ABOUT TEXACO LUBRICANTS
Texaco was founded in Beaumont, Texas in 1902. Back then we called ourselves The Texas Company, but that got shortened when a salesperson saw the abbreviation ‘Texaco’ in a telegram, and within a year, the name had stuck in the US.
In 1905, an operation was established in Antwerp, Belgium, under the Continental Petroleum Company name. With its ever growing and sophisticated product range, it soon became well established, and the Texaco brand was born in Europe.
2001 saw the merger of Texaco with the Chevron Corporation and the emergence of ChevronTexaco, soon to become the Texaco brand in Europe, now backed by the global strength, reach and technological expertise of Chevron, world-wide.
Today in Europe, Texaco markets a range of premium performance brands including Havoline passenger car engine oils and coolants, Delo heavy duty engine oils and coolants with a complete range of workshop products along with advanced Techron fuel system cleaners, alongside Texaco-brand fuels.
These high performance automotive products keep the wheels of industry turning all day, every day, and with a complete spectrum of industrial and power generation lubricants such as HDAX gas engine oils, GST turbine oils, and VARTECH turbine cleaning technologies, we keep the lights on as well.
I used to be a swimmer I also loved running after watching to the France on TV I also really wanted to get a road bike to get that same feeling of climbing up the mountains and I guess Tron is the only sport we can combine of those Tre
Sports I think I’ve always felt that I had a very strong end that always like could keep going that’s something I have learned from this I were a kid I guess I could always just keep going in training and I was very like energized so I guess
That’s also why like Tri on is fing quite well because it’s really demanding on your endurance take the run as an example like it’s not just about the five or 10k run but in the end it’s how well you’re running off the swim and B and that’s makes it even more endurance
Based I did my first TR on Race back in 2008 and then few months later I was contacted by St gas who wanted to start up the youth national team because back then there was no national team at all the big dream then was to prepare or
Like follow us towards the Olympics so we had like a 10year vision on the program we was starting back then of course it’s special when you are like back in 2010 targeting the Olympics game 10 years ahead and knowing that that’s the race you want to win and trying to do
Everything on the road towards that goal of course it comes a lot of pressure the closer you get to the date of the race I guess that’s some of the things I’m the most proud of in my sporting career to I actually be able to set myself a goal
That far away from the race itself 10 years ahead and uh stay stick to the plan top of that being able to put it all together when it really matters on the race day in Tokyo even on the way to Tokyo like we’ve always been very lot of
Confident in our own trading and the volume we were doing and even though it was sort of T of view on the Olympics I also knew that Arman was something I wanted to do in the back end of it and I’ve always had a lot of confidence that
I could switch quite like quickly around and almost be right different arm and like equally as good as I Was preparing for Tokyo Olympic Games I remember sitting down in RoR and I was asked like what’s the ultimate Challenge in Triathlon and I said that’s to win the
Olympics the World Series the 7.3 and the full distance Arman in one season okay I used like one extra year to win the 17.3 but I’ve managed to put the rest inside one year frame and of course that’s something I’m also very proud of that I’ve been able to to balance not
Just an Olympic distance but combining it with a Sprint distance half distance and full distance Iron Man and now maybe the biggest challenge is to go from Full distance Arman back to the Olympic distance I feel I’m on track in terms of being in the fitness and shape I need to
Be in July but again it’s about balancing here for another six one and why Paris is so unique especially like with the Paris in corner combo is that in the past there’s only been one guy who’s been able to win the Olympic gold and the Army World Championship within a
Year and I want to replicate that guy and that performers by doing it once again and yeah hopefully we’ll see by the end of 2024 that both pus and K has been Done
