First triathlon. One down.

So I took a while to write this, but I finally got around to it.

Earlier this year I started swimming on and off, but a few months ago I decided to fully commit. Somewhere along the way, the delusion of completing an Ironman slowly crept into my brain. 🥹 They do say go big or go home, right?

Coming from a cycling background and finally starting to enjoy running, I figured, why not add swimming to the mix?

Then reality hit. 🤣

Swimming is an incredibly technical sport. You can get away with average technique in running and cycling, but swimming doesn’t let you hide, especially when you’re a certified sinker. 🥹🪨

After months of training, I finally lined up for my first triathlon with 868 Triathlon.

Before the start, I kept repeating one thing:

“Once I get out of the water, I’ll be fine.”

The horn sounded, and every swim cue I’d learned disappeared. Eyes down. Exhale. High elbow. Kick. My brain was a blender. 🫠

Those 750 metres felt endless. I stopped more times than I’d like to admit, but every time I reminded myself:

“Once I get out of the water, I’ll be fine.”

Eventually, I made it out… and I’ve never thanked the Lord so fast. 😅

Then the real race began.

I got through T1, downed a gel, clipped into my Stradalli TT bike, which I’d picked up just two days earlier 🥲, and started chasing people down. One rider after another, I worked my way through the field.

Then came T2..

Apparently watching too many Ironman videos convinced me I could pull off a flying dismount.

Turns out… I couldn’t. 🤣

A couple bruised knees, a bruised ego, and straight into the 5K.

For my first triathlon, it wasn’t about chasing a time. It was about proving to myself that I could do it.

One finish line crossed.

Many lessons learned.

The Ironman dream is still alive… and this is only the beginning. 🏊🚴🏃 taken in Chaguaramas,Trinidad&Tobago by @dwain.morin

EvoFit Road Warriors..Built different. 💯

This wasn’t just a race - it was discipline, grit, and a team that refuses to fold. The Mamba mindset is simple: show up, push harder, and leave nothing behind.

Every stride, every breath, every moment… earned.

We don’t wait for motivation - we create it.
