Performance is predictable, Success is not!
Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
Psalm 115,1
While I prepare my body for the best possible performance, I rely on God to provide a healthy body and functioning material. In the highs, I give God the glory, in the lows, I am thankful for his thougths are higher than mine. In all circumstances, I know that God will turn everything for good, for the purpose of his kingdom.

DISCIPLINES
Medium distance triathlon is my focus, cycling is my passion.
WHAT I RELY ON
My believe that there is a God who created me, who sent his Son Jesus to die for me that I may have eternal life. With my efforts and my behavior on and off the race course, I honor him with my actions and my behavior.
WHY I DO THIS
By definition of the the bible, man was made in the image of God. We are made for the purpose to glorify our Creator and we can do so by using our gifts. I'm gifted with a healthy body and I want to glorify God by using my healthy body to its potential. It also creates great oportunities to share my faith and lead fellow athletes and friends into a fullfilling life with Jesus Christ. The competitions are a side effect. As funny as this may sound; just because you're in good physical shape doesn't automatically motivate to exercise. Especially when the weather doesn't cooperate, or the sofa looks more enviting than the bike saddle. I need goals. To complete races are my goals. To finish within a certain time frame is my goal.
WHAT SUPPORTS ME
My wife and my two boys are usually not far away and help me to put things into perspective when I'm contemplating the meaning of life. Supporters: IWC - Swiss Watches, Synergy - Wetsuits and more, Radsport Schumacher Schaffhausen, Fabian Neunstöcklin/F9Training.
WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING
Sports is fun, but needs funding. Since I don't get payed for my athletic efforts, I'm working full time in an IT Management position in the logistics and retail industry to feed four hungry mouths. At the end of the day, triathlon is my hobby, while family and work obligations take preference.
WHAT I AM GOOD AT
I'm very persistent when it comes to my personality. My pursuit of perfection and attention to detail in most things I do hinder me as well as excel me. I have a very high tolerance for suffering and perserverance when it comes to athletics. Wet conditions, even though I don't like them, don't seem to bother me as much as the competition. Although I have been athletic all of my life, I might not be as talented as some of the top athletes, but I make up the difference with effort.
WHAT I CAN LIVE WITHOUT
Liars, cheaters, stupid people, cold & wet conditions, or any combination of the previous.

HOW THIS ALL STARTED
I used to play team sports. At the age of 25, I won a mountainbike in a raffle and started riding. After our children were born, I didn't have much time for organized team sport anymore. Cycling has always been an easy combination of athletics and transportation. For the first 5 years, I participated, as time went on, I started competing. As of now, I love to challenge myself, reach goals and try to continue to find my limits as health, family and motivation permits.
MY MOTTO
PERFORMANCE IS PREDICTABLE, SUCCESS IS NOT.
