Statistically speaking, 2008 was a really good year: 25 gold, 9 silver and 7 bronze medals out of 42 races.
But what is much mre important: I begin to see that yes, I can beat the other girls, even if I am “young” in terms of sports experience. Everything is decided up in your head – how true…
Besides the races, I made a very important and responsible decision: I will be an IRONMAN next year! I really got infected, there’s no escape. 
Finally, as winter came, I got to know the toughest winter “fun” called winter triathlon (consisting of runinng, mountain biking and cross-country skiing). Love at first sight.
