When Fernanda Keller started in the 1980s, everything was new. His first triathlon test was also the first competition of the sport in Brazil. The lack of structure was a problem for everyone, but for a woman the challenge took another proportion.
“Being a woman, I carried a bigger load. I had to prove ten times more that I was going to do,” recalls the triathlete, who became the only person in Latin America to join the Ironman world fame hall.
