  What else do I enjoy?

I love rockclimbing. I have been climbing since 2005 which I think is a big deal.
I am member of the X-climb team.
Among all the different types of this sport I prefer the indoor version (I believe outdoor climbing is the very same thing PLUS deprivation from the comforts of civilization). As most amateurs I particularly like bouldering -- which is climbing short but difficult problems. From my experience bouldering is not only a physical but also an intellectually challenging activity, its cognitive load is comparable to chess.

I am a part of the team of running climbers (or climbing runners) called "Fat Raccoons". I ran a few 10 km races and a couple of half marathons. I ran my first full marathon o 23 Feb 2014 in 4 hours and 48 minutes. I never walked and I am proud of it. I plan to run more marathons in the future. I ran almost everyday all year round despite the weather conditions or my current location, I love it.

Apart from sports I love reading, especially science fiction.


Reading developed my imagination and recourcefullness.
I believe that running taught me that pain doesn't necessarily imply suffering, how to distinguish one from the other and how to overcome.
Belay taught me to trust and to be responsible no matter what happens.
