder in: »The message in the bottle«
Last year Nicole and Chris acted in »the last booster on the island«. This was a way out activity because none of our stuff had arrived on Big Island. So, we had to cancel our launch activities. This year everything is very different. Tees, swim caps, biestmilch everything came here in time. This gave us the possibility to catch up this year. Last week we met with Nicole, Chris, Meike, Frank and Daniel on the beach to do some filming. Below the result of our get- together.
Last year we dedicated the last booster to the gods of the Island, and symbolically threw a bottle with a message for them into the ocean. This time the guys discover a bottle with message swimming in the ocean wondering whether this could be last year’s message in the bottle. It was not, of course.
Swim Caps on a bus ride ;-)
On Sunday morning we have been accompanying a group of athletes to Hawi. Every year Hannes carries hundreds of them with buses to Hawi, the turning point of the race course. From there they ride back on their sophisticated bikes to get the touch and feel of this extremely windy course. Some of them overreach, this pays back on race day.
Thanks to the guys who were ready to contribute to our short video clip. We had fun, and the result is fun too.
Occasion: Ironman world championship, Hawaii
Biested my body today…
Kicking off our biest ya’ body contest tomorrow, I started »biesting« myself this morning at Hapuna beach.
Shooting the »Lost Bottle Spot«
Today we met at turtle beach in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii for shooting the lost bottle spot. The story refers back to our disaster from last year, where we did not receive any goods from home. Only 3 boosters left we had stand through a tough time on this island, it was a mission impossible, not accomplished. Before we left we gave our last booster to island’s gods. I think this helped us this year, all our things have finally arrived. Part of it, the swim caps you see on the photos from the set below.
Our protagonists from last year Chris McCormack and Nicole Leder, who accompany and support Biestmilch for many years have been with us again, moreover Frank Vytrisal, Meike Krebs and Daniel Schmoll, the newcomers on the team. It was fun and serious at the same time. Today’s final result you can watch on our site and on Youtube after our arrival back home in round about 3 to 4 weeks. Here some stills from today’s work to give you a vague idea of what we did.
The Group: Meike, Daniel, Nicole, Frank and Chris

Fedex returned our packages. Seems they had a tough time passing through several controls to finally end up back home.
