In 2013 he set himself the challenge of completing an Ironman-distance triathlon, which he accomplished in Barcelona, Spain, in 2017. During the final 20 kilometres he had a flat tyre. "I had to focus myself on something that I found almost overwhelming. Yes, I could have chosen a simple triathlon, but what I wanted was something complicated. At first, even I doubted my ability to do it. I knew I had the flat tyre, but I wanted to finish so much, it was so close to my heart. Even if I had three flat tyres, I would have ended up crawling."
