- I DID IT! I completed my FIRST ever triathlon after 8 months of training in 11:55;08!
What a journey it has been, so much self doubt, so many struggles but also so many things I've learned about myself. Being able to trust yourself when you make yourself a promise is what I call self confidence. When I jumped in the pool the first time I thought how in the world am I going to swim 3.8km...After all I'm so happy that I accepted to struggle in the beginning, trying over and over...But eventually seeing the progess you can make in only 8 months is CRAZY! As long as you're willing to work for it and stay consistent with it you can achieve it.
Make sure to challenge yourself, do hard things, prove yourself right, you can honestly do so much more than you think you can! YOU GOT THIS
🎥: Special thanks to the boys from lumiteproductions for documenting this moment and creating such a master piece

7:25 I honestly cannot imagine the pride your dad has for you. I’m already so proud of you and I’m quite literally a stranger. My heart is so full seeing the support your family has for you.
Ahhh.. that made me so emotional. It was so amazing to follow your journey on Instagram. Seeing you reach your goal now is just indescribable and you should be so proud. I'm looking forward to everything that's yet to come.
Thanks!! Appreciate that a lot🙏 I can tell you that this is just the beginning, so much more crazy challenges on the planning already;)
Rutger, you are A FREAKING IRONMAN. Beyond proud of you!!! Not gonna lie, I did tear up watching this, especially with your dad's message. I still remember that post where you had that brick session that did not go as planned and your energy dropped a lot. It was part of the journey.
You proved yourself right, and that's something you can be so proud of. Rutger, GO ONE MORE! 🤘🏻
Heeee Demi! Damnn that you remember that, crazy! Appreciate your support during the whole journey, it has honestly helped me a lot🙏
This is SO awesome! I have been following you for quite a while on instagram so I already knew you made it, but seeing you go over the list of things to pack with your dad made me nervous for you through the screen. This is such an awesome achievement and you are such an inspiration! My motivation levels rise whenever I see your content, but this has to be the absolute peak. Thank you for that.
Eyyy Tommy!! Amazing to hear that man, yeah a lot with the Ironman sits in the details, because not being prepared is preparing to fail:)) 💪💪
Love it! The quality of this video is astonishing!!! You deserve a follow!
Nicely done man!! I just finished my first Ironman June 16th, this video resonated a ton with me. Thanks for sharing!

You have insane discipline man
As soon as you make things like training a standard there won’t be time to go in discussion with yourself which will build a great discipline 🏆

Kippenvel, niet normaal
Cried like a baby
Hele bizarre prestatie dit en dat stukje van je pa brak me echt. You did so good!!! Gefeliciteerd nog :)
Thanks Chanel:)) 🫶
1:16 regular job?
2:34 after work?
All this time I thought you weren’t working when you were training. Damn now there’s no excuse for me, eh? Getting my first VO2 max testing done on the 15th. So we’ll see how things will go for me.
Yeah at that time I had one, however now I want to pursue my dream of making more content about these challenges, so I quit the job to go all in and hopefully this TH-cam journey (which is really fulfilling) will workout hahaha
Super dik!!!
