Some fun questions with one of my cool fellow team members Lisa Nordén!! Doesn’t she look lean and mean!!

Why did you get into triathlon?

I took it up as a challenge to test my bike fitness after a holiday cycling trip to Italy…(19 days in the saddle, 5 countries and lots and lots of rain).

Then a year and a half later I did another one which lead to some more tri specific training as a preparation for it. More exactly… I would time trial the 20km’s from my home to our summer house at the beach… About the same time my horse got injured and I was looking for something to do with my time. Bingo!
Eventually the horse got swoped completely for a steelframe with two wheels…

What would be your ideal day look like?

I would wake up and have a massive cup of strong black coffee. Then I would get into my cycling gear on and head out for a longish ride, good company essential!

The ride would finish at a local café with breakfast, papers and more coffee. Home for a lay down then a lazy afternoon with maybe a trip to the beach or a wee shopping tour.
mmmm

What’s your favorite film and why?

Don’t really have any all time high movie… I mostly watch films when I’m flying, which means I’d fall asleep half way trough the movie and then get them mixed up with each other… But I do love a feel good movie like Love actually or a crier like the Notebook… Am I being a girl or what here?!
