Your colleagues have nominated you for Inspiration of the Month in August, based on your outstanding performance in swimming. Please tell us how did you start swimming and why did you choose it?
Actually I started to swim quite late in my childhood, I was about 12 years old at that time. But three years ago I realized that I would like to participate in a triathlon competition, but what prevented me to finish the race was swimming.

Last year I participated in my first long-distance triathlon – Ironman . It is one of the most difficult sporting events in the world and I managed to finish the race. Once again I reached best personal result in swimming while the rest… nothing special . Well I wasn’t the last one in the competition, my result was amongst the best 30% of all participants, which was more than expected. I was planning to participate also this year, but didn`t manage to organize everything in time. Woke up too late when it was too hard to manage everything in time. But next year for sure I will try to participate in Ironman once again.
Ironman happens all across the Europe, in which country did you participate?
Last year it took place in Croatia. It`s very interesting that for the race Ironman team pick up very nice places. It`s good from tourist point of view and it is almost like a holiday. Anyway tomorrow I have the last triathlon this season in Romania and it will be on Olympic distance.
Will the distance be the same length as in the Olympics?
Yes, it means 1.5 km swimming, 40 km biking and 10 km running.
Good luck! In how many competitions have you participated in total?
