Challenging Gender Bias in Triathlon

Remettre en question les préjugés sexistes dans le triathlon

Bonjour, je m'appelle Becca, j'ai 30 ans et je suis une nordiste vivant à Londres. Je suis un coureur et un triathlète débutant. En 2018, je suis passé de la course à tout ce qui touche à la natation, au vélo, à la course, en commençant par les duathlons et les aquathlons, puis en participant à mes premiers triathlons en 2019. Je travaille maintenant vers mon premier demi-ironman. Je suis fier d'être un ambassadeur de natation Zone3 et même si je ne suis ni le plus rapide ni le meilleur, j'aime ce que je fais et la joie que m'apportent l'entraînement et la compétition.

En passant de la course au triathlon, j’ai commencé à rencontrer des préjugés liés à mon sexe. En conséquence, j'ai découvert une passion pour défendre les femmes dans le sport et contribuer à éliminer certaines des barrières à l'entrée qui en résultent, en particulier pour les femmes qui débutent dans le cyclisme, la course à pied et la natation. 

Je travaille dans le secteur de la recherche scientifique depuis l'âge de 21 ans et, au début de ma carrière, j'étais très consciente de mon âge et de mon sexe et de l'impact que cela avait sur ma confiance en moi - j'étais constamment consciente d'être la seule femme à la table. Il m'a fallu du temps pour trouver ma voix, et j'ai encore du travail à faire, mais je me suis battue dur pour me défendre, moi et d'autres femmes dans ma vie professionnelle (et je le fais toujours), donc je n'étais pas prête à m'asseoir revenir et accepter un autre plafond de verre qui pèse sur moi ou sur les femmes qui m'entourent dans nos vies sportives.

Le cyclisme a présenté les plus grands obstacles. Au début, je me sentais très dépassé par le jargon et je me sens souvent très gêné lorsque je ne comprends pas la terminologie – acheter mon premier vélo était un peu intimidant. 

En entreprenant ma première course sportive, Ride London en 2018, je me suis senti très intimidé sur la ligne de départ, ce qui n'a pas été aidé par certains commentaires sur mon choix de rouler sur un vélo hybride. Une autre compétitrice solo et moi étions gravites l'une vers l'autre dans le parc de départ et c'était un réel réconfort de savoir que quelqu'un d'autre ressentait les mêmes nerfs. 

Une autre chose que j'ai remarquée lorsque je me suis lancé dans le cyclisme était le manque de représentation féminine. Je lisais les anciens exemplaires de magazines de cyclisme de mon petit ami et je constatais un réel manque de critiques sur les équipements de sport féminins - des choses considérées comme « unisexes », par exemple les cadres de vélo. , sont toujours fabriqués en pensant aux mensurations masculines. 

Les choses subtiles et moins subtiles que j'ai rencontrées m'ont souvent fait me sentir malvenu et confus quant à mon appartenance à la communauté cycliste en tant que débutant total. Les choses changent, mais cela semble toujours être un sport très masculin et qui manque malheureusement de diversité. C’est formidable de voir autant de femmes se lancer dans le cyclisme en 2020/21 et j’espère voir de plus en plus de femmes monter sur leur vélo. 

Au départ, j'ai nagé quand j'étais enfant, mais j'ai complètement abandonné au tout début de mon adolescence, car je me sentais gênée par mon corps et les changements que subissent les jeunes femmes. J'ai ressenti le fardeau de l'image corporelle quand j'étais jeune et cela m'a complètement enlevé mon amour de la natation ; presque 15 ans se sont écoulés sans que je me lance dans la piscine. 

Même si je ne suis certainement pas la personne la plus rapide dans l'eau, cela est venu plus naturellement que n'importe quel sport que j'ai jamais pratiqué et j'ai progressé rapidement sous l'aile d'une entraîneuse de natation de mon tri club qui me soutient et m'encourage constamment. . Je me sens toujours terrifié lors des départs de triathlon style machine à laver, je n'ai souvent pas la force mentale pour faire face aux coups et aux coups de pied. Auparavant, je me plaçais vers l'arrière pour éviter les remous qui gênaient mes temps de nage. Pendant le COVID, grâce aux départs de natation échelonnés et au fait d'avoir plus d'espace dans l'eau, j'ai eu la chance de trouver mon rythme de course et j'ai fini par me classer à deux événements locaux au cours de l'été. 

En ce qui concerne la course à pied, les confinements hivernaux ont mis à rude épreuve mon entraînement en extérieur. Les journées plus courtes et les rues calmes du deuxième confinement ont vraiment eu un impact sur ma course, car j'ai souvent peur de sortir dans le noir. Lors de courses pendant la pandémie, j'ai été pourchassé, on m'a tiré les cheveux (cela s'est produit pendant la journée !) et on m'a crié dessus - tout cela vous impacte mentalement, surtout lorsque vous faites de votre mieux pour vous motiver pendant l'hiver. Je ne m'aventure plus très loin de la même boucle de 900 m que je parcours en boucle. 

Il y a donc certainement des préjugés que j'ai ressentis, particulièrement liés à mon sexe, mais j'ai toujours essayé de les remettre en question. Le changement doit venir de tous les domaines de notre communauté de triathlon. Des courses de groupe aux fournisseurs de kits, en passant par les organisateurs de courses et les diffuseurs. Je suis constamment heureux de voir de plus en plus de femmes partager la ligne de départ avec moi et de voir mes amies et mes collègues athlètes célébrer leurs succès. 

Je suis extrêmement privilégié de bénéficier de beaucoup de soutien à la maison et de la part d'amis et cela me fait toujours penser à quel point il doit être encore plus difficile de se lancer dans le cyclisme, la natation ou le triathlon sans ce soutien. Mon club de triathlon Greenwich Tritons est merveilleux. Nous avons une répartition presque égale entre les sexes et j'ai la chance d'apprendre auprès de femmes incroyables ainsi que de bénéficier du soutien de tous les autres membres de notre club. Je suis également coachée via la plateforme en ligne Girls Run the World et disposer d'espaces comme ceux-ci m'a permis de tomber amoureuse du triathlon et du cyclisme. 

J'aime écrire et j'ai lancé mon propre blog il y a quelques années . J'ai reçu beaucoup d'aide de la part d'amis et on m'a posé beaucoup de questions à mesure que je m'adonnais de plus en plus au triathlon, à la natation, au cyclisme et à la course individuelle. J'ai commencé à me concentrer sur l'écriture de blogs pour briser les barrières du jargon et la peur de l'inconnu. Ma mission est de promouvoir les femmes dans le sport, mais aussi d'encourager les nouveaux athlètes, quel que soit leur sexe, à s'impliquer en créant un espace sécurisé avec des informations faciles à digérer. Cette année, à l'occasion de la Journée internationale de la femme, j'utilise mon blog pour présenter les histoires de femmes de toute notre communauté sportive , des athlètes olympiques aux coureuses amateurs, en passant par toutes les autres. Je crois fermement que nous nous élevons en élevant les autres, et même si nous sommes des concurrents le jour de la course, nous sommes unis pour défier les stéréotypes et nous soutenir mutuellement.

Did you know ZONE3 revolutionised T1? The now iconic speed cuff was a game-changing innovation that made wetsuit removal faster and smoother. A feature that most of us take for granted these days, but didn’t exist 16 years ago! What began on our OG Aspire back in 2009, has since been adopted throughout the Zone3 range (including the NEW Aspire) and across the whole industry. 👊 📍 Quays Swim, Mychett
