In my 11 year long career as an athlete, I have spent many years training in Istria. Hundreds and hundreds of training sessions I have spent around Pula, getting inspired by diverse terrain suitable for training and the climate which is optimal for recovery. Although I was born in Zagreb I know Pula almost as well as my own hometown. In a recent period of training I have explored its fortification architecture and one of the examples of it I included in this programme.

The programme is imagined as a sport preparation of sorts, but the idea has grown beyond the training process itself, so I have also included group gatherings and sightseeing trips around Pula and Istria.

Jučer sam odmah po povratku u Zagreb iz San Francisca posjetio Ljubljanu. Naime, tamo je održano prvo okupljanje slovenskih Ironmana. Brojka je za mene impresivna- više od 100 ljudi(oko 130) koji su završili Ironman! Neki od njih finiširali su Ironman još u godinama kada smo u Hrvatskoj tek počinjali sa triatlonom i kad još nismo imali svoj savez.

Čak osam njih ima rezultat ispod 9 sati!

Rekord u Ironmanu drži Damjan Žepić sa 8:19:59, slijede odmah Velepec Uroš 8:32:29 Klagenfurt 2001, Kogoj Igor 17 8:33:49 i moj trener Tomšič Jani 8:44:00.

Najviše završenih Iromana ima Cokan France, čak 24!

Najbolja Irondama je fantastična Nakrst Nataša u vremenu 9:23:00, slijedi odmah Trnkoczy Ana koja je u klagenfurtu 2004 ostvarila 10:37:21.

Na Svjetskom prvenstvu u Ironmanu sam zauzeo 29.mjesto u vremenu oko 8:59. Nisam uspio popraviti plasman 24. mjesta od lani i popraviti vrijeme, ali sam iznova osjetio zov borbe sa najboljima.
