Mit jeder Faser - Mein Weg zum härtesten Triathlon der Welt

Back to Kona! As a child, news anchor Thorsten Schröder only had one passion: soccer. However, a back injury ended his club career. Instead of kicking the ball, he, as an active teenager, could only engage in sports very limitedly. Swimming, cycling, and running were still possible. Over the years, what started as a necessity turned into a burning passion for the sport that combines all three disciplines: triathlon. The challenges he faces in competitions grow larger, and his training becomes tougher. Eventually, he sets his sights on qualifying for the legendary Ironman Hawaii. Thus begins the breathtaking project Kona. In this updated and expanded new edition, "Thorso" Schröder not only shares his experience of participating in the toughest triathlon in the world but also reflects on the time afterward – and how he embarks on the journey to make his dream of Hawaii come true once again. It's motivation for anyone seeking a sporting challenge, training for a long-distance event, wanting to complete a marathon, fine-tuning their training plan – and entertainment for all those who prefer to enjoy sports passively.
