Hobbies
 
I am still a passionate middle and long-distance runner. More than a decade ago I lived and trained at the Olympic Centre in Saarbrücken. In 1990 I was German Champion with the men's team in cross-country running. Feel free to beat some of my personal records: 2:25min (1000m), 3:49min (1500m), 8:14 (3000m), 14:13min (5000m), 30:04min (10000m). Since 2004 I am occasionally starting again in some street races; here are some recent results.
 
Recently, I have also become an enthusiastic diver. Furthermore, I like skiing and reading newspapers.
