this is to listen to. the journey back to the roots of government live. charge family from somalia live around the world to someone something needed urgent assistance a. family starts october any on t w. sébastien kenya is one of germany's top triathletes and trying very hard and competes against the world's best athletes in the i mean you need to work hard every day so you have even a vague chance of making it to the finish line hoping for the off. to mass town as an italian alps now that we know training for the upcoming triathlons the season in mid october he'll compete in the y. and that will swim for kilometers cycle $100.00 an easy kilometers and then run

a full marathon. sebastian is talking with his wife costner training phonied some iron man in 10 days time but not everything is going to plan. ahead in order for the other day i was on the cycle track which was really busy someone was coming towards me and i stepped out of the way if you want to this curb with my right foot. i twisted my ankle really badly and then i thought ok that's it i won't be doing any sport for at least a year in this. fortunately he only strained a leg amount. to one of the well you can still see the

injury on the inside of my right foot is a bit taller. so this really doesn't bode well for the new iron man. is the case i was planning on doing a few tough long distance runs to train. but that's not possible now so i'll miss out on 4 or 5 workout sessions not up to i'm dieting. so instead sebastian is trying to regain stability in his foot by exercising baffert. he's reorganized his training schedule to allow for his injury. now he's all about perfecting his running technique. each day sebastian engages until one of the 3 triathlon disciplines swimming cycling or running. after which he hits the gym easily spends 8 hours training every day.

over the past months he's built up his muscles now he trains to keep his fitness levels up. so i you've got to make sure you're not continuously strengthening your muscles so. you have to use light weights to keep your muscles in shape and do the exercises properly. they need to do this by them i mean your muscles i don't you. know my coach would probably be appalled if he heard me talk about how to exercise properly. they decided to walk or. sebastien them as coach have to vice a training routine with special exercises for his injured foot he wants to do really well in the upcoming hawaii iron man the winner takes home 800000 mirrors and prize money and sebastian wants to secure a lucrative sponsorship deal. with madoff and also. i think judging by a link earning the office or more i have a 30 percent chance of winning the race for what them for that's not bad.

but winning hawaii are unmanned costs at least. a 1000000 about training and preparation from the reward in the end so you spend even more money over the years . with on board with now. getting ready for and participating in iron man competitions is costly sebastiaan needed to pay for training camps and international flights as well as for health insurance and brought. even question a marketing job to support him so it's not about what still needs doing although sort of requests of yeah i guess i need to take care of those myself package delivery is. yeah there are always a few of those with you know lower against it and all the mail when the bus all the things i need to take to hawaii. to do 10 k. runs herself. but at some stage she decided she didn't want to become

a professional athlete will be modest as you know but i think it gets really difficult when both people in a relationship are ambitious athletes before. hello. it's long i think those relationships don't tend to last i decided. to walk by them how does one person gives up their ambition so the other one can excel. in mind this is where i keep my bike. today sebastiaan is going for a long cycle right the hotel we're staying has given him a special room to store his beloved bike he designed it himself for the needs and why and mats it's 5 a bite and doesn't even have paint on its frame this reduces the weight by an extra 140 grams.

it will. sebastien strong suit is cycling on his bike he knows he can make up for time lost swimming which he finds hardest. today he's sucking up to steep mountain passes and will cover not a tube of 1000 meters it will be a grueling 4 hour tour. that is following by car she knows these training sessions are not always smooth sailing. when you yod this marvell i don't like him going out by himself i get nervous when i know he should be back in 3 hours but isn't a. 35 year old sebastien became

a professional athlete 9 years ago he trained extremely hard though he knows injuries are a constant danger and any any has a few months years and him as a full time athlete. and 5. what i enjoy the freedom that comes with being an athlete. so when i retire and become an employee somewhere it will be hard to adjust to the. there are days when i wish i had a 9 to 5 lifestyle where i can just come home and forget about work because that's not how things are when you're a sports person it's hard to switch off on this. sebastien loves to read to get his mind off things and relax. ok and putin i'm reading a book about russian president putin that i won by michel you does on the middle

east. but it didn't fit well so nothing to do with sports at all. so mists oh god it's much wall. st sebastian has decided to compete in the need to i am man after all along let's review. that if you. think it's true that a little bit of a little bit more i think you need some races i've been to professional and amateur athletes they only need to check in the day before the competition and sebastien like the others must check on his bike but if the op moved over this is like fort knox. along at night they even have guard dogs patrolling in my name robertson is your own fault i don't have a good definition of. this

upon. the big day has arrived some bus town as up at 5 am. i miss it. it is better than the in my i'm going park usually i would absolutely hate getting up this early. in the ga puts into a pit stop for a race like this when my alarm goes off or i get up and i'm ready to roll i never feel tired or anything like that. for me but. the competition kicks off until alice sebastian needs to get his kit ready so he won't get any time during the race switching to his bike. he's already wearing his cycling slash running outfit underneath his neoprene suit. and carrying the number 3 is germany's past just keep. the narrative recorder. maybe you could be struck long every morning come on we're

here you. are claiming. the professional athletes start a few minutes before the amateurs. but unfortunately sebastiaan is off to a bad start within seconds he's trailing several swimmers and congress passed him. he loses precious time getting out of the water isn't fair she 1st place a disaster. sebastian gets on his bike and tries to make up for lost time while cycling as a strong suit after all he gradually finds his way towards the top of the pack and by the time he has his back to start running he's already in the 11th place. sebastian gives that everything he's coming he's never run a marathon this fast before in his life. but even so it's not quite enough to clinch victory no west coast of eden comes 1st sebastian makes 5th place.

a lot of a. legal issue investment. everyone is impressed by sebastian's fantastic comeback with the record here is a look at least we're looking for and regroup but now he'll need time to recuperate and so will his wife it's been a stressful race for both of us actually i mean you know i have. a little bit. what was i supposed to do you think. deliberately swam so slowly no that's not what i'm saying here tonight. i'm claiming. i never get. right right have more of. my rabbit more time have you been named than with me yet so if that is giving you my need to recover as quickly as

possible to get at it because the big race in hawaii is coming up soon i'm happy with that place but i could have done better. off with this if that's not what i spent the past year training for. i would but i will focus on the good things the info i know i will have forgotten them by tomorrow or by the time the stylist put it in the but that's not. going to hear competing in these races is as much about mental strength as it is about physical fitness and it's about being nice to the fans to hear this. supposed jamel rest for 4 days and then get back into training for the hawaii i and my. me just get. to.
