Anders Hofman: surviving worlds deadliest race in Antarctica

From Nine To Noon, 10:08 am on 5 March 2024

In 2020, Anders Hofman became the first and only person in history to complete a long-distance triathlon in Antarctica.

It involved a 3.9 km swim in ice water, a180 km bike on a glacier, and a 42.2 km run in ice and snow.

Many believed it couldn't be done due to the brutal and unpredictable weather conditions.

The Danish management consultant, Anders Hofman, was by all accounts, just an average guy until he set himself a goal to prove that 'Limitations are perceptions' and that the ordinary can achieve the extraordinary.

The feat was captured in a documentary called 'Project IceMan', which is now available to watch on YouTube.

Anders Hofman completed the first-ever, long distance triathlon in Antarctica, the Iceman, to show that limitations are perceptions of what we can achieve.
