“When I first embarked on this Ironman adventure under your guidance, my primary goal was to complete the Ironman without enduring excessive suffering. However, your mentorship and expertise have far exceeded my expectations. Through your guidance and relentless support, I not only achieved my initial goal but surpassed it by qualifying for the World Championship and earning an “all-world” distinction—a dream I hadn’t dared to imagine.” – Robert
