ON THE WAY TO BORÓWNO 2011
WHY I DO IT… Because It makes me happy!
- it makes me smile - the endorphins boost my mood immediately after the run/swim/bike - it engages me. There are moments, when I forget about everything and focus entirely on running - it helps me to build important relationships - in WITC I met amazing people and some of them became my best friends…
Ewa Smiechowska, Marathoner/Triathlete
WHY I DO IT…
…- it gives my life more meaning - when I run with Spartans to collect money for charity or help my friends achieve better results - it gives me the sense of achievement - when I compete with others and with myself and win.

SUSZ 2012
WHY I DO IT… “Why do I run? I started running to keep fit, then I started thinking about important things while I was running and I got addicted to it. Every day running 25 km along the beach while I had a feeling that with every step, minute and kilometer I was better as an athlete an as a man… I couldn't stop...
The only thing that could stop me was my knee injury - I had surgery 2 weeks ago and now I'm counting the days over next 5 months until I will be able to run again. It will be a long winter of rehabilitation, but most important is that during the spring I will start running again! I will start living...” Radek Pietroń, Runner

LODZ HALF MARATHON 2012
10K CLUB CHALLENGE 2012
WHY I DO IT… Training is the best thing to keep focused. That's my "sharping the saw”. Generally, we are humans. If one finds something "right" for him, he gets there, no matter what. Ironman is right for me. Get there and have fun. No rational explanation. ...btw, did I mention the chicks at the finish line? ;-)) Adam Piekarski, Marathoner/Triathlete

WHY I DO IT… “It is a great opportunity to grow. When you push yourself to higher limits you have to leave the comfort bubble that you are in .... and because I am blessed with the physical ability to do it.

WHY I DO IT…
“Swimming is lot of fun. It helps to concentrate on a certain activity, it's a meditation. Running helps to breath fresh air, if to choose the right route. Biking helps to understand how far it's possible to go, from all meaning, to check the edge of hopeless.. and then to find the power to return back home :)” Leonid Bandrivchak, Runner/Cyclist
