Day summary

I am still struggling with the jetlag. Maybe the altidude is also affecting the adaptations. I woke up again at 3am and couldn’t sleep afterwards. However, getting up early today was planned since Paul defended his PhD at 5am (Mountain Time) where I attended virtually. Well done, congrats to your academic milestone Paul. After that I had a meeting with my Master’s student in Innsbruck where we discussed the recent progress. I explored my neighboorhood with a short run and then went to find a bank for opening an account without a social security number. I made an appointment at Wells Fargo (if you know why I chose this bank you know). I also got a prepaid plan for my cell phone and an American number.

University, Research, etc.

I arrived at CU at about 2pm and started working in my shared office. i am together with two PhD students also working on computational mechanics. I also got some documentation stuff done for Marmot.

Training & Sports

In the morning I had time to go for a short 5km run exploring my immediate neighborhood Strava. It is really beautiful here. I felt good on the run, although I am feeling the altitude and the jetlag. Also my knee did not hurt.

Food & Drinks

Nothing special here. Cooked pasta with vegetables in the evening.
