Our founder, Gerhard de Bruin, grew up in the Free State region and knows the territory's best routes to train. His triathlon career began in 2000 and ever since then – he has been competing against some of the best triathletes in the world. Gerhard's supportive and optimistic nature means he will get the very best out of you during your time with us.

Here at DBT – you will have the best time of your life on a bicycle, in a pair of trainers, and a wetsuit. Guaranteed.

Science plays a vital role in triathlon coaching, so we regularly engross ourselves in the newest research available in an effort to supply the most powerful tools to our competitive world of triathlon and to our camp attendees. Coach de Bruin acknowledges the importance of giving answers to questions that happen in the world of training, competing, nutrition, and recovery.
