🤩We never stop being amazed by our Teqies, who are not only professionals at their jobs, great friends, and colleagues but also have an active lifestyle and manage to do EVERYTHING literally!
Today our Softeq Inspiration column hero, Herman Yulau - Embedded Linux Developer, runner, orienteer, mountaineer, and... this is a partial list of our Teqie's sporting hobbies!
His story will be a source of inspiration and motivation for the Teqies to come together more often for new sporting achievements!👇
"🏃🏻I have run several marathons, but not in popular cities, but trail marathons - through local forests and fields. The longest distance I ran was 70 km. 🥶In winter. Through woods and fields. In the frost. Knee-deep in snow. And it was the BEST race of my life, but I have a new challenge for myself - skyrunning. I've been dreaming about it for a long time!🌟
🧭Now I've gone from just running to orienteering! The best sport I can imagine! There is a type of orienteering called rogaining. A classic rogaine is when you are given 24 hours and a giant map. You have to score maximum points in a set amount of time, awarded for visiting checkpoints marked on the competition map. I participated in such in 2018 in the European Championship (Pre-Carpathian). Orienteering in the mountains non-stop for 24 hours, where there was probably everything: heat, thunderstorm, sunset, dawn, impenetrable night, cold, hunger. The best experience of my life! I want to do it again)
🏔️Mountains are another one of my loves.) I was in the Ukrainian Carpathians, Polish Tatra. The highest point climbed is the mountain Kazbek, 5034m.
During the pandemic, I greatly missed the mountains. Afterward, when the opportunity arose again, I decided that I could lead mountain treks myself. So, independently and as a group leader, I have hiked two times: in the Caucasus near Adygea and Turkey on the Lycian Trail.
⚽️I am also engaged in rock climbing, football, swimming, acrobatics, canoeing, and hiking - without any remarkable achievements, just for adventure."
🤝Teqies, get to know each other, travel, and seek adventure! Herman, thank you for the story!
