Stéphanie and Bettina take Augustine to her first triathlon in Beauvais

Beauvais Triathlon, June 15, 2019 (M)

I’m not sure, but the pain in the shins that every runner has experienced once, became quite bad for me, with oedemas and pain even while standing still) I still wanted to give it a try knowing that an objective would help me train and follow a plan.
