Hi guys, Thank you everyone for the advice and ideas to take on this challange. I will try my best and think I will start with friends and family, or convincing the wife is probably the most challenging haha. I will also document my journey from now on on the spin bike and weight training, jogging is obviously the cheapest part of it all. Thank you but I will still look mat the comments coming in and who knows, maybe the right person sees my post.

🚴‍♀️ Hi everyone! I need your help and support 🧡 I’m super excited (and a little scared 😅) to share that I’ve officially started training for my very first 70.3 Ironman happening on 16 November 2025! This year has been full of new challenges for me — from starting my own business to now taking on one of the toughest endurance events out there. I’ve decided to push myself in every possible way this year… physically, mentally, and personally. Here’s the thing — I’m starting completely from scratch. I have no gear, no setup, and I’m trying to figure it all out as I go. But I believe in starting where you are and making it work with heart and hustle. So I’m reaching out to this awesome community to ask: 👉 If anyone knows of a brand, shop, or individual who might be willing to sponsor or support me in any way — whether it’s gear, training help, or even advice — I’d love to connect. 👉 I’ll be documenting the full journey (ups, downs, everything!) and I’m totally open to collabs or any way I can give back in return. Whether it’s tri gear, cycling kit, nutrition support, training help or just a few words of encouragement — it all means the world to me right now. Thanks so much for reading this. If you know anyone I should speak to, please drop me a message or tag them here 🙏 Let’s do hard things and inspire others along the way 💪 Walter
