About

Who they are

Originally from Germany, Thomas has called Ireland home for almost 30 years. He is married with three boys and a dog that refuses to run with him. Coming from a running background, he completed Challenge Roth in 2016. Ten years and ten long-distance triathlons later, including two IRONMAN World Championships in Hawai’i, he loves the sport as much as on day one.

The journey

Their story

Thomas found Endurance Lab while looking for a performance testing centre in Ireland, and since last year he has also been coached by Tiago.

“It’s been clear from the onset that he is as passionate about the sport as I am. His meticulous approach and hands-on support has been super helpful, and I was really grateful to have him as part of my support crew during this year’s ICON Extreme Triathlon.”

His proudest moment came at the 2024 IRONMAN World Championship in Hawai’i. Ten kilometres into the run he was close to calling it quits, but with Jan Frodeno telling him to “suck it up” and his family behind him, he brought it over the line. #nothingisimpossible

“Enjoy every race, enjoy every moment. Remember it’s a privilege to get to do what we love.”

Bitten by the extreme triathlon bug, Thomas has signed up for Swedeman, and he hopes to get one more shot at Kona some day.
