Triathlon - I am passionate about sports. Since I was little I admired professional athletes because I grew up in a family passionate about sports. When I started practicing triathlon, a sport that brought together three passions, I dreamed of being what I am now, and being able to participate in some Olympic Games. I feel fortunate to be part of the Etixx team, but above all, to maintain it over time and that they continue to trust me and my work. It is a luxury to work with a brand like this, which makes you feel valued and loved.
My discipline
Triathlon -> Universidad De Alicante (UA)
Hours of training per week
30 hours
"Bad times are
the best learning."

My favourite Etixx products
The Etixx product that I use the most on a daily basis is undoubtedly the Recovery Shake, which helps me regain fatigue after each workout. Depending on how the training was and what I need to recover, I take the High Protein shake, which gives me a recovery bonus.
During exercise, every day in each of the swimming or cycling training sessions I do, I take Isotonic, which helps me hydrate myself and replace the electrolytes lost during exercise.
In competition, undoubtedly the Isotonic Energy Gel and Nutritional Energy Gel, depending on how hard it is in terms of the weather. If we expect a race with a lot of heat, I resort to Isotonic Energy Gel, which helps me hydrate myself and recover glucose levels faster.
My greatest sporting achievements
As the triathlon is not measured by time, I can only highlight my participation in the 10km route of Laredo, with a time of 29'04 ''. I have participated in some medium distance triathlon, such as the Zarautz triathlon and the 70.3 in Cascais, where I achieved a victory.

Lopen - Ik ben zelf vooral iemand die niet graag opgeeft en alles positief bekijkt. Buiten zelf recreatief (60-100km/week) te lopen, ben ik dus ook trainer van Charlotte Van Hese. Het doel is om van haar een echte topper te maken zonder ze het plezier van het lopen verliest. De Etixx producten zijn een fantastische aanwinst voor m'n (inmiddels wel veel minder) blessuregevoelig lichaam. Ik ben erg trots om tot dit topteam te mogen horen!

Ambassador sinds 2020
Lopen - Sporten was niet echt mijn favoriete bezigheid, tot mijn 5e zoontje kanker kreeg en hardlopen mij letterlijk en figuurlijk op de been hield. Van 0 naar 5 km tot uiteindelijk hele marathons (stiekem mijn favoriete afstand). Met doorzettingsvermogen een goed schema en Etixx is dit zeker mogelijk! Door de ondersteuning van Etixx kan ik deze doelen halen en krijgt mijn lijf de juiste voedingsstoffen op het juiste moment.
