No one is born an athlete. Some discover their talents early. I on the other hand not until my 18th. That’s because I moved to Amsterdam to study at the university. That was not where my talent lies. I picked up rowing. I fell in love with training hard. The harder I pushed the more joy I found. Training hard ánd a lot is what long-distance triathlon is all about. That’s where my talent lies!
