Hej, I'm Maëlys.

Coach, French expat, professional optimist. I came to Copenhagen for one year — that was a while ago — and accidentally built the friendliest triathlon crew in town.

My story

From the Atlantic
to the harbour baths.

I grew up in Brittany, swimming in cold Atlantic water that — it turns out — is excellent Ironman preparation. Sport was never about medals; it was the thing that made a day feel good.

Copenhagen happened almost by accident, and I never left. I started training alone, missed the crew I'd had back home, and decided to build it myself: people first, watts second.

In August 2026 I'm racing my first full Ironman. The crew is coming to cheer (and heckle). That's the whole point — serious about the sport, never about ourselves.

A few true things

What you're signing up for.

🤩

Always up for it

New route, sunrise swim, a last-minute race entry? Yes. Obviously yes. Let's go.

🥐

Snacks are sacred

I'll out-train you and then thoroughly out-eat you. Pastries are a recovery strategy.

🌊

Cold-water person

Harbour baths, all year. It's character-building. Mostly it's just very, very cold.

Come train with me.

Your first week is on the house. Bring a friend — or come make a few new ones.
