After some months of relatively high mileage running my estimated Vo2Max has increased to 55ml/min/kg, a value I have never achieved previously in my whole life. Despite a few setbacks due to some short periods of minor illness I managed to stay in peak shape. As for coding I looked into Scala and brushed up my functional programming knowledge a bit. Added e-mail forwarding and stock value tracking to my telegram bot, which made several apps on my phone superfluous. Spent quite a substantial amount of time on studying and playing chess, then reached yet another plateau. Inflation and economy in Austria still not rosy. Europe is currently experiencing heat waves, not a good sign for coming years. My daughter will start a new school in September. She managed to finish her last four years with the best grades only making her dad proud.

That’s me cruising up the Hochalpenstrasse on Großglockner - Austria’s highest mountain.
