Vom SÄUFER zum IRONMAN in 9 Monaten!

Thanks to IRONMAN Carinthia-Klagenfurt, Austria, for allowing us to film such a great video. A special thank you goes out to Ramona for giving us the opportunity to film so much. IRONMAN AUSTRIA: https://www.ironman.com/im-austria And now, of course, one of the biggest thanks goes to you guys. What would this trip have been without you... without your comments, without your messages that motivated me so much. Without you, it would have been difficult, but I made it. I am an IRONMAN!!! I really hope you like this video... we gave it our all!! All the training, the preparation, and everything else was really worth it... I'm still speechless...! You are the best - thank you for still being on this channel!! I have to say thank you again to Delight Films and everyone involved in this project. Moritz, Carsten, Aaron, Tom... what you filmed is truly world-class. It was very difficult for me to let this project go. In the end, it was the best decision ever. You made the impossible possible. Thank you for your dedication, the long nights, and the even longer days. I love you. You're amazing, and this won't be the last time we do a project. Unfortunately, I have to use this description for a few thank yous. Thanks to my family, who were so incredibly proud of me. I hope I was able to make you happy. It was a very special day for us that we will never forget. I love you more than anything! Thank you to my friends, who, like my family, supported me every second. Who drove all the way to Slovenia, organized a wetsuit at the last minute, and, above all, believed in me. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible. You are indispensable in my life! Thank you to Average Rob. Without him, I probably would never have considered the Ironman. I did the same Ironman as him. It was simply the best decision. Thank you, Rob, for changing my life. A special thank you goes to Marc Eggers! You've been by my side most of the last few months, we've supported each other, and most importantly: We've both changed our lives. That was so important to us, and I'm eternally grateful for that. You know how much you mean to me, but thank you again for this incredible support with this project...!!! Thanks to all the companies that sent me things, supported me, and are hopefully happy with the results. Thanks to ROSE Bikes, who believed in me early on, provided me with a bike, and told me, "You can do it!" Thanks to all the pros and athletes who accompanied me along the way with their valuable tips; without you, I would have definitely made some mistakes. Thank you, Jan Stratmann. Thank you, Pia Kummer. Thank you, Phillip Heintz, etc. You've truly made triathlon tangible and are doing such an amazing job! You're amazing!! Thanks to ESN, who supported me for the last 6 months and always provided me with SUPs. Thanks to Manuel from Tridot, who lent me his wetsuit at the last minute. How can someone be such a great person? Thanks to Laufsport Bunert in Dortmund, who equipped me with the best shoes!!! Thanks to Gebiomized for the perfect bike fitting!! Thanks to Pushing Limits, who gave me probably the best training plan in the world. Nick, you're such a great guy, thank you for your support and your message. Thanks to Holger, the doctor who accompanied me so well. I could go on for hours, and I've definitely forgotten someone, but please feel addressed, I really thank everyone!!! But the person I owe the most to is Stephan Gerick. I've proven to myself once again that I have the will, that I can truly achieve anything if I believe in myself. It takes preparation, but it's possible! I'm so proud of myself right now... and excited to share this video with you. I look forward to your feedback!! Love, Your Stephan
