A Few Words About This Website

They say, our planet is a small place. BS, I say. If it would be a small place, I could meet with loved-ones, old friends, new friends, simply everybody wherever and whenever I or they wanted. People would not get lost due to distance and/or moving on. Moving on is the story of my life, after all. Moving on is the story of all life, I suspect.

That said, I still would like to hear from you should you ever run into this website. Nostalgia? Who cares. I'm sorry there is such a long list of old friends who unfortunately have gotten lost in the shuffle of life. I'd like to shorten the list with your help. Drop me a note. Let me know that you are alive and well. Tell me your story. Since you know me, you know how much I love stories.

Hey, this is cool, by the way. I surely did not know that creating a website can be that much fun... let us use this medium to stay in touch! I know, I know. This medium is so 'yesterday'. Facebook is it, today. Yes, I'm on it as well.

Meine 'alte' Webseite hatte eine deutsche Ausgabe, d.h. alles war doppelt, deutsch und englisch. Das ist nicht mehr notwendig, da bin ich mir sicher. Mein Englisch ist einfach nicht kompliziert genug, um einem 'Durchschnittsdeutschen' Probleme zu bereiten. Wenn ein Fachausdruck im Sportbereich fehlt, dann ist immer noch www.leo.org zu konsultieren. Wenn es Diskussionsbedarf gibt, dann ist meine e-mail Anschrift vorhanden!

 

Mit Model 2010 hat Bernd Rehpenning ganze Arbeit geleistet! Und ich habe es mir einfach gemacht und die Punktekalkulierer fuer die Mehrkaempfe erstellt.

Dazu zeige ich euch mein Krafttraining fuer die Mehrkaempfe. Natuerlich ist das eine recht individuelle Sache, da wir alle unsere eigenen Staerken und Schwaechen haben. Dazu haben wir Jahre, bei denen wir uns auf einige Disziplinen konzentrieren, andere vernachlaessigen. Wieauchimmer, hier gibt es einen Einblick in mein Krafttrainingsprogramm.

I have always been fascinated by the decathlon. Combined events were considered to be the standard of versatility going back to the era of the ancient Greeks.When the ancient Olympic Games ended in 390 AD, there was a break of almost 1,500 years. This tradition was renewed in the mid-19th century in England. There is also news of similar developments in Germany at about the same time. The modem combined events probably began in America in about 1880. Combined events were held over a single day and became so popular that the organizers of the third Olympic Games in St. Louis in 1904, included a combined event as an unofficial discipline in the program of the Games.

Over the last couple of years, I've extended my personal interest and got involved in the scoring system for multi events, mainly for us masters athletes. I created calculators for all masters' multi or combined events. You can open and download the calculators by clicking on the links above! Have fun.

I developed yet another athletic interest when I became hooked on functional athletic training for the decathlon. It led countless hours of researching development tools for strenght & power. My training today is very different from my training from just a few years ago. I'm a better athlete now.
