Subject: New to tri - coming from ultra trail running Hi!
Nice to meet y'all. My name is Brigitte and I am from the Netherlands.
After almost 10 years of running (progressing from 5k road to100k on the trails ) I decided I wanted a new challenge.
So... inspired by a friend of mine I choose to become a triathlete :- ).
I am new to running & swimming. For now swimming is my biggest priority. Going from breaststroke to frontcrawl is a challenge. :- ). Also swimming in open water comfortably is not something that comes naturally to me.
But hey! I wanted a challenge, didn't I? :- )
I started training about 2,5 months ago (april 2018 ) and finished my first 2 1/4 triathlons in one weekend in June. I absolutely loved it! I prepared for this race with a free training plan from this site and it worked perfectly.
My goal is doing a full IM in July (Klagenfurt, Austria ) or August (Maastricht, The Netherlands ) 2019. I am looking forward to using Beginner Triathlete again for a custom-made plan from 1/4 to half to full!
Have fun training & racing
Kind regards
