Why triathlon?
because I really love training in different sports. I also think the sense of togetherness among the athletes is great, I like the chat and the cheering each other on.....the brilliant atmosphere at the races, even though the nerves always get to me horribly. Just before the start there is no rivalry, people help each other and look out for one another, even though we are about to compete against each other afterwards. That is what I enjoy, and for me that is the spirit of the sport I love.
How did you end up at Triamt?
I wanted a club close to home and friends to train with and enjoy myself with. So I simply googled it.
What do you like about Triamt?
The togetherness. Training together and supporting each other. The friendships that have come out of it and the fondue evenings, as well as the race events, which sadly I can't get to that often. (shift duty - lab)
Other sports
Well, there isn't much time left during the training phase.....but otherwise I love ski touring ( sadly a rare thing these days), skiing, cross-country skiing, and I come from mountaineering / climbing. Yoga
Personal goals
To finally finish a 70.3......Without the weather getting in the way ( Zell am See...snow in August!!!¨) or an accident...
How do you reward yourself after a race
with an unbelievably good meal, an alcohol-free Erdinger and a cheesy film.....which I usually fall asleep during...
Hobbies
(besides triathlon): Enjoying life with family and friends, photography, making photo albums, cooking/baking, cinema/ theatr
Weaknesses
