Julie Derron
Sprint Triathlon European Champion
I'm a big fan of the Polar Vantage V watch. It has all the tools I need in training and even if it has an incredible number of functions, it is still light and easy to use. Besides that it can stand any weather. It is also nice to see how the Training Load Pro™ and the tolerance score change when you do a lot of training. I like the Polar Flow App to get more detailed information about the training. After running, for example, I like to look at my lap times and lap pace.
About
I have been passionate about triathlon since I was little. Together with my sisters Nina and Michelle, we form the Derron Sisters team. We train mostly together and understand each other very well also outside the training. For me, the relationship with my sisters is extremely important and I know I can always count on their support.
