When I was 14 years old I got my first experience of running orienteering in Scandinavian terrain. It was with the Youth Regional Team of Zürich and my teammates created my nickname ”pudu” during this camp. We stayed for one week in Halden, Norway. The beauty of the terrain, the pure nature, the ability to run endless hours and find controls in the smallest depression in the forest fascinated me. I found my passion.
Vor gut einem Jahr habe ich aufgehört, professionell zu trainieren. Auch wenn der Rücktritt vom Spitzensport weit im Voraus geplant war, bekundete ich lange Mühe mit der Umstellung der Prioritäten im Alltag.
Lately quite many people asked me: How big is your chance to go to European Champs this year? Well…
My goal this year was to heal my body, get pain free and fit again and have fun when running in the woods. This goal I have reached, now it is time for the next step.
The last months were dominated by this question. It’s a tricky one.
