It wasn't long before I signed up for my first ultra trail running competition in High Tatras, then the first half-marathon, and finally my first marathon. I had good results which kept me motivated.
After all the miles that I ran between taking care of my two daughters and other duties, something amazing happened - I finally felt I was ready to fulfil my dream of running an ultra trail marathon (50+ km). I was ready!
My first competition was an ultra trail race in Hungary that was 90km long. Then more races in Slovakia followed: another 50km and 100 km. Suddenly I had enough points from the races to sign up and attend the ultimate ultra trail marathon, the UTMB® race in Chamonix.
My two daughters, Karolínka and Julianka are big girls now and my best adventure buddies.
When I go running, they grab their bikes and go with me. We eat ice cream in Smokovec or pick delicious berries along the way. When I go climbing, they join me or just play around at the bottom of the rock cliff. In winter, we all go skiing together and without exaggerating, they soon will be faster than me. In those precious moments, you couldn't find a prouder mother than myself.
