Training
Gym since high school, and swimming, cycling and running for my first triathlon. No race finished yet — the goal is Ironman 70.3 in 2027.
Padel, dance and wrestling.

House, afro house, trip hop and jazz house. I DJ at home, have played a few friends’ parties, make my own tracks and am working towards an album.

Games
Chess, poker and FIFA most of all, and Catan with friends. Four small games of my own now live on this machine: keepie-uppie on Pitch, boulder sprint on Wall, beatmatch on Music and triathlon on Training.

Tap the ball to keep it off the grass. Where you hit it decides where it drifts. Space works too.

Problem of the day
Touch the yellow holds in order, from START up to TOP. The clock starts on the first hold. Any other colour costs 2 seconds. Everyone gets the same wall today.
Topped out.

The left deck is playing. Bring the right one in time with it: set its tempo with the pitch fader, nudge the jog wheel until the kicks land together, then press MIX. Five tracks. The meter helps on the first three; the last two are by ear. Sound on.

A 70.3 — 1.9 km swim, 90 km bike, 21.1 km run — shortened to about two minutes. Tap in rhythm: strokes, pedal turns, steps. The ring shows a pace you can hold. Tap faster and you go faster, but your heart rate climbs into the red and your energy burns; run out and you hit the wall. In T1 and T2, tap when the light turns green. Space works too.
Finish.
