Ciao Ulrike
We are more than glad You are comming and participating our event in august 2018-Triathlon attack
Tell us why Y decided to take part in this specific race?
I have done a lot of "normal" races..., but this one seems to be a real challenge in a fantastic landscape...As we checked the run course I knew that I had to come back and race.
Ahoj Ulrike
Sme velmi štastní ako organizátori, že si sa rozhodla pretekať na našom podujatí v auguste 2018 - prečo si sa rozhodla zúčastniť sa nášho podujatia?
Už som pretekala na množstve podujatí ale Vaše sa zdá byť riadnou výzvou v prekrásnom prostredí. Bola som si pozrieť bežeckú trať a hneď som vedela, že sa sem musím vrátiť na preteky.
Can Y tell us more about your sport history?
I was active in athletics since my early childhood. With my running club I did my first duathlon in 1997, in 1998 I went to my first World Champs as a Junior athlete and was infected by the virus of duathlon. After collecting a medal set at WC and EC in duathlon I wanted a new challenge and started to swim a bit...Did my first Ironman in 2007 at Lanzarote and finished 4th...After my studies in 2008 I really worked hard on my swim performance, but unfortunately did not improve that much. Nevertheless I could win some triathlons as well or stand on the podium. Last year I was at the Challenge WC in Samorin and finished 14th. But the big and commercial races are not that attractive to me anymore, because there is the neverending drafting problem with way too much racers on boring tracks...
So in my "older years" I do the races my heart tells me to do...
Aká je Tvoja športová kariéra a životopis?
V atletike som bola aktívna od svojho detstva, s mojim bežeckým klubom som robila prvý duatlon v r.1997. 1981 som išla 1x na MS ako junior a odvtedy som infikovaná vírusom duathlonu , po získaní medaili na MS a ME som chcela ďalšiu výzvu a síce plávanie. V roku 2007 som zvládla svojho prvého Ironmana v Lanzarote a skončila na 4.mieste. Po skončení štúdii v r.2008 som tvrdo pracovala na svojom plaveckom výkone, no bohužial nezlepšila som sa dostatočne. No napriek tomu som vedela vyhrať nejaké triatlony a obsadiť pódiové umiestnenie. Posledný rok som bola Challenge MS v Šamoríne a skončila som na 14. mieste. No veľlké a komerčné preteky sú už pre mňa neatraktívne, pretože prinášajú nekončiaci sa problém príliš veľa pretekárov na nudných tratiach. Takže v mojich "starších" rokoch robím podujatia, ktoré mi povie moje srdce.
Lets talk about Your hobbies more...
Sport is hobby and profession...I really like different kind of sports like Tennis, Inlineskating, ballsports in general. I like to be in the nature, especially in the mountains, if there ist time to do so.

How looks Your winter?
Because I teach more lessons in a Fitness Club than in summer (Indoorcycling, Functional training, different health care courses) I still have a lot of sports to do... But Cycling and especially Running outside can be really nice, also in winter...Sometimes it is also nice to have a little more time for the other hobbies.
And every year we visit friends on crete island so we have a little summer and training in our winter.
Ako vyzerá Tvoja zima?
Pretože učím veľa hodín v zime indoor vo Finess klube/ indoor bike, funkčný tréning, rôzne zdravotné kurzy.../ som stále v pohybe. Ale bike a beh vonku sú nenahraditeľné aj v zime. Niekedy je zas fajn mať čas na koníčky. Každý rok navštevujem priateľov na Kréte -tam mám trošku leta a následne trénujem u nich aj v zime.
What Do Y know about Slovakia
Peter Sagan was born there!
I can say that I really love being there...I enjoy the beautiful and pure nature, the mountains (not so many tourists like elsewhere)...And I really like their sports events, they have true sportsmanship :)
Co vieš teda o Slovensku?
No predsa sa tu narodil Peter Sagan
Musím povedať, že som tu veľmi rada. Mám rada čistú prírodu, hory /kde nie je až tak veľa turistov, ako inde/ a mám rada slovenské športové podujatia a ich atmosféru.
