How NOT to end Januari 😭 -> stress fracture in my right foot. 2,5 weeks ago I got some pain in my right foot after a normal easy 1,5h run. The sports physician confirmed sadly the worst case scenario after an x-ray of my foot. Still getting used to the rest and doing almost nothing. Hopefully I'm back before I know it.

Loved racing last weekend in Rotterdam at the @bruggenloop Always a hard and challenging race. Went for a PR but the wind on the bridge was too strong. Still good pace and form into the build for 2024. 📸: @mirjamvanraamsdonkfotografie @pac_wedstrijd_selectie @bikepro_nl @athletesportsworld @dehardloopwinkel

Checking off my biggest goal for this year. Bachelor of Science in Medicine in the pocket. Took some extra time due to covid and other (sportive) plans/goals but I did it. Taking a gap year now and trying to make a big step in triathlon before starting with the master Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Sciences in 2024 and eventually a Master in Medicine.

Looking back at a DNF last weekend at the IRONMAN 70.3 Westfriesland. . Directly at the bike mount I felt something was wrong with my rear tire. I had an awesome and good swim and it felt like it was not (yet) completely flat so I just went for it. Cornering was almost impossible and riding 40 km/h felt like 45. I switched my mindset from AG podium/top 5 in just finishing the bike part and run like hell. Made it till km 83, took a very bad turn and lost almost my rear tire of my wheel. Called it a day at that moment. . . At this moment no races planned for the second part of the season. But I will be back, I know I can take a podium place. . . @ironmanned @bikepro_nl @isaaccycle @athletesportsworld @amstelfysio #ironman703westfriesland #ironman703 #ironmantraining #swimbikerun #triathlon #triathlete #swim #bike #run #flattire #ironmannetherlands #asw #athletesportsworld #bikepro #isaaccycle #isaacmuon #amstelfysio #season2023

My 'home' race of the season. De Halve van Nieuwkoop. The goal, being faster than last year. . Failed to reach that goal. A lot of muscle cramps on the bike and at the start of the run. Mentally quit the race a lot of times and even stopped my watch to walk back to the finish. But with the support of friends and spectators, I didn't stop. . Now time to find what caused the muscle cramps and prepare for the next race. . 📷: @edwinfotografie_ @trinieuwkoop @athletesportsworld @bikepro_nl #tri #season2023 #bikepro #ironmantraining #raceweekend #amstelfysio #ironman703 #triathlon #swimbikerun #asw #isaaccycle #athletesportsworld #triathlonperfection #swim #bike #run

My first Half Distance Triathlon but also my first DNF on this distance. IRONMAN 70.3 Maastricht turned into a Run-Bike-Run. Good first good run after a knee tendon injury.

‘Go the extra mile. It’s never crowded there’ - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer . . . A 6k of the bike run with the mind set on the 3 last races. 2 non-stayer races and 1 stayer. I’m ready for them.

Fought till the end last Saturday in the final ‘Eredivisie’ race and The National Championship Sprint Triathlon. Lost focus of mind during the hard bike part and was dropped in the chasing group. When I almost got back I took the chance of going hard trough a corner to return. Got off the road, almost felt but managed to stay up. Ended up in no men’s land before and in T2 but during the run caught back the tail of the big leading group. The 36th place overall and 16th U23 was not the result I signed/planned for.

This one picture says enough. This wasn’t the race I came for in Malmö. I was very exited to race here but also very nervous for my first Elite men European Triathlon race. After a moderate swim (still enough to learn), I felt 2 times due to a slippery blue carpet in T1.

When you lose focus, close your eyes and focus again. Ended the first part of the season not as I wanted in Klazienaveen. Lost the first bikegroup after T1 and f*cked-up T2.
