How did you come to triathlon and what sporting past do you have?

After 27 years of handball sport, I decided to learn how to do a good crawl. Thanks to the motivation from the swim squad "Now the lead duck can stay afloat, you'll probably be able to walk straight as a handball player, and we'll also teach you how to cycle!" I dared to try this sport to try, discovered my passion, and finally found a team that supports me in my further development.

What do you like most about the sport?

As a former team athlete, I enjoy training with friends and acquaintances, measuring strength together, and ultimately the non-alcoholic, hop-containing electrolyte drink in the finish area.

Which result are you particularly proud of?

First half distance in St. Pölten at 12 degrees outside temperature and pouring rain - thanks to everyone who supported me!

What do you do besides sport (work, family, ..)?

Self-employed entrepreneur (real estate trustee) – himself and constantly. But work and sport are my hobbies.

How do you manage to balance family, work and sport?

Through structured training planning and the opportunity to integrate my training into my everyday work (you can run anywhere, and my trunk is always full...). The charging station for mental well-being is nature and of course family and friends.

Describe yourself in 4 words?

What what I? or: purposeful, creative, open-minded, fast (tired).

Your life motto?

Sorts motto? The customer is king, I'm just emperor... hang loose.
