I have a family history in triathlon, with my father, older brother, and younger sister all participating in triathlon. Also, my father works in a triathlon shop. The person who has had the most influence on my sporting career is my father; I first took up triathlon because my father did it.

I currently train in my hometown, and during an average training week I swim for eight hours, bike for 12 hours, and run for six hours. My personal best swim time (1500m) is 19"07, bike (40km) 1:10, and run (10km) 33:33. My triathlon goal is to win an Olympic medal. The biggest obstacle I have had to overcome is a major injury.
