Why/How did you get into triathlon? 

My wonderful wife saw an advertisement in early 2016 for a Triathlon event in Vancouver, so she 'made' me sign up because she knew my love for the sport back home in Germany.
I was instantly hooked again. Then I signed up to challenge myself for a Half Ironman in 2017.
Repeated this in 2018 and raced in some Olympic events.
Why? Mostly for my mental health, challenge myself, and just the love for endurance sports. It improves my quality of life, especially when you cannot control things on the outside. It fills my bucket!

What do you love most about the LWT? 

I found the Lake Whatcom Triathlon in 2019 and to this day it is by far my favorite event.
The people and organization are top-notch, and the after-race food is superb. Race Photos are great and overall, they are incredible value for money.

What is your go-to post-race meal?

Tacos are great along with some Chocolate Milk. 
At home, I then like to finish the day off with a good cold German Beer.
