When ingress announced the sites for the 2023 anomalies, I thought, I’d get to Reims and that’s it. Then I got an Athens trip as a gift – and after rucking in Athens I kind of had to figure out how to go to Oslo or Madrid. Flying for a pixel-in-scanner game… yes I flew to Rome for a weekend,…
…..and more So this was a present from my husband. Fly to Athens have a cool week there, and fight anomaly. The anomaly – this time me without bike – went fine – lots of activity, lots of fighting, shard scoring. Just…unfortunately we lost anyways. It rained. Several of us slipped on the wet marble. No major accidents, gratefully, just…
Rucking in the park. So, originally when I signed in for the journey to Athens there was an option – Athens walk through the night – sightseeing in the dark. For the trip was a present, M. asked if I wanted to book this – yet – I had planned on GORUCK – so I said no. Turns out, GORUCK…
So, I finished my Pan Europe Bike Path. Meaning there is a void which has to be filled. So, I also started real intense work getting digital stuff into German schools – demanding a lot of me. So, I did not do any endurance sport, besides of some rucking and hiking challenges, but no serious running, cycling, swimming. So I…
Someone had the glorious idea to have a GORUCK event in Berlin. No, not one, not two, but three GORUCK events (BASIC style) – GORUCK BASIC are events for around six hours, including plenty of rucking, plenty or PT, exhaustion, sore feet, maybe some water, and learning. Not „just“ psychologically („I think I can I think I can“) but literally…
Fifty (or so) shades of sky……
After two years COVID restrictions and apprehensive planning, we wanted to get back to vacationing but for that virus isn’t gone and won’t be gone, soon, we decided, not to fly but to rent a house in far away Brittany, in Camaret-sur-Mer. Car packed, and we went our merry ways West, and farther West, avoiding tollways, until we reached Velizy,…
When I ran my very first Ironman race in Wisconsin, I was totally worn out coming into the finish. happy for I made it, elated, for…I made it…Full of endorphines, I guess. At the time it was a one-minute-time slot for sign up for such a race. After a minute all starter slots were gone. So may people already signed…
Riding 20km. After all those days. Meeting a couple who took a similar route on a different bike path – bound to Ulm, on their non electric bikes – making Ulm in two days or three. The guy I talked to probably around 70 years old. wow! I had some nice landscape to cover, just to have village skylines emerge…
Wow. I really did not think I’d made it this far. Cycling – I had been with my electric bike all over the place – but this is a regular race frame, with luggage. With a bendy back and cleats and all that. Who was I to plan 500km in one piece. After not doing any racing activities anymore. On…
