RENCONTRE

TrimaX-magazine : Nice in
July... Aren’t you afraid of
the heat ?

Frederik Van Lierde : Not really,
in June, it’s as hot, isn’t it? Last
year it was a bit different, less
hot, at the beginning of June.
But I believe that I have already
done very hot editions in Nice ;-)

TrimaX-magazine : What is
your program until Kona ?

Frederik Van Lierde : IM Afrique
du Sud TrimaX-magazine : Your coach Luc Van
IM 70.3 Aix Lierde has created a new team turned
IM 70.3 Barcelona towards the future with many young
Olympic Distance in Sables d’Olonne
IM Nice athletes. Have you had the chance to share
IM 70.3 Vichy moments with them and to give them advice
IM Hawaii from your experience ?

Frederik Van Lierde : Not yet but in the future it
will be done ;-) I know the 4 athletes very well.

TrimaX-magazine : You have two sons who
are present for your important races to
support you... Do they practice triathlon
and want to follow your career?

Frederik Van Lierde : No, they play football. You
know, for me the most important is that they do
sport and they have fun! They are 9 and 12 years
old, sometimes they want to copy me around the
house, but not more than that. Funny though to
see them do bike-run-bike-run transitions... :-)

TrimaX-magazine : New year wishes are
over now but what can we wish you for 2017

Frederik Van Lierde : A year free of injuries and
hard times, with a good health for me and my
family. It would already be good and better than
2016 ;-)
