Founder & triathlete
Lotte
I'm Lotte, the founder of Brick to Brick. I've raced a full Ironman, an Ironman 70.3, and a range of shorter triathlons, so I know first-hand how overwhelming the sport can feel when it's meant to be fun. I started Brick to Brick to give beginners the clear, practical playbook I wish I'd had at my first race. I write from personal race experience and back up training, health, and gear guidance with reputable sources. I'm a passionate age-group triathlete rather than a certified coach or clinician, so I flag when something calls for a professional.
Race experience
- Finished a full-distance Ironman (2.4 mi swim, 112 mi bike, 26.2 mi run).
- Finished an Ironman 70.3 (half-distance).
- Raced a range of shorter sprint and Olympic-distance triathlons.
How I write
- Start from what actually helped me at my first races, not just theory.
- Cite reputable sources for consequential training, health, and nutrition claims.
- Separate research-based gear recommendations from anything I have used myself.
- Flag when a question needs a qualified coach, dietitian, or clinician.
