Sprint Debut to IRONMAN AG Podium in 12 Months

I joined Koa Sports in April 2025 with almost no experience beyond a single Sprint Distance triathlon.

Twelve months later I’d completed both a 70.3 and a full IRONMAN, stood on the age-group podium (Male 25 – 29) at both races, and earned a World Championship qualification.

I genuinely thought results like that would take years. With Koa it took one.

The coaching didn’t just get me to the start line of longer distances—it got me racing competitively and believing I belonged there. Every session had purpose. Every adaptation matched where I was at. And the progress kept coming.

I’m only getting started. I know I’ll keep getting better and better.
