Σύντομο Βιογραφικό:
My name is Alexander Scherz and I live in Oberwil near Basel, Switzerland. I am 46 years old and work as a sports psychologist. I love running, bicycling and swimming, so I am very much into marathon and triathlon. Besides sports I really enjoy playing the bass guitar in several bands in the Basel region and having a good time with my 15 year old son Momo. I started running marathons in 2008 and came to triathlon in 2010 and finally fell in love with ultra marathon running in 2012. In the meantime I completed more than 60 marathons and ultra marathons on all seven continents. Each run was unique and beautiful but my personal " highlights " were to participate in the 100 HURT and the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii and the BADWATER 135 which I finished in 2014. The reason why I even started running is the fact that I live off something in the countryside . Every time I was at a party and wanted to go home , I had to walk. To shorten the time I finally ran. This had the positive side effect that I was sober at home . My overall Fitness improved as well and so I decided to accept this practice as a hobby. My work and my background knowledge as a sports psychologist helps me certainly , in the mental component of the Ultra run. I also like to do music (others would describe it as noise) and play bass guitar in 3 bands.
