„Fasten your seatbelts, lean back, and enjoy my triathlon story…“

“Brutal. Beautiful. Unforgettable.” 🇫🇷🔥

Ironman France in Nice is one of the toughest races in the world – steep climbs, heat that takes your breath away, and a course that demands everything you have.

Crossing that finish line was more than just another victory.
It was proof that strength is not about avoiding the pain – it’s about moving through it.

France showed me that beauty and struggle often come hand in hand.
And sometimes, that’s exactly what makes a moment unforgettable.

The preparation was anything else but great. We focused on IM703Luxemburg one week ago but there was a DNF caused my a torn chain ⛓️‍💥. 4 days later I flew to Nice to give it a try without any long distance preparation.
Thanks to Brett who pushed me so far beyond my comfort zone and limits.🧡

“Grateful for days like this.”

Today I had the privilege to join a panel in Zurich with SwissLife Select, organized by athletes network.
I met so many inspiring and genuine people.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my story from sport and from life.

Life has so many layers, so many chapters.
And even when you think you’ve reached your peak – and have to let go of it – the journey doesn’t stop.
It simply changes.
And new peaks will come.

To everyone reading this: don’t fear the next chapter, even if it looks different than the last. The beauty is in discovering what else is possible. ✨

“Leave space between what was and what will be.” ☀️

Summer has a way of teaching us this.
The sun warms your skin, the days feel endless, and for a moment, nothing else matters.
It’s a reminder to simply be here.

Life can change in an instant – I know this more than ever. But in between the past and the future, there’s a space where you can breathe, heal, and find yourself again.

To the athletes chasing their next race, to those recovering from setbacks, to anyone who’s lost someone or something they love:
Don’t rush through this space.
Live it. Feel it. Let it shape you.

Because this is where life quietly teaches us what really matters. 🌿

“Everything happens for a reason – even if we can’t see it yet.”

We all go through moments that break us, change us, and force us to start over.
But looking back won’t take us forward.

Every step, even the painful ones, shapes the person you’re meant to become.
So keep your eyes on the road ahead.
The best chapters are still unwritten. ✨

“You don’t always need to push harder. Sometimes, you just need to roll through it.”

While I’m sharing a few special moments from my career with you this week, I’m also learning what balance really means – in sport and in life.

To all the athletes out there:
Your worth isn’t measured in watts, times, or podiums.
It’s in your mindset, your fight, and the way you show up – even on the hard days.

Keep going. Keep growing.
And don’t forget to feel your journey while you’re on it. 🌿
