Just like the Bitcoin Racing car team in the UK and Hal Finney's "Running Bitcoin" - I have started Tri Bitcoin (Triathlon meet Bitcoin) in order to promote Bitcoin awareness and adoption through this beautiful sport-discipline called triathlon. Est. Block #829364

The inaugural Garden Triathlon was super fast and fun.
Weather didn't look too good at the beginning of the week but quickly warmed up.
The @OrangeRocketBTC did very well, coming 7th overall in the standard distance.

Fun race at the Garden Route Ultra Triathlon this weekend in Mossel Bay.

Toying around with new trisuit design: current one has some limitations (getting it on and off, zip chafe, small rear pockets) and comfort factor.
@OrangeRocketBTC time for an upgrade?
What you think @BitcoinIronman?

Akhona Mabuto Livingstone, better known as @OrangeRocketBTC in Mossel Bay, South Africa 🇿🇦, has his sights set on competing in an @IRONMANtri world championship race.
The @BitcoinEkasi community leader and instructor in @the_surfer_kids project is looking to set an example for what someone who comes from a disadvantaged background can accomplish if they put their mind to it.
But Akhona also knows that he can't do it alone. Thus far, the Bitcoin Ekasi and broader South African Bitcoin community has supported him, but it's time for the global Bitcoin and triathlon communities to get behind him, as well.
So, in this interview, not only will you learn Akhona's story as well as the details of the efforts he's making to become a world-class athlete, but you'll also learn about the small but important things you can do to support him.
Enjoy the interview, and please help be the wind at Akhona's back as he takes on this heroic endeavor!
No excuses, even when the wind shows up! 🌬️ Snapped the pre-run selfie, strapped on the Garmin, and got straight to work. Ended up locking in 10.84 km in under 50 minutes.
⚡️ 10.84 km @ 4:36/km pace | 139 bpm avg HR

Early starts, clean water, open skies. No excuses.
Lekker. 💪

Just like bear markets are for building.
Winter is the best time to train whilst others are lazy, cold and tired.
#tribitcoin #bitcoinironman #bitcointriathletes
No race until September. So why train this hard right now?
Low time preference isn't just a Bitcoin idea — it's how Akhona trains. Inside the session nobody sees. 🟠

Circumstances don't determine destiny. Decisions do.
The one decision that took Akhona from rock bottom to the podium. If you're where he used to be — watch this.
