Ironman UK

My first Ironman in 2009 at Ironman UK was a true trial by fire. The course was unforgiving, with relentless hills on the bike and a run that seemed to stretch on forever, testing every ounce of grit I had. I battled fatigue, cramps, and moments of doubt, but refused to let the day beat me. Crossing the finish line in 13:28:48 was more than just a time—it was proof that I could push beyond my limits. That race ignited a fire that still fuels my passion for triathlon today.
