Since I was a kiddo, I thouroughly sucked at sport.
Then, one day, something changed.
2010: My first Marathon
I moved to Ireland, where you need to drink 14-15 pints a week to keep training and I started getting weight. It was 2008, I was still young and 32. But Gino was growing.
The gym wasn’t, enough, I decided I would do the most incredible thing in my life: I’d run a full Marathon. I started with 10k and a half marathon, but then it was there: the Connemarathon, the hardest Marathon in the world (they told me - it wasn’t - but enough to scare me and set to purpose).
2012: My first Olympic Triathlon
2015: My first (half) Ironman
2017: My first (full) Ironman
2019: My second (full) Ironman
June 2022: A mediocre half-Ironman (Rapperswil, 🇨🇭)
Here I was tranquil like a peak; however, my performance was SO BAD that I was able to swim 2km in more than 30m (!).
Luckily, I got a green cap for free :)
