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.

Almost, because I managed to perform something I have not been able to do ever since – make a big jump over the overpass of Pilis XCO Cup. Luckily, no bones broken, but an obligatory far-away from the race course. Not  a nice start of the season…

Then I got to know more about off-road triathlon – what a feeling! If only I could swim with my head in the water… 😉

Soon I got a custom-built Mali Magician road bike (blue beauty!), so I could start in some road bike and cyclocross races. The latter one is funny, as I didn’t have a cyclocross bike, but my beloved boyfriend transformed the mountain and the road bike into a cyclocross one.

Some many new sports for me this year…

And the results?

The very beginning. The reason? Pure curiosity, as I was eager to know why my elder brother, Marci, attends bike marathons… So I began to prepare for a long time (a whole summer), then I took a ride in the Mount Mátra by a cr-mo Mongoose Rockadile SX. I didin’t know waht it felt like riding a pightweight bike then, so I did not feel it so heavy. But years later… 😉

After passing the finish line I realized that the short ditance is too short for me (since Marci did the long one of 90kms), and I didn’t want to get bored while waiting for them to arrive… So no other option but doing the mid-distance!
