Jurand Chabański, a Polish ultratriathlonist and physiotherapist, did the almost impossible thing — he completed a ten-time Ironman in little than 170 hours, setting a fresh planet record. This awesome consequence is not only the culmination of years of hard work, but besides the announcement of another, even more challenging challenge. As early as June, Chabański plans to effort to complete 50 times Ironman, which could bring him the Guinness record.
Triumph in Brazil
The competition took place in early May in Brazil, where Chabański faced a distance of 38 km swimming, 1800 km cycling and 422 km running. The full way was made in 169 hours, 53 minutes and 33 seconds, beating the planet evidence to date. Information from the tour was shared on social media, gathering a community of fans and endurance sports enthusiasts around it.
Life outside the athletics – work in UFC
Although Czabański's athletic achievements are impressive, his everyday life is besides professional work. He lives in Florida, where he works as a physiotherapist, mostly with athletes active in combat sports. He collaborates with UFC players, including Poles fighting in the largest MMA federation in the world. As he admits, his current career overseas is the consequence of years of working with fighters in Poland and the improvement of global contacts.
Ambitious Plan: 50-time Ironman
Jurand Chabański does not intend to remainder on his laurels. In June, she plans to effort to complete the 50-fold Ironman — an utmost challenge that covers as much as 175 km of swimming, 9,000 km of cycling, and 2210 km of running. What's more, he plans to fit into the 45-day limit, which is the time allowed for... 30 times Ironman.
The first effort was to take place in March, but organizational problems — including the deficiency of approval for a way through a park in Florida — forced a postponement of the deadline. Currently, Chabański aims for the second half of June, and the location is likely to be transferred to Illinois.
Jurand Chabański proves that the limits of human endurance can be moved further than always before. His planet evidence in the ten-time Ironman is not only a sports result, but proof of determination, self-discipline and passion. If he succeeds in completing 50 times Ironman in the planned time, he will join the absolute planet top endurance athletes and enroll himself permanently in the past of ultratriathlon.
It is worth observing his further actions — Jurand Chabański is simply a name that we will hear many times in the planet of utmost sports.
