    Race Report Mont Blanc Man

    And there it was, my race highlight of this year. It felt weird somehow to wait so long before racing again, but the Mont Blanc Man was my first triathlon since Ironman Hamburg last year. Needless to say I should have been nervous. But I wasn’t. I was really relaxed…

  • Mallorca 2019

    Mallorca 2019

    Here we are back from the island. 3 years after my first trip to Mallorca I returned for spring this year, only this time I brought my family. Crazy how quickly life changes. After a few intense months at work with extensive business travel I desperately needed some rest and…

  • Run This Town – Brussels

    Run This Town – Brussels

    Brussels has become one of my favorite cities in Europe. The classic architecture is beautiful, historic pubs and restaurants take you back to the belle époque. The European quarter adds a certain vibe of true European-ness. I’ve always embraced the European spirit, but especially when I hang out here in…

    Base Is Almost Over – What Now?

    It has been quite a while since I reported on my status. Maybe it is time to check in again more often, at least for future reference. I was reading through posts from a year ago and am very happy and contend with my journey so far. 12 months ago…

  • Run This Town – Bucharest

    Run This Town – Bucharest

    Business trips rarely leave much space for running. You land, meet, eat, sleep too little, and fly back out again. But if you’re lucky, there’s a small window — half an hour between obligations — to see a city on foot. Bucharest was one of those windows. A loud, layered…

  • Run this Town – Washington D.C.

    Run this Town – Washington D.C.

    To keep this going let’s squeeze in one of my few adventures outside Europe. I was lucky to get invited to a conference in D.C. in October and took the opportunity to go for a few runs while I was there. Initially I was planning on running around the national…

  • A new series coming up – Go run this town!

    A new series coming up – Go run this town!

    I’m still aimlessly meandering around. I have yet to decide on my next big project for the 2019 season. Until then I sort of wanna work out for fun, but in practice I hardly work out at all. Terribly stressful work and plenty of overtime provide ample excuses for hitting…

  • In Between Seasons – Improving my Running

    In Between Seasons – Improving my Running

    After my last post on cycling I spent a lot of time thinking about my running. Not the kind of focused thinking for a relatively short while, with quick conclusions. More the kind of thinking that lingers in the back of your head for weeks. Sometimes it pops into your…

    In Between Seasons – Improving My Biking

    For a while now I’ve been feeling kinda stuck between seasons. My 2018 racing season is pretty much over, but it’ll be quite a while before I can properly kick off the next season. I haven’t decided on my race schedule and ambitions for 2019 yet, but unless I’ll do…
