After diving into the world of triathlon last year and competing in both the London T100 Olympic Triathlon and the Dorney Sprint Triathlon, I decided to challenge myself with the IronMan 70.3 distance for 2025. I set an ambitious goal of completing it in under 6 hours.

I watched more movies in 2024 than I did in 2023, but went less to the cinema (13 times in 2024 vs 18 times in 2023), likely due to more interesting movies releasing in 2023. But I did go watch Dune 2 twice at the BFI IMAX (why not?)
If you’ve been reading this blog, you know my hobbies often shift between sport challenges, gaming, stamp collecting, data visualisation and many more. But lately, I’ve been devoting some of my free time diving into the world of launching small software startups, a concept you might be familiar with from @marc_louvion’s Shipfast, or from @levelsio or @dannypostmaa on X.
