I've applied for Ultraman. The application is in. Now the waiting — and the work — begins. This is the road, and a fundraise for something that matters.

The hardest three days in endurance sport.

Ultraman is a 515 km, three-day ultra-distance triathlon. It is not an Ironman with extra distance — it is an entirely different test of what a human body and mind can endure. There are no age-group categories, no finisher medals handed out at midnight, and no spectators lining every kilometre. Just you, the course, and three days to figure out who you are.

Most people have never heard of it. That's part of why it calls.

Endurance sport rewired my head. Now I want to use it for something bigger.

I started this journey not because I was fit, or fast, or fearless. I started because I was struggling — and someone told me that training for something big is one of the best ways to build your mental strength. I didn't believe them. Then I crossed the finish line in Goa, and I understood.

"The miles don't just build your body. They build the version of you that knows you can finish hard things."

The Ultraman is the biggest hard thing I can currently imagine. I'm doing it with a cause behind it — to raise money for a mental strength initiative, because I believe that what endurance sport gave me, it can give a lot more people who are never told they have that option.

I'm not a coach. I'm not an elite. I'm a regular person who found something that works, and wants to go as far as it will take him.


From first timer to the application for the biggest thing I've ever attempted.

2024
✓ Done

Ironman 70.3 Goa

My first triathlon ever — and the year before it, I couldn't swim 25 metres. I arrived race week with a fever and a stomach infection, spent Saturday on meds not knowing if I'd start, and crossed the finish line on an empty tank. Community got me to the start line. Stubbornness got me to the finish. Read the full report →

2025
✓ Done

Ironman Western Australia

The full distance. 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km run. The marathon at the end surprised me even though I'd read every warning. It was the hardest and best day of my life. Read the full report →
