Michelle Vesterby:
“I worked very hard to win KMD IRONMAN Denmark and I led the race from start to finish. I felt I had it under control (although you're never 100% sure before crossing the finish line), which meant I could enjoy the amazing atmosphere around me all day.”

“I'm very happy and honored to share the podium with two strong girls, but most importantly, I want to make a BIG shout out to all the volunteers, the organization, the spectators, my sponsors, friends and family. Without you nothing would be as successful - Triathlon is NOT a one man show.”
