How did you come to triathlon and what sporting past do you have?
Since I live in Carinthia, I said to myself that I have to take part in the Ironman Austria in Klagenfurt at least once in my life. No sooner said than done – and this year it will be the sixth time. Basically, my athletic background is cycling and military pentathlon.
What do you particularly like about the sport?
Triathlon is varied and demands the whole body.
Which result are you particularly proud of?
I am particularly proud of my 3rd place at the Austrian Championships in the M40 class over the long-distance in Podersdorf.
What do you do besides sport (job, family, ..)?
I work as a DGKP at the Klagenfurt Clinic and have a 13-year-old daughter with whom I spend a lot of time.
How do you manage to balance family, work and sport?
This is only possible with good time management and a lot of understanding from the family!
Describe yourself in 4 words?
Ambitious, goal-oriented, helpful, and understanding.
Your life motto?
What I’ve experienced so far, the experiences I’ve had, nobody can take away from me.
