Da Nang holds a special place for Ciri and Dre, probably she always see Dre training at his pain cave, she got infected by this tri bug and that little bubble slowly growing in her mind. Never an athlete but that native PengChau-ee have no fear on wavy open water, she also proves that she can train for IRONMAN 70.3 from the little island. Her can-do spirit and positive mindset is the major driving force to overcome all the challenging conditions towards the finish line! Now your confidence growth and anything is possible!

Warren is our youngest IRONMAN 70.3 finisher in Sonic, he always shows his energy in training and racing. On his training towards the race, he encountered little setback at his strongest discipline, he took my advise to do treatment and Aqua jog instead of running, he demonstrates his patience and mental resilience as a young adult that enable him to perform on his race day! Impressive!

2023 IM703Vietnam by Karim

This is the race report from Karim but I think it’s more like a testimonial and his journey from the past 20 years towards the finish line in his first IRONMAN 70.3 in Vietnam! I met Karim in early 2022 in the depth of pandemic, he said he signed up IRONMAN 70.3 Nice and probably only for swim and bike, as he got problem on his hip, after few more observation and conversation, I believe he will able to finish the whole thing, without worrying the cutoff, this time he made it! See his story!

2023 IM703Vietnam by Leo

Waking up at 3:30am, with terrible sleep quality, I started gobbling the bread I brought from Hong Kong which is the same meal I had before every Saturday ride in the past few months so my stomach is well adapted to the meal, with a few extra bananas.

2023 IRONMAN 70.3 VIETNAM

Post-COVID era, we re-grouped our morale, 5 months of making, 14 good souls, (some need a few glasses of wine before signing up), back to our structural training journey week after week since last December! From the moment we started training around 15-20C comfortable temperature, towards the race day in scorching heat probably around 40C in Da Nang, Vietnam! Eventually we overcame our self doubts, and demonstrated mental toughness, we all crossed the finish line with great satisfaction!

Goal setting

as we reconnect to the World, we will race around the region/world again, how should we do, how would you define your goal? What is it? Strava publishes a research saying January 17th is Quitters Day because that’s how long the average New Years Resolution lasts. I know it won’t happen in Team Sonic but we do take ownership and hold accountability of what we define for ourselves! Make no regrets!
