Two white shirts and one DNF. I’m crewing for John, Paul and Stuart this year but will be returning in 2024 !!! Disappointments are all fuel to the fire !!! 😎🔥
Rozumiem Cie! Jeśli skupiasz się na wyniku, albo masz w głowie inne niepotrzebne myśli typu: co ze mnie za trener jeśli... To tracisz radość z bycia w pięknym miejscu, robiąc coś co kochasz, z ludźmi którzy są podobni do Ciebie i tym samym bliscy. Kiedyś biegłem maraton w Rzymie, którego trasa prowadziła przez najpiękniejsze zabytki tego miasta, ale przez to, że w mojej głowie był tylko wynik i międzyczasy, to nic z tego nie zobaczyłem, nie rozglądałem się, nie cieszyłem się tym, że mogę biec po najpewniejszych ulicach Świata. Byłem zły, że biegnę po kostce brukowej, albo, że ktoś zabiegł mi drogę i straciłem 1,23 sekundy :)) bez sensu. Teraz już mam inaczej. Staram się czerpać radość z biegania i startów w super eventach. Dziś biegałem bez zegarka :))
Did the Celtman solo Point Five last year and was on the startlist for the full Celtman this year, SP5 was a lovely day playing outside but not easy. due to sickness I won't be there this year but hope to complete it in the upcoming years. Enjoy the race!
love seeing your dog up there with you,I got the blue t-shirt in 2021 just did enough training to get me through it after a bad swim like yourself could not get aero on the bike because neck and shoulder pain and the wind was horrendous ran very well to the foot of the mountain but half way up got a bit dizzy,lack of fuel fought it off and finished pretty strong my support runner helped me through the bad points maybe sign up again ,unfinished business, when I was on the ridge I couldnt see a thing the weather was that bad so I have to return to see those spectacular views 🌞
enjoyed this and very similar to my experience - getting the blue t shirt and then having to try to redo the brutal Double afterwards, but crossing the line and just feeling nothing :)
Thank you for this. I am still pretty new to triathlon, but I have goals set out for myself and one of them is to participate in the Celtman. Something I have told myself from the very beginning is that I am out to run MY race and no one else. I set myself a goal, I do my best to achieve that goal. If I achieve it, GREAT! If not, then I have stuff to work on. All the while just taking each mile as it comes and really just try to enjoy everything that I am doing. It gives me hope that because I have started with this mindset that it will carry me not only into the longer distance Triathlons, but also in to the extreme Triathlons. Thanks again for you insight and keep on pushing!
Was your Celtman experience similar to mine?

thank you! It means a lot hearing it from you, Richard.
Thanks for sharing. It seems the Celtman didn't break you after all!
Thanks for watching! Well, I didn’t race for 4 years after Celtman. So yes, it did break me a bit. But I’m back now! :)
😎 Bravo !!! 👍🏻
Thank you!

That's the great mindset! Keep going ❤
Fully understand you mate! Very tough lesson to learn but... well this is the meaning of being an athlete!
Exactly!❤
Great story Leszek! 🎥💪
thank you so much!
Question: Did you do a full Xtri before Celtman?
NO, I didnt. But I did 3x regular ironmans. It helped, kind off. The xtri is a different beast 😅
@@stelmachow_ski Okay, I'll start in 2 months in the 2023 edition but I did BlackLake last September and I love the cold, let's see!
