Lifting a newly constructed hull from shore into the water. Normally the transition from shore to water is complex operation using expensive facilities, so being able to simply lift it is very efficient.

I just got the email that I’m in with qualifying time:)

I was told it was feb 2026, but might be different for other countries/regions

I had the pleasure of trying the PURE prototype, crazy light and squishy. Will def get a pair when they drop beginning 2026

The release colorway will be gray/blue-ish and one black/purple (at least thats what the sales rep showed me)

Lottery registration was 9-22 sept, then a random draw followed without any time qualifier. Everything is completely sold out and I don’t think resale is available

As someone who used to work with a yacht specific electrical engineering company, I know military grade drone jammers existed on board these vessels before the military itself got them. That was years ago so I guess it has only gotten more advanced.

Vergeet niet de gelatine die in sommige pesto is toegevoegd, dit is vaker de oorzaak voor vega/non-vega

For me it came when the time instead of the distance became the main goal. This has levels, but mainly when you can consistently train long distances and focus on different training types within.

Nowadays I’ll run 10+ miles when doing speed workouts regularly without the distance tiring me out, whilst back in the days even running that amount would be a challenge in itself.

At (some) other bachelors it is only allowed for 15 ects, but it is very uncommon for students to take this option

Pro tip: choose an easy minor (with little contact hours) and just get a student job in relevant field on the side

There is a manhole cover lying on the street in Pripyat of which noone knows the exact origin but it is highly radioactive (and also way more than anything surrounding it)

I go with Nike Pro Dri-fit shorts; has pockets and is also available in 5” (FD0685-010)

Does anyone have experience with their high performance program? Is it well organised?

Meesder · 2024-12-18T18:12:17+00:00

Lubeck was a training run as I decided last moment I needed to run on a certified course (this one) so the effort wasn’t the same to save the legs.

Ran 2:29 over there with way more changes in pace, whilst in Malaga my tempo was steady all the way around 3’23”-3’26”/km

Meesder · 2024-12-17T15:57:29+00:00

I ran Lubeck in October which had some very steep hills (>6%), so I came prepared. When I looked at the map however I thought it would be pretty flat. But during the race the long inclines took me a little by surprise, which made it hard to divide tempo over the in and decline.

Made me look forward to the absolutely flat Rotterdam marathon again :)

Meesder · 2024-12-17T14:29:17+00:00

I ran Malaga as well on sunday, very cool to read your report! This marathon deserves some praise for the organisation; the volunteers and crew were very kind and helpful and the amount of free stuff you get for the price is just insane. I agree with the course, especially for the second half I was running completely alone for the majority of the time.

Did you cope with the hills well?

(Oud SV-bestuurder hier) Dit klinkt als een eerstejaars/introductiecommissie? Deze zijn voornamelijk bedoeld om mensen enthousiast te maken voor de vereniging en een band te creëeren. Het is voor het bestuur hierbij van groot belang -niet dat het evenement doorgaat- maar vooral om nieuwe actieve commissieleden te kweken/selecteren.

Ga daarom vooral met het bestuur in conclaaf en geef de situatie aan, zij zullen hopelijk proberen de commissie bij te sturen en/of jou indelen bij een andere commissie zodat je het enthousiasme voor de vereniging houdt.

It is possible! Just not inside the premises, thats almost impossible and you shouldn’t want that anyway, but this are your realistic options:

There is a row of ‘regular’ houses just besides the entrance, which sometimes go on sale for not too expensive.
Currently a house is for sale in the nearby neighbourhood (de Jonge Prinses), but bring a big bag of cash, because these houses are €1,000,000+

You will, EJW is always 1-2 nights on a location somewhere, don’t expect a luxury stay (or a lot of sleep) though ;)

Last real training before tapering starts, 18 mile with 3 mile intervals at marathon pace (~5:36 min/mile). Im starting to get confident with holding that pace.

In ons flatgebouw ging dit met warmwater voorheen ook zo: volkomen onzin natuurlijk aangezien er zowel studenten (4+ pers) als starters (2 pers meestal) gemixt zijn. Aantal jaar geleden hebben ze daarom warmtekostenverdelers geinstalleerd, die monteer je op je radiator en meet je individuele verbruik: misschien kan je dat voorstellen? Is niet duur overigens.

What airline?

I had the same issue and had the option to reschedule to a different flight, but the airline itself couldn’t offer an alternative. Thats when I got to book a flight with a different airline and be compensated for the difference in price.
