20-Year-Old Triathlete & Ultrarunner
Exploring the Limits of my Mind & Body
Intro
I’m a 20-year-old multisport enthusiast exploring the limits of my mind and body.
I might not be the fastest, but I love exploring all different types of endurance sports and thrive in the versatility of the training and racing styles I do.
My approach is high-volume, mostly low-intensity, with my annual intensity coming mostly from the shorter races I do and some specific focused work.
My main intention is to build my base toward around 800–1000+ hours annually and maintain higher-quality intensity through shorter events during my racing seasons.
Why I Do This
This might get messy… many reasons.
Self-understanding & growth
It shows me more and more who I am.
Especially the long stuff — it’s a contrast to my privileged life in abundance of warmth, food, and comfort. When you’re out there, you see how temporary that all is, and what really matters.
It teaches a lot — about patience, grit, stress tolerance, embracing the dark and dirty, and just how to keep going.
Sometimes it feels like I’m searching for something — maybe purpose, or meaning, or something deeper. Maybe I’m just trying to find the man behind the curtain of my own consciousness.
Joy & passion
I genuinely love what I do.
I’ve found something I love so deeply that the passion itself is the drive.
I just enjoy myself a lot — it gives me sooo much.
Nature & simplicity
I love nature.
I love to be outdoors.
It connects me back to simplicity and presence.
Purpose & feeling alive
Training and racing give me purpose and structure.
The full spectrum of emotions — including the hard and uncomfortable ones — make me feel alive.
You only know what’s possible if you attempt what feels impossible.
Many more reasons.
I don’t always know what I’m chasing out there — sometimes it’s meaning, sometimes it’s just the fun of getting dirty XD.
Either way, I keep going, and that’s enough for me. Maybe, after all, that’s the point of it all.
Little by little, one travels far
