Jules Claudel

- Your age: 21 years old (06/13/2002)

- Your club: I am a member of the Versailles Triathlon club.

- Your sporting background: I have a somewhat atypical background but I have always practiced endurance sports, in fact I started with cross-country skiing and swimming at the age of 6, passing through handball and biathlon. I turned to triathlon a few years ago! I owe this passion for sport to my parents and my grandfather!
I obviously continue to practice Nordic skiing, because it is my job. I am a Nordic ski instructor in La Clusaz in Haute Savoie.

- Your favorite playground: I have two in particular: first of all, the Vosges mountains because that's where I come from and that's where I have all my memories of my first competitions! And then Haute Savoie around Lake Annecy, the playground is ideal and the landscapes are crazy!

- Your best memory: It's at the Gérardmer triathlon over the Olympic distance, there's really an atmosphere equal to the Tour de France. It's a difficult triathlon but so beautiful! On the legendary climb of La Rayée, you can't hear yourself breathe because there are so many people. You're pushed on by the public and you just want to go fast and push harder and harder! I invite you to watch the many reports to understand!

- Your ambitions: In the long term, it would be to perform on S and M distances and to gradually get into long-distance triathlon! I have always loved long efforts and to be honest, the amateur world championships in age categories under the "IRONMAN" label have been a dream of mine for a long time! I'm also keen to discover the Grand Prix, where I hope to gain experience and improve my level.

"Triathlon is a demanding sport that combines three sports (swimming, cycling, running) and our body is our main tool for work and performance, it's our engine! We must therefore take care of it and that obviously involves nutrition. Authentic Nutrition products are just perfect for that, they are digestible, good, developed by a dietician nutritionist and above all they are local and French!

For me, knowing what my body is ingesting is essential and after tasting Authentic Nutrition products, it was obvious and I am delighted to collaborate with this brand and its team!"
