My first Triathlon since retirement!

Zena Stoltz 10 months

I know, I havent blogged in a while. There has so much to talk about this past year! Many fantastic stories and memories, retirement from professional racing, baby Zena, my first winter in 23 years(!?) and new beginnings in the coffee shop and my coaching business. But as any new parent will tell, you – once you have a baby in the house – priorities (and time) change beyond imagination!

Being known as “the sporty couple”, we have been warned that our baby is going to be busy! We thought it was cute at the time, but no jokes! Zena is one busy body!

We also opened CavemanCafé in Specialized Stellenbosch mid December, which is has been really hard work.

However much fun it is, one needs a break from working all that coffee magic…

Then I got an invite to race WestCoastWarmWaterWeekend , a race I remember very fondly. Previous blogs showcasing the scenery & special race here .

Did quite a few 14hr daysstanding behind the coffee machine.

Which means I havent been training much:

  • I swum only once since retiring in September last year. (XTERRA Grabouw in a Specialized Stellenbosch relay team with Brandon and Loyiso)
  • The #STOLTZhour I was training for somehow evaporated when I somehow lost 40W on my FTP. I suspect it has something to do with the long days standing, fun times with the family, and my mind being in “retired” mode.  And maybe all the  cake sampling. More about this in another blog…
  • Ran only a little- usually short, fun family outings with Liezel, and  Zena in the Thule Stroller.

The evening before I was packing for the race, but could not find my race kit. With a shock a realized where it was: I raided the CavemanCafé museum and stole my one and only race kit from its frame on the wall:

Borrowing retired race kit from CavemanCafe museum

If this was a normal race day, (as a Pro racer) it would be stuff nightmares are made of: We left Stellenbosch O’dark hour, but because of all the roadworks, it became obvious that we would miss the start by 15minutes. Disaster! This was literally the only nightmare I’ve had the past 30 years: Missing The Race Start.

On the road Liezel let Paul Ingpen, the organizer know that the Caveman will be doing the half distance because its the only race he’ll arrive in time for. Meanwhile, at every “stop and go” on the road, I would strip and change into some part of my race kit, so that by the time we got to the venue, I was fully dressed in STOLTZ Racing lycra, Transition bag packed, hydrated, fueled and even chamois creamed up – ready to roll! A few road workers on the West Coast may need some special counseling though…

Somehow by miracle the start was delayed (?!?) and I even managed to warm up a few meters in the warmish Langebaan Lagoon water. (although, for the 1st time in my life, no cycling warm up and I didnt care)

After the spectacular explosion when trying to swim on the feet of an “unfit” Olympic Gold medalist Ryk Neethling at XTERRA Grabouw team event, and absolutely no other swim training since Cross Tri Worlds 2015, I knew I had to just keep it smooth & easy. Have fun. Whatever that means. Since the age of 8 I’ve been racing and training to win, so I’m in new territory here…

Caveman No Frills Transition lay out:

Less is best.

  1. Bike. (2012 Specialized Shiv) In right gear for the big hill outta T1. Chain lubed. (Squirt lube) Borrowed wheels (Thanks Till!)  pumped to 100psi for the rough roads. 1 Bottle with 80g ClifBar Electrolyte and 1 bottle water
  2. Helmet (Sworks McLaren) with Oakley glasses inside.
  3. Cycling shoes open & ready. Specialized Terra Shoes with LOOK MTB pedals. Yes I’m the only guy in the race with MTB pedals on an aero everything bike. (couldnt bother to change cleats & pedals)
  4. For T2: Trail running shoes, (Altra LonePeak 2.5) 2x ClifShots, race belt (number 1- thanks Paul!) visor & clean Oakley glasses.

With absolutely no expectations, – other than knowing if I tried to go fast, I’ll blow up – I went out easy-ish on the bike. Judging by the number of women overtaking me in the swim, I thought I was way back, but was surprised to be 4th at the 35km turn around. Heard a rumor there’s R5000 for 2nd and age old instincts kicked in! By then the legs were warm and I hooked the 2nd half – to finish the ride in 2nd place behind Matt Trautman.

When lacking fitness, trying to go fast is certain death! Especially over 70km of rough, rolling roads.

Didn’t bother to bring elastic shoe laces for a speedy transition thus spent seemingly minutes tying normal shoe laces…

There’s a good reason this run is “only” 10km. Its the sandiest but the most scenic run you’ll ever do!

Magical West Coast views, sights, sounds and smells everywhere. This is why I love this race.

I also really like the way the Altra shoes’ Zero Drop helps improve my form by encouraging foot strike to happen underneath me (at center of gravity) instead of in front of me.

But where the sand seemed deepest I got run down easily by a springy 20 something year old Jean Paul Burger whom I didnt even try to hold off or chase. When I saw him coming I pondered for a while how many coffees I have to make to earn R5000 (2nd pace)  – its a lot!- but when the familiar old lactic acid pain and heat black outs appeared on the radar I backed off without any 2nd thoughts. I’m retired from Pro racing, I’m doing this for fun now, no matter how many coffees (or coaching & skills lessons) I have to sell to make up for the R4000 pay cut for 3rd place.

Cresting the last sand dune. I’m used to (and love) tough running conditions, but I have to admit, this Sand Monster was one of the toughest I’ve ever fought. This is for sure the slowest I’ve ever moved forward while my HR was 160. (Red line) Even enjoyed walking a few times.

