Sports
Next to travelling and photograpy I do quite some sports. Race and mountain biking I like most, but in order to stay fit it requires quite some time. I therefore enjoy a quick run during lunch break or on Sunday morning. In 2001 my friends convinced me to do my first marathon and I immediately got that "virus". Since then I tried to do at least one per year.
