40 years of sports is more than just a hobby; it’s a balance, a way of living and feeling. I was first drawn to indoor sports more than outdoor, with 25 years of handball, a sports-study program, and several years playing at the National level, grinding on the courts. It was later in life (at 30) with the arrival of my first child that I took up trail running, driven by a desire to push my limits, explore, and experience wide-open spaces. Now, with about fifteen years of practice and some great races behind me, I still hope to live the outdoor adventures that excite me.
