PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETE

PUSHING BEYOND LIMITS

Swimming, cycling, running – three different disciplines, each one a challenge in itself. Put them together and you have an extreme sport that demands everything from your body and mind. Triathlon pushes me to my limits – and if things go well, a bit beyond.

Race day in Kona 🌅🔥

These photos are from my very first professional start here in Hawaii — a day I’ll never forget.
I was nervous, excited, and ready to give everything I had.
Back then, I thought success was all about performance.
Now I know — the real win is simply being there, soaking in the moment, and feeling alive. 🌊💛

Whatever comes after that is just extra.

Wishing all the incredible athletes racing today strength, patience, and joy.
Soak it in — every sunrise, every climb, every heartbeat. You’re living something truly special. 🌺✨

AND I can always repeat thx to all the people who helped me through the journey to experience this.

The calm before the storm 🌊✨
Doping tests done ✔️
Last trainings done ✔️
Silence ✔️
Right now in Kona, the energy is electric.
Legs are rested, hearts are ready.

I still remember this feeling… the ocean breeze, the butterflies, the quiet before the cannon. 🔥

I’ll always be grateful for the times I got to experience this island and its magic.

Kona changes you — it humbles you, tests you, and makes you fall in love with the sport all over again. 💛

Wishing everyone in Hawaii a smooth taper, and all of you a beautiful start into the weekend — wherever you are, live it fully. 🌺☀️

To all my friends. Keep calm you got this.😘

Right now, every athlete in Kona is waiting for that moment — the cannon, the fire, the freedom to finally race.🔥”

I still remember that feeling. The nerves, the energy, the hope. You train for months, dream for years… and then it’s just you and the island.

It breaks my heart not to be there this year — but I’m endlessly grateful to have stood on that start line three times. 🌺

Kona was never just a race. It was a lesson.
The endless heat. The wind that tests your patience. The battle inside the Energy Lab.

Each time I raced here, I learned something new about myself — that strength isn’t just in your legs, it’s in your heart. 💛

Even though my journey as a pro has ended, the spirit of Hawaii will always be part of me.
It taught me to never stop believing — even when the path changes. 🌊✨

Far away from this fitness…
The air, the salt, the sunrise… there’s truly nothing like Kona. 🌅
This week, athletes from all over the world are preparing for one of the hardest and most beautiful races on earth — the IRONMAN World Championship.

I look back with a bit of nostalgia, but also with deep gratitude.
Back then, I felt strong, alive, free. 🌊
Today, I’ve learned to feel those things in different ways — through balance, breath, and presence.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this journey, it’s this:
Enjoy every single moment.
Because you never know when it might be the last time you get to do what you love. 💛

Weekend vibes or what?

Weekends are a reminder that life isn’t just about working hard—it’s also about slowing down, enjoying the moment, and recharging for what’s ahead.

I take you with me what my life looks like now.
