Pyszka-Bazan showed what she struggled with during the competition. This is what her feet looked like
Now Pyszka-Bazan recalled the events from a year ago, sharing a recording on social media. The triathlete shared behind-the-scenes moments that show what she had to deal with most of the time, covering the distance in less than 24 hours. She captioned the video:
What an ultramarathon looks like 99 percent of the time.
Thus, she drew attention to the moments when she cries, recovers, stays in the hospital and shows the condition of her visibly bruised feet after completing the Ultra Triathlon and who are not visible on social media. Success was paid for with work and great pain. In the section, Internet users expressed their admiration and respect for the Pole’s achievement.
And I naively thought that… you don’t have a problem with your feet. I admire.
I admire you. You are an amazing person with great strength and determination.
Massacre. I admire it very much. A lot of sacrifices and a lot of effort you had to put in.
Gosh, those toes. I’m sorry.
Robert Karaś persuaded her to take part in the competition. During the distance, fries turned out to be a salvation
In a conversation with Alicja Pyszka-Bazan, she admitted that Robert Kara¶ persuaded her to take part in ultra competitions. While covering the distance, she could count on his mental support. – I was more eager for a vacation than for new challenges, but one impulse and one conversation were enough, one evening with Robert, who aroused something so amazing in me that the next day I was ready to take on this crazy challengeah, because it really is madness. – she recalled. There were also unusual cravings that players have at some point. – My team was willing to do everything, but at some point I had an incredible craving for fries. Salted. And of course it worked. […] I rather prefer sweet products, these French fries were a delicacy and salvation for me. They tried to force me to do other things, but I refused. I got the broth and almost threw it back at the dietitian. They know I hate chicken soup. They tried because they thought maybe something would change for me, but no. I think the fries saved the situation a bit. – Pyszka-Bazan confessed.
