It's been a while since I last posted here 😅
In case you are wondering what I've been doing:
As always I spent a lot of time in the climbing gym and on various speedclimbing competitions (in Poland, Italy, Germany and Austria) 🔥🚀
In addition to that, I've been working a lot on the speedclimbing stopwatch V2 which is now almost complete and will hopefully be released in the next few weeks ⌚ 
Just tried out #lvgl on an #esp32 and I have to say, it's by far the best graphics framework I have ever used on a microcontroller!
My current usecase is pretty basic but lvgl can do a lot more.
New Laptop -> new custom sticker 🚀
The European games in Krakow were unlike every other competition I have ever competed in!
The biggest difference to normal competitions was the Athletes' village: all the 2000 athletes, competing in 28 disciplines, lived together in a couple of buildings right next to each other!
The next big difference was the opening ceremony: It was huge! All of us walked into the completely filled stadium one nation after the other. It was a great experience which cannot be explained in words.

Another impression from the European cup in Liébana last weekend - my first competition of the 2023 season.
As I already mentioned, it was really hard to stay focused and do clean runs due to the bad circumstances. However, I still managed to keep my head together and made it to the 7th place, which is my best result in a European Cup yet!

Let's back this up with some data!
I calculated how close every athlete came to their pb and took the average over all male finalists:
In Liébana, that resulted in a value of 1.030 seconds. That is worse than every single competition in all of 2022 and 2021! As a comparison: in Tarnów (1.5 months ago), that value was -0.100 seconds (the average athlete improoved their pb by 0.100s)!
That data shows, that Liébana was objectively the hardest european cup in the last two years!
European cup in Liébana was cold, wet and slippery.
The most dominant problem was the wall, which, due to low friction, lead to many athletes (including me) having a hard time getting up there without slipping. Everyone had to climb with a tightened handbrake to avoid mistakes.
Although I had hoped for better times initially, I'm really happy with my performance now, considering the circumstances. I was able to keep my head together, do many clean runs, and even improve my PB!

Pretty basic sketch, but nice to see it work in Rust!
#rust  on #esp32 ! Very excited to try this out, we'll see how it goes :)
And the next step...
Is it useful? No
Do I like it? Yes!
