Please tell me the prequel of Running Back in Time: Discovering the Formula to Beat the Aging Process and Get Younger (Younger Than Ever Book 2). You are an inspiration! What made you become a triathlete?

Hi Preethi, thanks for asking:)
Actually, I started with quite a moderate physical activity, like one hour, three times a week, the main motivation being to strenghten my immune system.
Then, someone asked me: "if you swim, run and ride a bike, why wouldn't you try a triathlon?" it was supposed to be a joke, but I thought, that's a good idea - I like challenges. It was a long way, I progressed slowly, with injuries holding me back. On the way I learned a lot: techniques for good running & swimming, physiology, sport nutrition, how to cope with injuries & especially how to avoid them. I loved the process! I'm enjoying very much the mornings like today: one hour swimming in the ocean and then two hour running - then I feel really young:)
