In this episode of Tri2Thrive, Chris and Dennis sit down in the studio to relive a truly unforgettable weekend at the Castle Triathlon Malbork - one of Poland’s most unique and historic races.

🏰 Dennis takes us inside his journey of finishing his first full Ironman distance — from battling through algae-filled waters and long hours on the marathon to the emotional moment of crossing the line (and becoming a knight in the process).

🚴 Chris shares his own race-day story at the half distance, pushing new personal bests on the bike, stronger than ever - proof of how consistent training pays off.

💡 Together, they reflect on the power of friendship, community support, and why these shared experiences matter just as much as the medals.

And for those who want to level up their swim game:
