5 times winner of IRONMAN Switzerland, and first man under 8 hours on US soil

Geneva, Feburary 2012
This is an interview for our German speaking audience. Ronnie is talking about his communication studies, he is a bachelor in corporate communication and finished his studies last year. He says that by today he realized that he learnt a lot more form his studies than he was aware of when he was still in.
One of the most important lesson he took out of his studies is that he became well aware of the fact that there is always a sender and a receiver, and the intentions of the sender may far apart from the interpretations of the receiver. A solution to this non-solvable unpredictable difference for him is authenticity.
Especially today working on the many available social media platforms being authentic is the key to success, he says.
At the end of our conversation he explains to us why he changed his race schedule from Ironman 70.3 Singapore to Ironman 70.3 Texas. For the time being Lance Amstrong is the challenge to beat for a top pro triathlete.
