Bob Dejong

My name is Bob Dejong. I work as a reporter for a Belgian TV station.

I also play a lot of sport. I’ve just begun my second triathlon season – I started last year because I’d done several marathons and I wanted a new challenge. I was hooked right from the first event, and I’ve now taken part in three: one 1/8 and two 1/4 triathlons. This year, I’m planning to do three 1/4 events, a 70.3 and a full triathlon.

Being one of the judges sounds like fun, and I’ll be interested to see whether any of the entrants are more addicted to training than I am. I train for 15 to 24 hours a week, so I like the idea of meeting fitness fanatics like myself. I also think the Eurostar Tri-City-Athlon is a great idea – I’m sure it’ll be a spectacular competition.
