Goals
always to reach the finish, even on the days when things don't go smoothly… and once my boys are a bit older, to finish another Ironman or some other long distance
Something I've always wanted to say
A big thank you to our coach Hugo and his deputies. I really enjoy being a member of the "Triamt", the sessions we do together and the relaxed time spent as a group.
From Nicole: "How did you get into triathlon?
After watching a report on the Ironman Hawaii in October 2014, I signed up for the Ironman 2015 in Zurich and for a front crawl course. Back then I still couldn't really swim!!! Then came my first triathlon in Murten in the spring, as preparation.
