What is your history with sports and athletics?
I’ve always practiced sport. I was a swimmer when I was a teenager and then a runner. Lately I’ve started to bike ride to get ready for a triathlon.
What do you enjoy most about being an athlete?
I love to push my limits, it makes me feel alive. I love the way my body responds to training. I love the pain that comes after the training and of course I love to stay in nature, breathe the air, the sun and the wind.
Have you experienced any challenges or obstacles?
I have four kids, so for a few years I stopped exercising. But then I set a goal to have something to be motivated. That was to run the NYC marathon for my 40th birthday. I made it and never stopped practicing since then.
What is your “why?”
The joyful feeling I have right after the training and the stress of everyday leaving my body.
What’s next?
I’d like to do an Olympic triathlon as soon as possible.
