Spartan World Championships 🇭🇷 3rd place 🥉

What a battle from start to finish! Every second mattered, and the fight was on until the very last meter.

Unfortunately, I missed the spear throw, and with 30 burpees on a 6.5 km course, fighting for the win was pretty much out of reach in such a competitive field. Making up that much time against these guys is almost impossible.

But the fight for 3rd place was still on, and every second counted. In the end, I managed to secure the podium, finishing around 45 seconds behind the winner., which makes me really proud 💪🔥

I’m happy with the result, but at the same time, a little disappointed. The goal was to win and defend my world title. But that’s a sport. Sometimes luck is on your side, and sometimes it isn’t. Unfortunately, this time, I was the guy who missed the spear. 🎯🙈

But that’s racing and I move on to the next challenge! The Spartan Trifecta Weekend in Sparta 🇬🇷 in just 3 weeks. Three races, around 45 km in total. 🔥 Let’s see what I can do there. 🦍

Huge thanks to everyone who cheered me on! 🤩 You are my fuel to push beyond my limits! 🦍 THANK YOU ♥️

And huge congrats to the new Sprint World Champion @frank_oosterom_ocr 💪

🥈Spartan Sprint World Championships, Hvar 🇭🇷 

The comeback was surreal! I was in 2nd place after Nicole failed the slackline, only for me to fall off the Z Wall and have to do a technical trail bucket carry penalty loop! After finishing the penalty, I lost so many potions. I was in now in 8th, moving up to 6th after the hoist and sandbag carry. I overtook another athlete on the descent from the castle and then moved into 3rd place on the last bucket carry, overtaking Henriette and Sara and entering the spear throw alongside Nicole, battling for 2nd. I hit the spear, and then all I could hear was Ash screaming for me to swim like hell and try to catch Zuzana! (Last video 🥹❤️ I so appreciated having him here.)

Grateful for the battle with incredible ladies and to finish on the podium in a very competitive championship.

Thank you @spartanrace @spartanracecroatia for a beautiful race in the most iconic city.

Sur le papier, loin d'être ma course favorite avec les 3 sections de natation! mais c'est un championnat du monde, il faut donc être présent pour représenter son pays 🇫🇷
Il a fallu se battre, s'accrocher, ne rien lâcher et à la fin sa paie toujours 🥈⚡

Félicitations @frank_oosterom_ocr pour le titre 🙌🏻 et aussi tout les gros poissons du jour pour cette bataille ⚔️

7th place at the Spartan Race WC Sprint. While it’s one of my worst placements in quite a while and not what I was hoping for, I’ve got to say Havr is still one of my all time favorite races. ☀️ You better believe I will keep coming back no matter how long @thomasblancadventures keeps making those carries. 😬 I couldn’t help but smile even while failing the slack line, spear throw, AND the rig. 🙈

The sprint WC leaves no room for error and I didn’t go into this race with an abundance of fitness to make up for those errors. I guess that’s a good thing that I have so much to improve upon. 😅 

Huge congrats to everyone, especially the podium winners! 🫶 

Thank you to @spartanraceeurope for putting on another stellar World Championship event! 

See you in Greece for the Trifecta World Championships in just a few weeks!

What a battle for the 3rd place 🔥

We both did 30 burpees and then swam 200m. One of the toughest finishes ever 💪
