These are a few of my favourite things:

  • running; personal bests (no time is “official”; distances calculated with onthegomap):

    • 5 km in 19:28 (on track)

    • 15 km in 59:38

    • 21.1 km in 1:25:31

    • 42.2 km in <3:29 (haven’t done much of this)

    • longest run (trail): 50 km (08.2024)

  • cycling:

    • 40 km in 1:07:31 (Albert Park course in Melbs)

    • longest ride: 211 km (09.2024)

    • hardware:

      • road bike: Shimano 105 2x11 groupset, carbon frame, Garmin Speed Sensor 2 + Cadence Sensor 2 (not worth the money…)

      • “gravel” bike: Shimano GRX-400 2x10 groupset, alu frame (good enough for commuting), Magene S3 speed/cadence dual-mode sensors (they do the trick)

      • Magene H303 Heart Rate Monitor (def. better than Garmin’s HRM-TRI)

    • my cycling season starts on 1 Jan and ends on 31 Dec lol

  • hiking (Bieszczady, the French, Slovenian, and Austr(al)ian Alps, …)

  • constantly modding my mini-campervan

  • bouldering (V4+), vie ferrate/Klettersteige

  • Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, and Blackadder

  • jazz (John Coltrane, Chick Corea, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Vijay Iyer, …), “classical” music (Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Chopin, …), ethnic music (Orkiestra Świętego Mikołaja, Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo), and hip hop

  • José Saramago’s books, Donald Knuth’s The Art of Computer Programming and Concrete Mathematics

  • Lars von Trier’s films, Rejs, Miś
