Private
Beside my professional interests I have several hobbies that keep me busy as well. Among them are:
- My family: so far 3 kids (Moritz, Sara and Timon) and my wife Susanne who perfectly manages all the family matters besides a great professional career at Vexcel Imaging. I have to thank them very much for their patience and for creating a great relaxing and perfect atmosphere at home. Timon, Sara & Moritz keep me "busy" all the time at home, which is really great and which reminds you of the really important things in life.
- Marathons: running is one of my passions - a
perfect balance to the hours in front of the PC. Hence, I devote
quite some time to running. So far my personal best on the
marathon distance (42,195 km) is 3:00
hours [Ljubljana 2014] 2:58:30 [Graz 2015],
and on the half marathon distance (21 km) is 1:23 hours [Udine
2010]. Besides I try to compete in some mountain running events -
e.g. "Monte Lussari Berglauf", "Lago di Garda Mountain Race"
(1700m vertical incline on 9 km distance) - with some quite good
rankings.
I have a blog about my running and marathon experiences - www.joe-laeuft.at (only in German!) - Some more things: forestry in general, hiking, cross-country and backcountry skiing, ...
