Quick little tool

by cimddwc · 2025-07-22

As a runner or something like that you sometimes want to convert from pace – i.e. the time per kilometer – and speed – i.e. kilometers per hour – and find numerous pages online for this purpose, some by established fitness magazines, some rather dubious, and until you found one that doesn’t want to sell you spy cookies from eleventydozen “partners” and/or newsletter and/or magazine subscriptions, you may get annoyed. So I quickly wrote a little page here for this purpose that’s also available via the menu bar at the top (under “Resources & more”):

Main Square Sports

Next Pabuca topic…

This time, I had to take some photos from the archive – because even though there are quite a few sportive activities in the middle of the town on the main square, these dates don’t obey the Pabuca topic timeline…

Let’s start with an activity during the Bayern-Rundfahrt, a Bavarian bike race which once had a leg start or end in Pfaffenhofen – while the modern cyclists were awaited or seen off on the main area, there were some old bicycles at the side:

Some other time, they filled the area with sand so people can jump up and down and get rid of a ball (which, however, always came back):

And once there was a beer crate rallye (which usually takes place outside of the city center) – the drivers had to move sticks one by one from one crate to the other along a course:

Reflections

“Reflections” is the current Pabuca topic, and here are only wet reflections:

It’s not a big puddle, so there’s not a lot of the town hall tower reflecting in it:

During weather that’s not that well suited for open-air pool visits, there’s “not much” going on in the diving pool, only the wind causes slight ripples:

When it rains, there are hardly any noticeable reflections visible – still, it would have been suited for mental reflections while reflecting between the pool edges oneself; rain doesn’t really bother when inside the pool (as long as it’s thunderstrom-free). Of course it only started raining that much when I was finished swimming…
