Hola de Granada! Somehow, I am back across the pond AGAIN! This time, I’m in Spain for a microfluidic conference called MicroTAS.

Welcome back! I’m sure you’re all eager to know how my night ended after setting a personal record at the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen… Did I stay up partying at the club until 6:30 am like in Prague? Did I hang out in my room all night? Did I explore the city some …
Today was the BEST last day in Copenhagen. Despite my fears of having walked too much and slept too little these past few days, I woke up energized and ready to run. The race technically started at 9 am, but since there were 40,000 runners competing in the half marathon today, I didn’t have to …
Today, my primary goal was to walk the least amount as possible so that I can have fresh legs for the race tomorrow. Did I succeed? No. Did I have a great time? Of course! Here’s how my day went: I slept in as late as I could, which was 8:30 am. Surprisingly, everyone in …
