... I don't care. This was exactly what Chris McCormack http://chrismccormack.com said to me when I came into his shop and was overwhelmed by the outstanding presence of Normann Stadler there.
I am not only an athlete, I am a businessman too, you know. On the race course we might look into quite different directions. But in business things are different for me. He is an excellent athlete, he sells. But believe me, I am looking forward to beat him next year.
Danke allen, die mich moralisch unterstuetzen auf meinem Weg durch die "male dominated" Business-Welt Australiens. Noch nie in meinem kurzen Blogger-Leben, haben sich so viele zu einem Kommentar aufgeschwungen, durchgerungen, hinreissen lassen...?!
Heute war kein schlechter Tag. Sydney ist eben eine wunderschoene Stadt, die einen fuer vieles entschaedigen kann.
Anmerkung fuer alle Triatheten und Triathlon-Fans: Chris {Macca) is still quite lazy which means he is not training at all yet, but busy in many other ways.
Danke, Harry. Ich liebe die gebackenen Geschoepfe. Schmecken sie auch so gut wie sie aussehen! Uebrigens Harry, ich versuche mich auf dem PC einzurocken... ziemlich stuemperhaft, meine Bewegungen, but I move :-)

As you already know, I'm currently down under. Yesterday I had the first of several meetings planned for this week. Who was taking part is not relevant at this point. But what was remarkable is that I once again like so many times in my life was confronted with this kind of scrutiny from my counterpart that is casting basic doubts on what you are doing to question you as person. Are attacks of this kind launched to make you feel inferior? To cover up for the insecurity of the other? A sort of body checking? Male chauvinism or female feminism? Because sex here plays no role either.
I couldn't avoid it, I really felt cornered in that moment when the guy (refers to either sex too!) asked me: "Can you tell me in brief, what biestmilch does to me? And how it does this! Give me bullet points only..."
The tone was relatively harsh. I almost gave in, the jet-lag, I had rarely slept the night before. It was not easy for me to stay focused.
To cut a long story short. I decided not to get into the bullet points story. Because for me I drew the conclusion that the whole issue was not about biestmilch and its mode of action, but about "the who is who and who is going to take over the lead in this game". So I just said, biestmilch makes you feel better depending on how basically feel... a provocative simple answer. But it went through because my voice was as harsh as the other's.
So, let's wait and see whether we meet at eye level next time.
This week I shall spend in Sydney to find out about the chances of biestmilch here. Australia is one of the few, if not the only place in the world where studies with biestmilch have been performed on a regular basis. The Institute of Sports Australia is a very active place for colostrum research. This is one of the reasons why biestmilch is marketed in Australia. Beside New Zealand in Australia this substance is not considered as such a bizarre creature. But nevertheless biestmilch has no established market with conspicuous sales, it survives, as far as I know in a niche in sports. And, on top of this the health market is not familiar with the incredible potential of biestmilch in chronic diseases. For my understanding of the situation biestmilch got a good chance.
Okay then, let's wait and see. I'll keep me posted.
The cold season has not yet begun. November was warm and sunny, very extraordinary. Nevertheless we want to light a candle here today to welcome this contemplative time of the year.
