Why triathlon?
During a year abroad in Texas I discovered how much I enjoy road cycling. I had also always liked swimming and running. After coming back to Switzerland I took part with a few ski touring friends as the road cyclist, first in the Inferno team triathlon and then in a team Gigathlon. Those experiences left such a mark that I wanted to do a whole triathlon myself as soon as possible. My first Olympic distance felt a bit hectic, so my second triathlon simply had to be an Ironman.
How did you end up at Triamt?
20 years after getting into triathlon, and as my son grew older, I wanted to join a club in the area.
What do you like about Triamt
The way sport, doing your own thing, being together and good company are all combined here, plus my fit friends as a source of inspiration.
How do you reward yourself after a race
Preferably with a large beer.
Hobbies
I like spending active time with my son, my partner and her children, and I keep coming back to photography, travelling and crime fiction.
