  • Description:

    Before I was a professional triathlete: I was a normal guy (well like today, he he) who studied at the university and enjoyed playing different sport.
    Describe your introduction to triathlon: I made my debut when I was 15, I swam at my hometown swimming pool and the local triathletes encouraged me to try it, from that day I got fascinated for this sport.
    Who has influenced your triathlon career the most/and how? My dad. Simply because he is and he has always been my biggest support.
    Which event do you most look forward to each year and why? Every four years is the Olympic Games. Otherwise I don't have a specific favorite event. Any of the WCS or even a non-drafting race in the US, like Dallas (US Open Triathlon).
    What do you consider your biggest accomplishment as a triathlete? Being able to live doing what I love to do every day, which is triathlon.
    Training partners? I train a lot by myself. When I'm at home I train with some local triathletes. When I'm in training camps in Australia I'll train with Greg Bennett.
