Welcome to My Athletic Journey!

 

Hello, I'm Ahmet Kucukasci, a versatile athlete with a passion for triathlons, swimming, running, and conquering obstacle courses. My athletic odyssey began at the age of 7 with competitive swimming, later branching into Muay Thai before finding my stride in the world of triathlons.

 

From Holland to Ironman:

During an enriching year as an Erasmus student in Holland, I momentarily paused my sports journey, gaining valuable life lessons and a bit of weight. The regret fueled my comeback, and I immersed myself in Muay Thai until 2017.

 

Triathlon Epiphany:

In 2014, the decision to attempt an Ironman marked a turning point. What started as a one-time challenge evolved into a love affair with triathlons. Sprint, Olympic, half and full Ironman races followed, each contributing to my evolution as an athlete.

 

Overcoming Challenges:

Despite setbacks like a shoulder injury, I persevered. Shifting my race plans from Copenhagen to Bahrain, I finished Ironman Turkey and Bahrain 70.3 successfully in 2019 after only 2.5 months of training.

 

Spartan Spirit:

The year 2023 brought a new challenge – my first Spartan Beast Race in Zagreb. An unforgettable experience that redirected my focus towards pool swimming and Spartan competitions.
