7:25 I honestly cannot imagine the pride your dad has for you. I’m already so proud of you and I’m quite literally a stranger. My heart is so full seeing the support your family has for you.
Ahhh.. that made me so emotional. It was so amazing to follow your journey on Instagram. Seeing you reach your goal now is just indescribable and you should be so proud. I'm looking forward to everything that's yet to come.
Rutger, you are A FREAKING IRONMAN. Beyond proud of you!!! Not gonna lie, I did tear up watching this, especially with your dad's message. I still remember that post where you had that brick session that did not go as planned and your energy dropped a lot. It was part of the journey. You proved yourself right, and that's something you can be so proud of. Rutger, GO ONE MORE! 🤘🏻
Ze zeggen wel eens dat triathlon 80% Mentaal is en 20% fysiek. 22 juni in Hoorn is mijn eerste Iron man (70.3). Onwerkelijk hoe deze docu helpt bij mijn training. Je bent een inspiratie, Dankjewel Rutger.
I've just seen your video, it gets me emotional ! Wonderful experience and the storytelling is really great ! Be proud of you man, in 2 weeks I'll try the same in Barcelona, this kind of video hype me so much ! Thank you and congratulation man
Grote klasse man! Wat een inspirerende en motiverende journey 🙌 Constant aan jezelf twijfelen en telkens weer jezelf bewijzen is enorm motiverend om te zien en geeft mij ook hoop voor mijn Ironman voorbereiding. Je bent een voorbeeld voor velen en mag trots zijn op deze geweldige prestatie. Bedankt voor het delen! ❤
This is SO awesome! I have been following you for quite a while on instagram so I already knew you made it, but seeing you go over the list of things to pack with your dad made me nervous for you through the screen. This is such an awesome achievement and you are such an inspiration! My motivation levels rise whenever I see your content, but this has to be the absolute peak. Thank you for that.
big congrats Rutger!! not only for an incredible performance but also for sharing this important story of yours: anyone can do it if u put your mind to it. hopefully we can share a race together in the future! 🙏 also big props to your crew for the cinematic capturing of the event
Zo zo zoveel respect voor jou! Je motivatie is erg aanstekelijk! 🙌🏼(Hoewel ik een Ironman niet overweeg hahah maar mijn eerste Hyrox in oktober, is al een challenge!)
Doing mine in April 2025💪🏽 T100 in London 2 mos after, then will do MDS Legendary in 2026 have not posted on YT yet more on IG. Cos it's not easy to juggle this, with 2 office jobs, and 2 businesses. I dunno how we are all still alive, but eeeyyyy!!!! 💪🏽 CONGRATS, MAN! 🎉
@@RutgerLetschert Thank you. I'm trying 😬 YOU are a great example, man 💪🏽 strong finish! Thank you for sharing your journey as this gives me guidance and motivation to continue on and get those dreams 🫶🏽
THE GOAT ❤👏. Thanks for inspiring me and everyone. You are great and hope one day accomplish even a tiny part of what you are doing Rutger. 6th october doing my first ironaman 70.3. Any recommendations? Thanks🚀🚀🚀
1:16 regular job? 2:34 after work? All this time I thought you weren’t working when you were training. Damn now there’s no excuse for me, eh? Getting my first VO2 max testing done on the 15th. So we’ll see how things will go for me.
Yeah at that time I had one, however now I want to pursue my dream of making more content about these challenges, so I quit the job to go all in and hopefully this RUclips journey (which is really fulfilling) will workout hahaha

4:11 call me crazy but there’s nothing more 🫦 than when you’re speaking in your native language

As soon as you make things like training a standard there won’t be time to go in discussion with yourself which will build a great discipline 🏆
An absolute legend.
