Ironman Copenhagen 2025 - What a race !!ย  There were so many small "challenges", which tested my mental strenght ๐Ÿ™‚ -Swim: (1h23min) Had to swim with a hole in my brand new wetsuit, which also was too small, so I couldn't lift my arms properly. During the swim, many were pushing or hitting when passing me โ€” but, why dude, you have already passed me ?!?!ย  Oh well, I survived yet another swim (PS. I hate swimming) ๐Ÿ˜‹ -Bike: (6h26min) After just 30 km of the bikeride, I hitted a pothole when still in aero position and broke off both armpads !! Clicked out and used my left foot to brake in panic, before I made a controlled crash by laying down my bike on the nearby bikelane. I almost hitted a family guy in his big cargo bike with his children. He offered to call the ambulance, but I was okay.. Well, for the rest of the 150 km, it was hurting in my left knee and ancle, so I might have twisted something. I regrouped my thoughts and tried to stay positive; at least I could still bike and did not puncture. It was not fast, but enough to make the time cut off.ย  -Run: (4h16min) T2 was new at Kgs. Nytorv and had a great atmosphere from the second you arrived. I had prepared a big painkiller pill... and a PINK suit. That was a massive hit for the spectators. No matter where I was, people were cheering extra loud.ย  Suddenly my Garmin watch went black after just one lap, so I had to run "naked" for rest of the marathon. Fortunately Copenhagen gives one of the most fantastic support and encouragement. So I didn't care about time anymore. I danced or jammed many of the places with music: Hip hop, techno, rock, pop, etc. Even did the Macarena dance. I had hitted runners high - It was the best run experience EVER !!ย  -Finishline: (12h19min40sec)ย  The red carpet always gives a special feeling - You have trained so much all year to be ready and fighting all day to get there. So I just stayed there to embrace it, after all the accidents thrown at me - Enjoying the crowd, gave a little dance; because in a few meters it is all over.... --> 12x in row at IM CPH โ€” Number 19x Ironman total; Done.ย  #ironmancopenhagen #raceday #finishline #triathlon #triathlete #ironmantri by @que.son.vu

- 1/2 Marathon Copenhagen 2026. What a fantastic day ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿฅณ - Was unsure of the legs after a month with very little training, due to pain in knee and Achilles after Ironman Copenhagen !! .. But the amazing support from club, family and friends always give me something extra on raceday. Thank you all โค๏ธ - The first groups were lucky enough to run in the sun with only some strong wind to fight.๐Ÿ’จโ›… This is the first time I have done a proper negative split. Starting out easy and holding the power back for the first 10 km (well my body didn't felt warm enough to push anyway), increase the next 10 km and push on the last 1 km. -- Best race feeling in many years !! ๐Ÿคฉ -- . Now it is time for off season, rest and heal the body ๐Ÿซฃ ... I hope ๐Ÿคž #cphhalf #halfmarathon #raceday by @que.son.vu

Ironman number 20 done - #ironmancopenhagen for the 13thย time.ย  Race report: Long read !! -Pre raceday:ย  I was supposed to have my last race at IM CPH 2025, but I had a bike crash in that race and got injured in the left knee. Silly as I am, ending on 19 Ironman was just a stupid number - 20 sounds better. So I signed up again ๐Ÿ˜‹ย  Jump to IM CPH 2026 : Long term injuries and having minor pain all the time is just not fun when training for an Ironman.ย Ever since 2020 I have had on / off pain in my left achilles, due to it having been snapped off and re-sewed on again. -Swim: 1.21.05 + T1: 12.13 Jump to race morning; I did not have butterflies, was not excited like before.ย Knew I would struggle on the swim, as I only train swim 2-3x a month in average. As I came into T1, I was super cold, shaking and freezing. Took my time to get the clothing on and tried to get warm.ย ย  -Bike: 6.09.55 + T2: 7.03 Wind was picking up. I was going nowhere with the normal watt numbers ! So I tried to push extra hard to keep a higher average speed.ย Unfortunately my bad left knee didn't like that, which made me go easy; but after approx 50 km it started to hurt more and more.. I took a painkiller and rolling it home carefully (Knee still hurting today writing this). -Run: 4.35.09 Finally I was in my favorite element; Family, friends and other supporters with great energy.ย Especially /tri club denmark was fantastic; Was having a blast, dancing wherever a speaker was playing a good song ! -until the painkiller didn't work anymore. From approx km 25 the pain in the left knee and later left achilles started hurting.ย So without any more painkillers, the pain just got more and more intense. The running style became humping, limping, whatever made a step forward. In the end it was all survival mode ! -Finishline: 12.25.23ย  It felt like forever getting to the red carpet. Seeing all my friends, family and teammates made me cry.ย Told the speaker, it was the last time here - It wasn't supposed to end like this. It wasn't supposed to end like this ! Tried to brush the tears away, but they kept coming out.ย  I kissed the red carpet goodbye, did one last dance and hump over the finishline.. by @que.son.vu

