Yay, official race photos are in - this was Tegernsee Lauf 2025 - #tegernsee #bavaria #running #halfmarathon

Happy Runners after the Tegernsee Lauf 2025 - looks foggy on the image, but large parts have been beautifully sunny. Epic views of Lake Tegernsee, cheering crowds, plus I followed up with #sauna at Monte Mare Tegernsee - epic is what describes it best. #running […] [Original post on chaos.social]

Sella Ronda Bike Day 2025 is over, we arrived safely at home again. Epic climbs, awesome people, good weather.... Plus amazing mountain scenery, Italian food and first class Sauna in Corvara. Cycling season comes to an end, this will be an event to keep in memory for a long time.

Saugeil, mal wieder SRBD heute - Autumn Edition. Gleich geht's los mit Streckensperrung für die Autofahrer und dann werden tausende Radfahrer die 4 Pässe um das Sella Massif erklimmen. Wir sind gestern schon angereist, per Rad ab Brixen - heute auch mit @andreasofthings @gehoern

With these image models, you can totally fake your life. But why? I comes handy to maybe remove an element in the background, but wondering if people already use it to fake their experiences... Hmm. Me skeptical if this development will help us.

I am blown away - test 2 - which one is the real pic? Again, this is Nano Banana taking an input image an me asking to replace some parts.

I tried out Google's new Nano Banana (models/gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview) model to change a flag in a pic I took yesterday at our ner SAP Office in Garching. Which one is the original?

Can totally recommend the #wendelsteinrundfahrt if you are looking for a non-competitive cycling event. We did 120km and plan for 165km next year. It's challenging but they have food stations along the way. https://www.wendelsteinrundfahrt.de/ https://strava.app.link/Mj8vBHho5Vb

Does your motivation to train ever fade? I've been thinking about the different reasons we do sports, and I've put them into a simple pyramid. From "no pain" to "body-shaping" and "competition," I'd argue the top level—experience—is the most powerful of all […] [Original post on chaos.social]

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” — @mortenkabell.bsky.social

Rescher Alm - one of the top spots around lake Rescia? I'd say so... Breathtaking - also for the climb up to 2000m. Started my hike in Nauders, Austria and now at Rescher Alm in Italy - will cross the border 4 times today... Europe! EU I mean... #rescia #reschen #hiking #italy

Hiking from Riatschhof in Nauders - excellent location for many hiking destinations. Today, after kiting at the #reschensee, I was kiting to the Grossmutzkopf mountain peak. Awesome views over to lake Rescia... #hiking #nauders #austria #italy

Stunning views from my hotel. It's just another super steep climb, each day for next week, but the view is stunning. I am blown away. #nauders #cycling

I just reached Norbertshoehe, the top of the Reschenpass. A bit down and up to the hotel. Super happy. And sun is out, too. #cycling

What an epic moment - on my way to Nauders by bike I get asked about my @techsauna shirt and randomly meet two cyclists from Munich that have heard of it via #ccc @andreasofthings#ccc Now another break... Soon final stretch up the #reschenpass

On my way to Nauders from Garmisch. The gravel fernpass was really nice, now taking a break just before Landeck. #cycling #alps

Cycling from Garmisch (DE) to Nauders (AT) today, most southern point just before the Italian border and Lake Rescia for #reschenseelauf - there meeting with @andreasofthings#reschenseelaufand Alan from @techsauna fame.

That feeling of cycling car-free roads with 9000 others! 🤩 #dolomitesbikeday was epic. My latest blog post details the stunning views, challenging climbs, and all the good vibes […]

SportScheck Run 2025 - pretty challenging for the last kilometers, but I made it. Improved by 10 minutes compared to the last SportScheck Run in 2024, but added 2 minutes compared to my fastest HM ever at 1:44. Quite OK, it was a nice running route through the English Garden of Munich.

Recovering from a HM - chose a podcast. Not sure why I picked this one, but it was worth it. The Peter Attia Drive: #354 – What the dying can teach us about living well: lessons on life and reflections on mortality | BJ Miller, M.D. and Bridget Sumser, L.C.S.W. Episode webpage […]
