Jelle Geens
I am Jelle Geens, and I participate in triathlon. I am the first and still the only Belgian to ever win a World Triathlon Championship Series. Of the three disciplines, my favorite is running, especially long-distance tempo runs.
My discipline
Triathlon --> Triatlon Vlaanderen
Number of hours’ training per week
30 h
"In it to win it"
My favourite Etixx products
I use the Double Carb Energy Gel; it has a delicious taste and contains a high amount of carbs, which is beneficial for long training sessions.
My greatest sporting achievements
- Double winner of the World Triathlon Championship Series
- Podium finisher at the European Championships
- And two-time 4th place finisher at the World Championship
