I am a passionate triathlete with the SMO-Scott team. I race triathlon in the short distance and spend most of the year in Girona (Spain) to develop myself as an athlete and prepare for competitions. Besides triathlon, I am also studying Accounting-Taxation at Hogent.

My favourite Etixx products

My favorite products are the Etixx PRO LINE Energy Gel Double Carb because of the high amount of carbohydrates they contain, and the new Energy Bar Fruit Chew Red Fruits for its ease of use during exercise. They are also very tasty.
