4:40 am. The alarm clock goes off and I`m on my feet. Last check, everything is done and then we`re in the car and on the airport. It`s the day I waited for since winter. I`ll be racing in the 2nd Bundesliga in Germany! I am so excited! After 1,5h we arrived in Frankfurt and after an additional 30min we got to Darmstadt, where we stayed during the trip. At the race location everything was prepared for the next days races. Unfortunately the weather god didn`t play along and I couldn`t check out...

The first triathlon is in the books! After all the adrenalin and happiness drained my body, I am now able to analyze my season opener race from a different view. Short version: Swim was nice actually, Bike was "not the yellow from the egg", Run was okay, which makes it a "well done". But first things first. As my working colleague and buddy in crime, Miss J and I left work on saturday, we looked at each other and we both had the same question on our minds: Are we ready for tomorrow?-Miss J had...

125k with 600hm...easy peasy? Nope. Not around the Neusidlersee. It was my first cycling marathon and I dedcided to take part on the day before raceday. I thought it would be a nice practise ride and I felt strong on the bike so I wanted to test how good I am. Roland (my chef) and I strated from the very last row and had to go hard on the first 30k to get in a better group. We did a lot of work in the front of the packs to get to the front. Finally we had a group that did fit quiet well....

What a day! After a hard week full of practise and university stuff, and a rough night that ended no earlier than 3am in the morning, I didn`t want to leave my comfy bed at all. The previouse night we had a Christmas Party that ended in dancing like crazy in a club😂 Additional I am fighting against a light cold, so I really didn`t feel that motivated as I had to get up. Nevertheless I had 4 starts ahead and wouldn`t miss a single one! It went very well, 2 Seconds places in 50m butterfly and...

At this place, years ago, I watched my first Elite Race and In dreamed about competing as well one day. 2018 it was time to finally do so. The Grand Prix in Klein Engersdorf is known for the difficulty of the course. It's completely different to the crits at the cyclodrom. Heavy breathing, sweat running down your face, burning lungs, legs on fire, what else do you want? Because of these experiences I am feeling more comfortable when thinking of Triathlons. Because I know that I can do it, I...

3 years ago I had the race of my Life in Podersdorf. I got 3rd overall as youngest participant and best austrian athlete. It was a blast and I love thinking back to it. I was so lucky I could share this moment with my loved ones. 3 years later, same location, but a lot has changed. Besides getting older and wiser(joking, actually not much different than before), I did not forget my goal to win the sprint distance. Well luck was not on my side on this day...heavy rain, storms, high waves and...

That's why I wasn't competing in cycling crits for a while: because you suffer and wish you were dead instead so it won't hurt anymore...🚴😓 As good as the first race went, as much was I suffering on the final raceday of the ghisallocup Cup 2017. 24k = 24rounds at lunchtime. The sun was burning right down at us and the wind was getting stronger by every round. After half of the race I couldn't keep Up at the attacks and had to let them go. The next 12km where the hardest 12k I ever rode....

Races · 22. August 2017

After 3 years, I decided to race again on this course. The cyclodrom is known for its summer crits and because of my injury, I had to pass on a lot of races, so I looked for something that would fit into my plan. As I noticed that there is a new host to the races I became curious and took a closer look. There happen to be seperate women races! This is just too cool, because when I was racing there 3 years ago, the women had to compete with the men in one race. So I decided to participate and it...

Ups and Downs are part of life I guess. So after the miserable start in the season in Maria Lankowitz at the Austrian Champs, this race went better. Despite my leg-problems I could take part at the International Kitz Tri Games. I was surprised by the big starting field at the Juniors Race, we were nearly 50 Girls! It was amazing because usually we are no more than 15 Girls. Nevertheless it was horrible to swim. After 100m we had the first turn, heading back to the shore for the next round. On...
