Limitations are only perceptions, and if we challenge them, we can prove that we can overcome them. This is the powerful message Anders Hofman delivered by undertaking the first-ever Ironman distance triathlon in Antarctica, the Iceman, in February 2020.

The so-called “Project Iceman” is not an official race or competition but a way to prove that every ordinary person can achieve his or her extraordinary dream. By enduring every challenge and by setting no limits, everything becomes possible.

Anders completed the Iceman challenge by swimming 3.8 km, biking 180 km, and running 42.2 km in the cold land of Antarctica. It took him 72 hours, 54 minutes, and 9 seconds to complete his project.
