From a young age, my parents enrolled me in swimming lessons, which I didn't particularly enjoy. Some days, I needed a bit of encouragement from both of them to attend training sessions. During those early days, I went through the motions without a clear goal in mind. However, as time passed, my perspective on swimming began to change, and I developed a genuine, burning passion for the sport. I realized my desire to pursue it professionally, but by that point, I felt I might have missed my chance due to my age and other commitments.

However, my discovery of the sport of triathlon provided me with a second opportunity to pursue my dream. I'm no longer testing the waters and wasting time. This time around, I'm all in. While I may not be the most naturally gifted athlete out there, I'm willing to work as hard as it takes to reach my goals.

I'm Daniel, and I am a Vitamode Athlete.
