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.

"Train like you’ve never won. Race like you’ve never lost".

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.

Meghan Bazire

Triathlon

I am a 26-year-old physiotherapist, and in 2024, I have set the ambition to become a professional triathlete. Although I am aware of the head start my competitors have, I know exactly what I want and am fully committed to achieving my goals.

Maria Capdevila

Gravel Cycling

I believe in consistancy in your work, and that's what rules myself as a person. Doing a little every day and not giving up seems very simple but sometimes holding onto that is already a lot, specially when things aren't looking well. However, I believe in sport as a passion, and visualize cycling as something that has to bring you joy regardless of the results. That's the key to keep pushing.
