Greetings from Switzerland! We arrived this morning to take part in the here traditional race Gigathlon, it consists of swim, inline skating, road bike, mountain bike and run. I am taking part in the “Team of 5” which means every member has his/her own discipline. You have the discipline both Saturday and Sunday in more or less half ironman distance smile emoticon But there are also singles who do all the 5 disciplines on both days!!! And couples where there are 2 people, 1 has to be female and has to do at least 2 disciplines … uffff, what an achievement!
In Prague just before leaving on Thursday evening … we arrived to Aarau on Friday morning.
Our team number is 1698 and you can follow us through the live tracking website.
(The Czech teams are: 1698, 1699, 1700 & 747 in couples)
We are here not only to compete, but also to promote the Gigathlon in Czech Republic, that will be held in September 2016 at Lipno Lake.
Selfie at the finish line – this is where I will be finishing the last leg of the race on Sunday!

Start of the “prologue” race on Friday – introduction and honours to the single competitors who go through all the 5 disciplines on Saturday and Sunday!
We had some trouble getting our gluten free meal options, so we had to take selfie with our meals when we finally got them. No carbs before racing would be really bad and all the other options were pasta 🙁

Life saver idea – they would borrow you external battery to charge your phone!
