Sometimes it is hard to accept what your body tells you. It doesn`t matter, if you theorethically know that it is not good for your health. The mind tells you to keep going and thats what you do. Because you came that far, because you trained so hard to reach the level, because you invested so much time and sweat, because you don`t wan`t to lose it, because you have a goal before your eyes and now that it came so near you can nearly reach for it, you do not want to take a step back. It is...

Since the Austrian Triathlon Championships are just around the corner and I decided to participate even thought I had a long break because of a nasty injury, I have to do the final preps. So today was the final practise as well as a nice evening swim in the sidearme of the Danube. The Vienna Open Water became a little tradition and I wanted to defend my victory from the last 2 years. I swam very well and could improve my time from last year by over 40sec! This is a nice little motivation and...

Take a look! This video shows our trainingscamp, or at least a little output ;) As I already mentioned in one of the last posts, it was great and gave me a lot of motivation back. But this didn`t work out very long for me...only 2 weeks later I had to stop running and couldn`t even participate in the EM Qualification. This broke my heart, because I felt good, but my legs are overtrained. So no running for at least a month, combined with physical therapy to get my legs working again! Meanwhile I...

Blue sea, salty air, bright sun in the blue sky burning down, awesome trainingsbuddys, the funniest coaches, the absolutely best breakfast&dinner buffets, hard trainingsessions, tons of sweat, Willys famous food place and a great atmosphere. I think these are the perfect conditions to improve. Even if I had to push my body to the limit, which wasn`t always nice to watch, and I felt like existing only of sore muscles, I felt myself improving day by day. And this feeling kept me pushing,...

I can happily announce that I am an official sports-science (Spowi) student! After 2 weeks of intense preperation in combination with sore muscles, I passed the exams! I am really proud because only a few manage to get in within the first try. But I had to pay the tribute for those 3 weeks of non-specific practise. The WTRV-Testung really didn`t go too good for me. Swimming was a disaster, whereas running was acceptable. Nevertheless I was highly motivated afterwards because I have seen what I...

Todays cycling tour was pure torture. It was the first ride after my season break and it sure as hell will leave me with sore muscles tomorrow. The conclusion: Never underestimate older cyclist, they are even worse than the young ones :P Regardless of the consequences on the day after!

No I am not doing one of those "please help me these people are crazy" kind of grin. I just can`t handle grinnig underwater and making pictures at once. Thats just too much to be able to look normal. But it Kind of is true that These People are crazy! But in the best way! By the way I started working at Hutchison 3 as a Release Coordinator! My first real Job! At the beginning it was really exciting but after 2 weeks now it gets a bit boring from time to time. But I guess thats Standard. On...

This weeks practise were tough! Like really tought! 19 hours of pushing my limits. Over 200km on my bike, 40km on the track and 15km in the pool. I am proud of myself and will keep this level up as long as I can. In 3 weeks the austrian championships in the discipline "Aquathlon" are coming up and I really want to show what I am capable of! I want to kick some asses ;)

After a horrible week of trying to understand why things happen as they do and an uncontrolled weightloss, it really wasn`t the best idea to participate at the 7.Sparkasse Supaman Sprint triathlon this weekend. I had rough days behind me and felt the lowest I ever felt in my life. Anyways I was too stubborn to admit that I am breakable. After a nice swim where I took the lead, it wasn`t long until I got caught on the very hard and difficult bikecourse. I felt my strenght ebbing away with every...
