I’m a endurance athlete and I my goal is to complete an Half-Ironman before I graduate High School and a Full Ironman before I finish College.

Cross Country

Every Fall and Winter since 2021, I train 1hr each morning 3 times a week. Our season final for 2024 was a 5k race and a 15k relay on an muddy trail in KL against several other very competitive international schools.

Endurance Running

In 2023, my friend convinced me to sign up for the 2024 HCMC half marathon. We trained together several times a week, doing short, long and interval workouts. I completed the half marathon in 3:02.

In 2024, after training for cross country very intensely, I decided to do the 2025 HCMC half marathon with minimal traing. Completed in 2:08, very good improvement compared to previous year.

Endurance Cycling

In 2025, a different friend convinced me to buy a bike to join their group rides as I can improve my VO2 max. I decided why not and I’ve been on multiple rides with them across southern vietnam, the longest being 120k to Vung Tau.

Swimming

I was on the swim team in 2021 but decided to leave as it conflicted with my cross country schedule I kept training with a coach every weekend In 2025, I joined the swim team again to prepare me for my first Triathlon

Triathlon

Now that I was practicing all the sports I told my self, why not do a Triathlon. I convinced anouther friend to go to a Olympic Distance race with me in Bau Trang in march of 2025 and I finished in 3:40, which was a bit over my goal time. There aren’t that many triathlons near me, as both half-ironmans in vietnam require flying there. One I found near me was in August but I had to either do a Spinrt distace or a 70.3, one being to short and one being too long for me. I decided to do the relay for the 70.3 with a couple friends. I made two teams of 3 each which gives us encouragemant of wanting to beat the other team. I was doing the swim.
