Algunas cosas ojala nunca van a cambiar. Cruzando el rio Paraguay y jugando volley en el Chaco'I con la brigada de Yakare

Phd defense ✔ Thank you everybody for coming. It was great to see so many people there ! After almost 5 years this chapter is closed and it is time for something else !

Little over a week ago I ran my first 100 miler. Almost fully healed now after an amazing experience. Ready to start training again! Thanks to my awesome support crew @marth.dekinder and my parents. Staying up the whole night and making peanutbutter sandwiches for me isn't the most fun thing to do but I'm very grateful!

Grizzly 100k. My heart wasn't really in it for a large part of the race. After 46km I decided to quit and told the race officials to put a Dnf next to my name. It just wasn't my day. Because I was on the most distant point of the race and the race organisation wasn't going back to the start for some time I decided to hitchhike back. After 15 min of trying, no luck (I guess nobody wanted me to ruin their car with my sweaty ass). So I decided to run the rest of the track back. After some wrong turns I got to the finish after 103.75 km. With all the highs and lows I went through this definitely is one of my proudest finishes so far!

Ultra viking 60k in Warstein, Germany. Fun times! The strenght obstacles (sandbag carry, pullups, ect) went very good. The more technical stuff such as climbing obstacles were a lot harder. Although no official race (they promote it as a personal challenge rather a competition) I crossed the finish in 7u35 min in 4th place (out of 235 finishers) which feels pretty awesome!

Trail des trappistes 48k. Bit of a shorter, faster trail so I could go all out from the start. Got 9th place!
