Peter Bodnar: Push your limits and enjoy inner balance

By Adam Bezeczky, Regional Communications Manager

Peter “Catchmeifyoucan” Bodnar, please tell us who you are and what you do at Httpool?

I have been with the company for 5 months now and I’m the client partner in Chechia for Twitter and LinkedIn. 

 

So you are new to the company. Have you ever participated in something like #HttpoolGrows?

No, it was my first time. I actually never counted my kilometers before, I started counting when I decided to crash the #HttpoolGrows challenge. I was curious where I would land in terms of ranking, as I also commute to work by bike. But I did not only bike, I did some jogging too, so my results were a combination of both types of exercises.

 

How did #HttpoolGrows influence your motivation? With almost 500 kilometers tracked in less than a month, you seem to enjoy sports?

Yes, I love to be active and push my limits. It’s good for inner balance and it was a nice competition after I saw that others were putting in a lot of effort. 

You and Filip are from the same office. You’ve told me you are planning to have a tour together?

Filip showed me some new routes around Prague. I like to explore new areas by bike, so that’s definitely a nice additional outcome of the #HttpoolGrows Challenge.

 

Have you got any advice for biking beginners?

Don’t be intimidated by kilometers. Just enjoy how you feel after your bike ride. And I also can only emphasize what Filip said, that the proper equipment is key for enjoying biking.

 

What kind of bike are you riding?

I have a road bike with a light frame, that’s beneficial if you are going uphill with your bike. Fortunately I can store my bike in the office, and I don’t have to leave it locked in the street.

 

Do you have anything to share with your colleagues?

I would like to take the time to thank the team for putting together this challenge! And a huge congratulations to everyone who participated!
