In this blog post, I would like to reflect on my year 2024. This kind of reflection helps me realize what has happened and see where the gaps (“delta”) are between my plans and reality. Every year, I set myself some big goals and write them down in a little notebook. I love ticking items off; it provides structure and helps keep the bigger picture in mind, even when life gets in the way.
Running #
This year has been a wonderful year for running. Let’s look at the numbers:
- Total distance: 2,150.7 km
- Average weekly distance: 41.4 km
- Average monthly distance: 179.2 km
That’s roughly double what I achieved in 2023 — amazing! I’m honest with myself: I’m not sure if I can beat these numbers in 2025, but it’s worth a try.
My goal was to finish 2 out of 3 Ultras:
-
April: Ultratrail Fränkische Schweiz – Ultratrail 66km | 2760hm
- Time: 08:07:50 results-3rd-utfs-2024 is broken.
- This was my very first official Ultra. Weather-wise, it was a disaster: ice-cold temperatures, snow, rain, hail, sun… everything in one race. It really demanded everything from me at around kilometer 50. As they say, you never forget your first time.
-
June: Zugspitzen Ultra Trail – Leutasch Trail – 68km | 2870hm- Time: DNS (Did Not Start) – I just wasn’t fit enough to run this race.
-
July: 5. Crazy Runners Frankenwald Trail 2024 – 53km | 2000hm
- Time: 6:13:05 (4th place overall, 2nd place in MASTER MEN)
- This was a small event in the middle of the Frankenwald region and simply fantastic. I ran the first third together with the top runners, chatting from time to time. A solid effort in the end!
-
August: Madrisa Trail Klosters (CH) – T54 Trail – 54km | 4020hm
- Time: 10:15:51 (45th place overall, 24th men age group)
- 4,000 meters of elevation gain—what can you say? My battery was empty three times. I used every bit of energy my body (and my inner mountain goat) had to offer. The landscape was breathtaking, though there wasn’t as much “trail running” as I had expected, given the massive elevation gain.
-
September: 50. Berlin Marathon – 42.195 km
- Time: 3:29:01 (12,574th place overall, 1,950th men age group)
- All year, I’d been focusing on trail runs with a lot of vertical meters. But I was registered for Berlin, so I spent about a month training for speed. I wanted a decent time and was really happy with 3:29. I think if I trained for speed for half a year, maybe sub-3 hours could be possible.
-
Mud Masters Obstacle Run
A friend from Munich had a spare ticket. Even though swimming through muddy water isn’t really my thing, I said yes. It was great fun, and we got through it with no issues. You can (and should) do it once in your life—once!
OpenBSD and Open Source #
I made approximately 578 commits in the OpenBSD ports tree this year. That’s about 48 commits per month—kind of crazy! Here is the complete list:

A few highlights:
- VA-API was one of the biggest moves for me.
- KDE Plasma 6 and KDE Gear 24.XX (with KDE6/Qt6).
- FFmpeg 6 (credit goes to Brad for his excellent work, I just merged the final bits).
By the way, all of this was only possible thanks to your support! I used the
VM at netcup for
countless bulk(8) builds with FFmpeg6. And this VM exists because of your
generous help!
I also got more involved in the KDE project itself. My two personal highlights:
- Plasma battery charging threshold controls now work on OpenBSD. This even made it to Phoronix!
- OpenBSD sndio(7) backend support in KMix (Merge request on invent.kde.org).
Another thing that must not be forgotten is the c2k24 hackathon. It was a blast—productively and socially. One thing is for sure: a hackathon for 2025 is already planned. At least one!
Overall, it’s been a great open-source year for me.
Tech Conferences and Events #
Conferences were quite disappointing for me this year. The only one worth mentioning was KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe. My company Computacenter was a silver sponsor, and so I spent a lot of time at our booth. From that point of view, it was a success—but it left me little time for updates. That has to change this year!
Travel #
It wasn’t exactly the perfect travel year. My aim was to be more selective. Here’s the list that matched my resolutions (only Tenerife was added spontaneously):
-
Tenerife
I’ve wanted to go there for a long time, mainly because of El Teide.Teide, or Mount Teide, has a summit (3,715 m / 12,188 ft) that is the highest point in Spain, and the highest point above sea level on the islands of the Atlantic.
The highest mountain in Spain had to be climbed! My USA trip got cancelled, and my 40th birthday was at the end of November. So I spontaneously planned a trip with my wife. At the end of November, in the sunshine, escaping the birthday chaos, and climbing Spain’s highest mountain—a win-win-win situation.
The trip involved OpenBSD ports hacking on the apartment balcony, hikes, trail runs, and, of course, climbing El Teide. A perfect week.
-
Palma de Mallorca
Another perfect week for sports and daily trail runs—excellent preparation for ultra runs. Maybe you could call it a “training camp.” -
Paris
Thanks to KubeCon, I had some time to look around the city and do a lot of training runs along the Seine. -
Leipzig
A weekend city trip with a very good friend. -
Berchtesgadener Land
Relaxation, trail running, and climbing the Watzmann. -
United States
Unfortunately canceled due to illness, so my sister and her family had to travel alone. -
Tenerife
(As mentioned, this was spontaneous instead of the USA trip.)
United We Stand, Divided We Fall #
A major milestone in my life this year was my wedding to Sabina Sadowski.
2024 Final Thoughts #
This blog post is certainly not exhaustive. I’m writing these words from an apartment on the Polish Baltic Sea, where we’re enjoying some peace and relaxation before diving into the next year. 2024 was, as the saying goes, a year of ups and downs. I put a lot of focus on my physical health and learned a lot from it. Maybe I’ll write a separate blog post about all my experiments and experiences.
One notable thing: my wife and I both had laser eye surgery and no longer need glasses.
I’m not sure yet if I’ll write a detailed plan for 2025 in a separate post. Let’s see what happens.
By the way, the photo at the top shows the sunrise from the summit of Mount Teide.
