Joanna Wiśniewska finishes Ironman Barcelona

Sunday, 7 October, 22:06, crossing the finish of my first full Ironmind… A DREAM coming true! Exhilarating 13 hours & 20 mins! Pure joy & excitement. Grinning through the entire race ? The journey from swimming my first short triathlon in 2015 in breast-stroke, learning freestyle only 2 years ago, to braving the 2-meter waves over 3,8km in the sea… (oh, yummy 2 liters of salty water ?). Your MIND is incredibly powerful in turning your dreams into reality, dictating your body the way to go. Stories your mind is telling you have all the power in the world. ?? NO EXCUSES – go chase your dreams! NOW! ?

DANKIE to my inspiring coach Annchen Clarke/ 3YO Training camps for the perfect plan (quality NOT quantity!) and for being so present despite coaching me from the other hemisphere (Stellenbosch, South Africa): I felt your presence every minute – and so much support from you after the robbery ?‍❤️‍?‍? I’m damn lucky have met you, Annchen! ❤
