Road to Kona 2021 - Ironman in Hawaii with Awilux
The challenge is huge, because you have to swim 3800 meters in the ocean, then cover over 180 km by bike between the lava fields, and finally run a marathon (42.195 km) in the scorching sun and very strong winds. Agnieszka Jerzyk, a triathlete, wants to face it, and AWILUX Polska will support her in achieving her goal.
The Ironman World Championship has been bringing together the world's best athletes for over four decades. They are held each year in October in the Hawaiian city of Kona. Over 2,000 athletes take up the challenge of getting to know the ultimate capabilities of their body and mind.
According to the plan, Agnieszka wanted to fight for the participation in Ironman 2020, but due to the coronavirus the competition was canceled, as well as a number of accompanying events where you could get an ironman "pass". So the plan was changed to 2021.
Agnieszka Jerzyk comes from Leszno. She is a two-time participant of the Olympic Games in triathlon (London 2012, Rio 2016). During the Olympics in London, she took 25th place, which was the best result achieved by polish triathletes during the Olympics. She qualified for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro as the only polish triathlete and took 22nd place.
Triathlon Champion of the World U-23 (Beijing 2011) and European U-23 (Gaia 2010). Medalist of the World Championship Series (Yokohama 2014), World Cup (Huatulco 2016) and a multiple winner of the European Cup. Gold and silver medalist of the Military Games (Rio 2011), (Korea 2015). She also won three medals in the Polish athletics championship.
In July this year, she made her debut in the ironman distance in the German Roth, setting a new Polish record, which is now 8:48:49. Our competitor is the first polish woman to break the 9h barrier at this distance.
