The A-team
Some pro-triathletes make a distinction between ‘Contributors’ and ‘sponsors’.
I can’t, because I’m not a pro-athlete. I don’t get paid, so in my case, there is a very thin line between ‘sponsors’ and ‘friends’ or between ‘sponsors’ and ‘team’.
Nevertheless, I want to extend my very special thanks to three people and companies whose experience and skill I need and literally thrive on every day of the week. The inner circle, the core team are: Philippe De Borger, my trainer who is trying very hard to make me a better swimmer/rider/runner and in the process punishes me severely on a daily basis, Sacha Becquart, who puts me back together after all that torture. Florian and Scott bikes, of course, who check in on me weekly, treating me like one of their pro-riders and by doing so, keep me humble, focused and motivated. Then there is Martin from Thomas Cook Sport who have taken part of this project to a higher level and who really boosted my creativity. And last but certainly not least there is Dave Bruylants from Concap, my inadmissible source of wisdom, knowledge and inspiration ( as well as a source of power nourishment that keeps me on my feet on days when my legs refuse to do so).
They’re my A-Team. They have been amazing so far and I’m hoping to return the favor. Whatever they outcome, when this is over, I’m going to throw such a BIG party for you guys!
The most hospitable tri-club in the world. Really.
