Hey there – I’m Ahmet!

Welcome to my world of sweat, setbacks, comebacks, and finish lines. I’m a multi-sport athlete with a deep love for triathlons, swimming, running, and tackling the wild world of obstacle courses.

My story in sport kicked off at age 7, diving into the pool for competitive swimming. Since then, it’s been a winding road—from Muay Thai rings to Ironman races and Spartan courses. Each chapter brought its own lessons, pain, joy, and a ton of personal growth.

During a year abroad in Holland as an Erasmus student, I took a break from training. Life happened—I learned, I grew... and yes, I gained some weight. That pause sparked something. Fueled by a mix of regret and drive, I returned to Muay Thai, pushing hard until 2017.

2014 was the turning point. I signed up for what I thought would be a “one-and-done” Ironman race—and ended up falling in love with the sport. Since then, I’ve raced everything from sprints to full Ironmans, each event pushing me further and shaping who I am as an athlete.

Life threw me a curveball with a shoulder injury, which forced me to rethink my racing plans. But I adapted. With just 2.5 months of training, I crossed the finish lines at Ironman Turkey and Bahrain 70.3 in 2019. Not perfect, but powerful.

In 2023, I faced my first Spartan Beast Race in Zagreb—and it was a total game-changer. That experience reignited my passion for pool swimming and obstacle course racing. A new direction, same hunger.

This space is where I’ll share the real stuff: race recaps, training highs and lows, and everything in between. It’s a journey filled with grit, growth, and a whole lot of sweat—and I’m stoked to have you along for the ride.

Whether you're an athlete, a dreamer, or just here for the stories—welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Catch you on the course, Ahmet
