How a birthday gift sparked a Triathlon journey – with Marcin
In this episode of Tri2Thrive, Chris sits down with Marcin (a triathlete, father, husband, and HR professional from Poznań), to explore how one unexpected challenge turned into a life-changing passion.
Marcin’s triathlon journey started as a birthday dare for a friend — 40 challenges for a 40th birthday — and one of them happened to be a triathlon. Without hesitation, Marcin joined the fun… and found himself hooked.
What began as a spontaneous decision quickly evolved into a deep passion for endurance sports, community, and self-discovery. In this episode, Marcin shares:🏊♂️ How he went from zero triathlon experience to completing a Half Ironman under 5h30🚴♂️ What it means to balance training, work, and family life🏃♂️ The lessons triathlon taught him about planning, mental strength, and letting go💬 Why the community spirit and small progress steps matter more than speed or rankings💡 How consistency, discipline, and mindset translate into both sport and career
Marcin reminds us that triathlon isn’t just about performance, it’s about growth, balance, and joy. His story is a beautiful reflection of what Tri2Thrive stands for: community, passion, and living life actively.
