Knuspar.dk er en personlig blog skrevet af Thomas Mortensen med indlæg om rejser, dykning, venner, træning, video og oplevelser fra både hverdagsliv og særlige ture. Bloggen har et arkivpræg med ældre indlæg om blandt andet Reborn Raw, løb, events og træningsoplevelser, men er også blevet genoptaget med nyere indhold fra en tur til Egypten og Hurghada, hvor dykning, venskaber og rejseoplevelser bliver samlet i tekst og video.
Bloggen blander dansk og engelsk og har en afslappet, personlig tone, hvor indlæggene ofte fungerer som minder, rejseberetninger eller små logbøger over ting, der har været værd at gemme. Her er ikke tale om et poleret magasin, men en klassisk personlig weblog, hvor billeder, video, resultater, oplevelser og refleksioner ligger side om side. Knuspar.dk passer til læsere, der holder af danske personlige blogs med fokus på dykning, rejser, træning og gode historier fra et aktivt liv.
Arkivet giver især mening som en personlig tidslinje over interesser og oplevelser, hvor både nye og gamle indlæg viser hvordan rejser, sport og venskaber har fyldt i forskellige perioder.
2024 Egypt, Hurghada Sat, 08 Jun 2024 20:47:34 +0000 Små ti år siden sidste indlæg, og det er da heller ikke fordi der skal til at være en voldsom aktivitet her. Det var efterhånden bare lidt trættende altid at se det forrige opslag med alle de Reborn Raw billeder fra 2014 – selvom det var gode minder ;) Så det blev en lille tur til Egypten som en “combi tur”, dels for at se en vens hotel, dels for at komme på tur med 3 kammerater – 2 af dem som jeg havde med på Honduras i 2009 – og den 3. en som jeg har kendt siden jeg var knægt, som faktisk også dykkede uafhængigt af os i Honduras omkring samme tid. Så det blev til en “dyk & druk” tur på Caves Beach Resort i Hurghada, samt lidt dyk hos http://www.newsonbijou.com/. I et forsøg på at forevige det så det samtidig er nemt lige at vende tilbage til, har jeg samlet en lille video af undervands delen fra turen, det er der kommet denne video ud af:
Reborn Raw – Prison Escape, Horsens Wed, 29 Oct 2014 21:48:08 +0000 After participating in the opening race of Reborn Raw, near Lederborg castle back in September on the 10 kilometer distance. I was convinced to try out the 20 kilometer distance as well. So I signed up for the Reborn Raw Prison Escape Horsens 2014 Vol. 3 race, 20 kilometers, 39 obstacles. I knew it would be a challenge, since my longest run ever was 12,7 kilometers 9 days before Reborn Raw. I decided to give it a go, hoping that my fitness level due to cross-fit, was high enough to get me through. I would say it was, as we completed the 20 kilometer course 2 minutes faster than i did the 10 kilometer run in September. This time 6 boys running where as in Roskilde we were 4 boys and 4 girls. I was actually quite shocked that we did it in 1:56, especially since we never ran faster or gave ourselves more, that we were able to talk while running. I’m very proud of our effort, but at the same time a little bit disappointed that we didn’t give the extra 10% we probably had, and g
Reborn Raw Sun, 07 Sep 2014 19:38:02 +0000 After convincing myself that I have reached a sufficient fitness level, I decided to tag along with a bunch of guys and girls from my local Crossfit box for a obstacle run. Theres a new concept run, called Reborn Raw, supposedly the toughest obstacle race on the planet! My furthest run ever is 10 kilometers, although that’s over two years ago, I decided to stick with the Vol 1. version of the run which is a 8-10 KM run. I really wanted to do the 18-20, but was too unsure if i could do it, so next time perhaps :D The run was fun and challenging, with lots of running on slopes and nice challenging obstacles. We came as a team, 8 of us from Grenaa, and we participated as a team, which felt great. I was a little bit disappointed when we came in with the time of 1:58 because it was only 10 kilometers, but as we found of the fastest on the 10 km track was 1:24, it was okay :-) I did not bring anything to take pictures of track anything, so all i have is pictures and video from before a
CrossFit! Thu, 10 Jul 2014 11:56:12 +0000 Back in January, i stepped up onto our weight and was chocked a the huge gain I have had the past years! In short, i was weighing a total of 108,3 kilograms! At a height of 184 centimeters, that’s quite a large BMI of 32. I was chocked and decided to act upon it. So i finally decided to tryout Cross Fit, and did I find what i was looking for? Oh yes. Although Cross Fit as such did not give me any significant weight loss, it came from putting myself on a diet. No more starch basically and no more weekend candy. I’m now at 95,2 kilos with a BMI of 28,1, my fat percentage has dropped from 25,2% to 17,2% since early February, and I’m happy as hell. In fact my metabolic age dropped from 44 to 23. So how did Cross fit do that to me? I got motivated! In the sense that the people in our box, were helpful, open minded and not at all judging. Where I previously went to the local gym and you felt like looked down upon unless you were a bodybuilder look-a-like. If you’re co
Graphics Card Crash – And why EVGA is my preferred choice! Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:46:14 +0000 So, after not being home for a weekend, I come home and turn on my computer, there’s a weird windows kernel graphics driver error, and my Graphics card somehow seems to obtain a flaw! I try rebooting the computer as i suspected it being an error in windows, but no change. So i try to uninstall the driver and re-install it, without and results. Video of the attempt to install the video card driver can be seen here. So, after concluding my card is busted, I go to www.evga.com and log into the site, fill out a support ticket, as I bought my 580 GTX there years back. And as i back when i got it, registered the card within the 30 day limit, I am apparently entitled to a 10 year limited warrenty. On top of this, support replies, that from what i described i should RMA the card. 3 days later, the UPS guy is in my Driveway, and gives me a package from EVGA, containing a EVGA GeForce GTX 670 Signature 2 card :-O So basically they upgraded me as well, since the 580 GTX weren’t in s
