Only after participating in ultra trail run challenges and IronMan 70.3 triathlon races, I got to experience the huge differences between a ‘challenge’ and a ‘race’. In this article I’m going to share my experiences with you and also talk about the commonalities both event types share.

In part 2 of the series “A day in my life” I’m going to run you through a typical day on the weekend and share my routine with you.

People are always bewildered when they hear an excerpt of my day. They struggle to grasp it and I struggle to understand what’s so surprising. So in this article I’m going to share my typical routine on a weekday.

It’s time for some Rock’n’Roll! Come with me on a tour through the last part of the IronMan 70.3 in Weymouth: The Run.

IronMan 70.3: I survived the swim. So now the enjoyment can begin. Let me walk you through part 2 of the race: The 90 km hilly bike ride.

The IronMan 70.3 in Weymouth was an incredible and life changing experience. Let me walk you through my Race Day starting with the swim. Not just any swim but THE swim of my life.

I DID IT! I seriously finished the IronMan 70.3 last weekend and I’m still processing what happened. So let’s start with the mantras that helped me lining up at the start of this race.
