Did you watch Will and Kate’s royal wedding last April? Even I was admirative in front of Pippa Middleton’s perfect dress and figure. While I was in France a couple of weeks ago, I was reading a French gossip magazine called Public. There was a picture and an article about Pippa – the new fashion icon - completing the Blenheim triathlon. In the photo, she looks absolutely stunning: not a single drop of sweat, perfect hair, £270 designer sunglasses (according to the article), a huge smile and no signs of suffering or tiredness at all. The magazine even said that she won a medal…So I was really impressed and intrigued: How can she finish a triathlon looking so fresh? I certainly do not look as good as her when I cross the finish line of a tri! Since I had time to waste, I did investigate further on this very critical topic and found out that she only ran a 5K (she was doing a relay with 2 of her pals) and did not do the cycling or the swimming. She did not win the race or anything as implied by the magazine…she got a medal because EVERYBODY gets a medal when crossing the finish line so nothing extraordinary here. I know it is quite sad but truth had to be told! No, Pippa Middleton is not a wonder woman. And yes, it is normal not to look like a super model after a triathlon.