Swim "technique" : Before and after feedback from coach Dan ๐ŸŠ Longer glide, lower cadence / stroke count = more speed ?!? ๐Ÿซฃ Still no control of what the left hand do (it has it's own life), my rotation and head position... But hey, lots of time to tweek this with under 3 weeks until race day ๐Ÿคช Thanks for pushing me to swim today buddy : @martinjohansentri - Or else I would only had swam 2x this month..3x a month sounds better ๐Ÿ˜‚ PS: Learning a new skill as an adult after the age of 40 is just...so hard !! ๐Ÿ˜‚ --- taken in Havnebadet Fisketorvet by @que.son.vu

70.3 Elsinore - Short version: Hot day with cramps and survival mode all day. Long version race report: - Prerace: Started by making a hole in my brand new Wetsuit, when putting it on (History repeats its self) - Great. Unnecessary stress before start ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ ..... - Swim: 42.11 ๐ŸŠ Started with an okay flow..but then some minutes in, my right shin started to cramp when kicking with right foot ?!? Too much swimming with pull buoy and weak foot strength ?? Had to breastswim for orientation and try to release the tension. ..... - T1: 10.17 Right foot was now sleeping. Tried to massage some blood down the leg before continuing. ..... - Bike: 2.48.09 ๐Ÿšด My Watt pedals suddenly didnt work; why today ?!? Had to go by good old feeling and breathing technique. Maybe I was pushing too hard in the beginning in the strong headwind, because right quad started to cramp and right foot started to go numb. Had to lower the speed... but in the end had to stop completely at 2nd aid station and massage some blood down the leg... Continued at much lower speed..but still had to stop completely at 3rd aid station and massage again. Maybe not enough hydration ?!?! ..... - T2: 4.14 Sit down, massage the leg and tried to get some blood flow. It started to help a bit. Shoes on, let's GO !! ..... - Run: 1.40.15 ๐Ÿƒ First 7 km was painful, so had to take a painkiller. At every aid station I splashed water in the head/neck/back + drank energydrink/cola + gel. Suddenly the pill started to work and I felt energized. So after km 10 I could suddenly run normal.. and then; FAST !! FINALLY SOME SUCCCES ๐Ÿ”ฅ So with increased speed, it ended up with a negative split and runners high โ˜บ๏ธ Spend approx 2 minutes at the red carpet preparing for a finishline move. Wanted to end the race with a happy feeling by dancing ๐Ÿฅณ .... Total time: 5.25.00 Oh well; One of those days. That's life sometime. Ups and downs.... Luckily there were fantastic support out there, to make us keep our fighting spirit high. Thank you so much each and everyone of you โค๏ธ PS. @triclubdenmark won the tri club award, so thank you all for making this happen ๐Ÿฅฐ #triathlon #triathlete #swimbikerun #703elsinore #ironmantri taken in Elsinore, Kronborg Castle by @que.son.vu

#Cphmarathon : WHAT A BLAST ! ..and with a NEW PR ! ๐Ÿ† Race report - long text ๐Ÿ˜‰ This season started later then normal due to my good old friend achilles injury (it snapped some years ago and had to be sewed back on - Never was the same again - Pain comes and go)...and Hyrox: a new challenge ๐Ÿ’ช From January I started slowly running again, but focus was on strength workout and plyometric training. Running was secondary, so used biking as alternative for vo2max, threshold and aerobic training. Hyrox was main focus from jan-mar. So fun to try ๐Ÿ’ฅ But in March / April the achilles pain was back again - So 6 weeks before the marathon; not so much running and also had a trip to Mexico. Focus was on recovery. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Had 3 runs the last 10 days with race pace intervals, which felt "easy" and the pain was manageable... but then the heels started hurting 5 days before. WTF ?!? ๐Ÿง Race day: Mindset was having fun and run by feeling. Sunday morning meeting with my team mates from my triathlon club: @triclubdenmark - Many were also running and they gave me so much great energy before the start โค๏ธ Start line: Started waaaay to fast in pace due to my excitement. Classic mistake ๐Ÿซฃ Tried to find an alternative way to place my foot when running with less pain and found a solution. During race: The adapted "technique" later gave my hip pain from around km 10, so pace dropped after that. Painkillers was the backup from km 20, but they only started working properly from km 40. ๐Ÿซช Finishline: I tried to run a little bit faster but still even pace as much as possible to beat my old time....and despite the pain, I managed to fight the urge to walk during the whole race..and I won ! A new PR ๐Ÿ”ฅ Thank you all for the support โค๏ธ Very happy. Now some recovery, before training for the 70.3 Elsinore in June. PS. I do not recommend to run with an injury, although it turned out alright....this time. #marathon #raceday #run #running taken in Copenhagen Marathon by @que.son.vu

#Hyrox double debut w. my buddy๐Ÿ’ฅ Music pumping and people everywhere โœจ๐ŸŽŠ All stations were full gas on!! ๐Ÿ”ฅ We got a penalty on the sled pull due to rookie mistakes by stepping on the line 3x times..and I fell ๐Ÿซฃ I had a brainfart and did 1 extra loop on the Farmers carry, so we did 300m !! So stupid ๐Ÿ˜† Time: 1.23:25 .. but overall such a fun race and perfect for winter training ๐Ÿฅณ by @que.son.vu
