ING Forerunners: From desk job to Olympic performance
Thirty ING colleagues from the Netherlands and Belgium will push themselves to their sporting limits to compete in the Ocean Lava Triathlon in Lanzarote. The ‘Forerunners’ will cover the Olympic distance: 1.5 km of swimming, 42 km of cycling and 10 km of running.
And no, they’re not all necessarily top athletes. Although some of them have done triathlons before, others are complete novices. But what they do have in common is their unwavering motivation and their desire to lead an active and healthy lifestyle – because life’s simply better when you’re fit.
Sarah, Hilde and Jan provide insights into why they signed up for the triathlon and their preparations for it – from worn-out running shoes to training during the lockdown and to a cycling addiction.