Hows that for even pacing?! Took me a lifetime to learn. Recorded with Suunto Ambit3

Тонкости оргазма массаж женщине Изречение «оргазм» в переводе с греческого означает «гореть страстью». И многие мужчины стремятся к сексуальному контакту именно для того, чтобы достичь пика этой страсти. У женщин же погоня ради «заветным призом» отнюдь не самая веская пружина ради вступления в интимные отношения. Даже те, кто точный достигают оргазма, больше ценят в сексе удовольствие через самого процесса, чем короткий «миг блаженства».
Чтобы чего же оргазм нужен женщине? И какие ожидание женского оргазма существуют?
Цифры и факты

Обнаженная девушка Женский оргазм сложнее мужского. Если у здорового мужчины отдельный половой действие заканчивается оргазмом, сопровождающим эякуляцию, то у женщины зачатие напрямую с оргазмом не связано.
В чисто физиологическом смысле женский оргазм – это многократное сокращение мышц влагалища, матки и промежности. Словно утверждают сексологи, молодой нерожавшие женщины обычно испытывают 2-3 сильных спазма и скольконибудь слабых. Рожавшие дамы более старшего возраста – 1 авторитетный спазм и 2-3 слабых.
Вызывается оргазм стимуляцией эрогенных зон, которые в свою очередь передают сигналы возбуждения в мозг – в специальные зоны удовольствия. Чтобы того для достичь оргазма женщине в среднем требуется под 8 минут активных ласк. А один оргазм длится 6-10 секунд, хотя некоторые дамы могут растянуть удовольствие и перед 20 секунд.
У многих женщин в момент оргазма тож недавно перед него влагалище наполняется жидкостью. Сей суть, называемый сквиртом, выделяют железы, расположенные под мочеиспускательного канала. У 35-50% женщин сквиртинг проявляется достаточно сильно, причем, по свидетельству дам, собственноручно оргазм во время сквиртинга становится ярче и продолжительнее.
Намерение оргазма

Женский оргазм Сексологи сходятся на книга, сколько женские оргазмы позволительно разделить на четыре типа – клиторальный, влагалищный, промежностный и маточный. Некоторые утверждают, сколько возможен опять оргазм через стимуляции сосков, но по статистике его испытывает лишь 1% женщин.
Согласие весь той же статистике клиторальный оргазм доступен более 70% женщин. Однако для достижения оргазма этого типа женщине необходима непосредственная стимуляция клитора. В классической позе или позе «женщина сверху» горячность клитора затруднительно, но коль женщина сдвигает ноги – то около определенным углом пенис мужчины может шеромыжничать и накануне этой точки.
Вагинальный тож влагалищный оргазм – другой по популярности. В формировании оргазма этого типа наибольшую роль играют мышцы промежности и нижняя треть влагалища, которые образуют оргастическую манжетку. Быть вагинальном оргазме должен влияние для нижнюю треть передней стенки влагалища, сколько достигается практически в всякий позиции.
Промежностный оргазм встречается станет редко. Женщина получается его за счет воздействия полового члена на точку G, расположенную в нижней части задней стенки влагалища. Быть этом типе оргазма целесообразны позиции, в которых можно приподнять ягодицы и поясницу, предположим, подложив почти них подушку.
Маточный оргазм связан со стимуляцией шейки матки половым членом. Выражается он в сокращениях матки и начинается с ее дна, исподволь переходя вниз. При маточном оргазме легкие спазмы продолжаются еще после порядком минут после первых сильных сокращений. А для достижения оргазма этого типа женщине нужны позы с глубоким проникновением – примем, поза «наездницы».
Оргазм и здоровье

Мужчина и женщина Оргазм длится только изрядно секунд, впрочем его реакция на здоровье человека очень долговременно и существенно. Многочисленные исследования показали, который оргазм снимает стресс, уменьшает головную боль, нормализует работу нервной системы. Он также снижает риск рака предстательной железы у мужчин и риск развития застойных явлений в органах малого таза у женщин. Во век оргазма степень окситоцина – «гормона счастья» – увеличивается в четыре раза, который благотворно влияет на психологическое положение женщины, ее внешний образ и самочувствие…
И всетаки же, сомнительно ли природа подарила женщине оргазм лишь чтобы оздоровления. Тем более что сообразно последним данным самки животных в подавляющем большинстве не способны испытывать оргазм. Чуть свиньи, крольчихи, обезьяны и хорьки знают, что такое пик наслаждения.
Беспричинно чем же в природе вызвана обязанность женского оргазма? Ученые выдвигают порядочно теорий. Есть, к примеру, версия, сколько оргазм ради женщины является косвенным свидетельством правильности выбора партнера. Ведь с мужчиной, какой сумел создать заслуженный психологический климат, женщине легче достичь оргазма, чем с малознакомым или неинтересным ей партнером.
Согласие подобный теории сокращения матки во время оргазма увеличивают вероятность зачатия. Правда, во срок оргазма шейка матки расширяется и приоткрывается, а благодаря спазмам сперматозоиды точно желание «всасываются» в матку. Однако хорошо известно, сколько беременность вполне может наступить и без оргазма.
Глотать и подобный необычное соображение: женский оргазм является атавизмом. Он – придаточный изделие эволюции, в результате которой мужчинам через женщин достались не нужные им соски, а женщинам – мочь хотя желание койкогда получать апогей удовольствия от секса. https://massage-relaks.ru/
