IRONMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2025 — run

I qualified for the worlds at Ironman Ottawa just about 1.5 months ago; I wasn‘t concerned about the swim and the bike, but the run was a big unknown; how do you even recover, keep fitness, and taper within six weeks? After that hefty bike ride my legs didn‘t feel to great. Bit the first 10k went pretty smoothly with a pace well below 5min. At 18k my stomach had enough and started cramping, which resulted in plenty of walking breaks. At 32k I suddenly started feeling much better and picked up the pace again. Overall finish time: 12h06m. Definitely my hardest Ironman, but certainly not my slowest! Number 7 is in the books and I am now officially an Ironman World Championship Finisher 🤩🤩🤩
