How did you get your start in Triathlons? I was never good enough to race in single-sport events. In 2002 I was told by my swimming coach – M. Waniewski, to try myself in a multisport and I got a bug… I did my first mini tri (I placed far away) and wanted to do more. Next year I was about to win this race but I got a flat tire (I guess You cannot make big success too fast in this sport) |

What is your favorite workout? I enjoy swimming (open water). Swimming is my weakest part of a tri so I like working on it. |

Finally, do you have any advice for athletes new to multi-sport competition? Unless You are in 1% of all triathletes, You are not going to make a big progress in a short period of time. Try to take everything slow and read books so You don’t have to ask too much questions. |
