Endurance & Mountains

My most successful result to date on the middle distance triathlon race (1.9km swim, 80km 1500m+ bike, 21.1km run). Despite a car accident the day before preventing me from using my race bike, I pushed to the limit on the run course covering half marathon distance within 1h10', posting the fastest run split of the race. I finished in 4h33', crossing the line 8th overall and securing a podium spot as the 3rd fastest in the M30-34 age group, qualifying for the 2026 Challenge World Championship.

Trail running World Cup organized by XTERRA in Wales, UK, extending over 21km with 1200m elevation gain, passing by Snowdon, the highest summit in Wales. I finished 4th overall and 2nd in the M30-34 age group, earning a silver medal for the XTERRA World Cup 2025. The race was held under exceptional heatwave conditions, forcing organizers to eventually halt the event and launch rescue operation.

Speed ascent of the iconic Matterhorn via the Hörnli ridge (Swiss route, 1200m+, AD+ difficulty). While the average climbing time is 4-5 hours, I reached the summit in 2h26', marking the 3rd fastest time on this route according to Strava segment. This rapid ascent allowed me to enjoy a fantastic sunrise from the summit and avoid the crowds on the narrow passages, returning to Zermatt well before an approaching storm.

XTERRA-branded trail running race in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, covering 22km and 800m of elevation gain, passing by Mont Tendre, the highest summit of the Swiss Jura mountains. I enjoyed every kilometer, finishing 10th overall and 2nd in my age group (M30-34), qualifying for the 2025 World Championship.

My best performance on the half Ironman distance (1.9km swim, 90km bike, 21.1km run). With ideal race conditions, it was a lightning-fast course. I finished in 4h18', ranking 11th in my division and narrowly missing qualification for the Ironman World Championship.
