XE: Name, Surname, country, occupation, Family status.
My name is Miriam Gerber from Switzerland. I am a physiotherapist and I am in a relationship.
XE: When, where and why did you started XTERRA?
My first race was in 2015 at XTERRA Malta. It was great experience to swim with all the athletes in the open water! I started XTERRA as I was inspired by the “Live More” spirit. It was really exciting to go abroad, visit new countries and race.

XE: What is your best and worst memory from this XTERRA season ?
The best memory are all the amazing and happy people I met in races. We share some great moments together that last forever. The worst memory was the swim part at XTERRA in Lake Garda.
