TriFactory and the Egyptian athletes who aced the Barcelona Ironman triathlon

“I honestly don’t know why I am doing this race”: Seventeen Egyptian athletes from Ayman Hakky’s TriFactory completed the Barcelona Ironman triathlon on 2 October. For the uninitiated, that’s a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km bike ride, and a 42 km run. The team was the largest Egyptian contingent to compete in a full Ironman, and MBC is producing a short film on their 400-hour journey to the finish line. (That’s 400 hours — or nearly 17 days — of pure training). The full film is set to debut this weekend. In the meantime, we have the trailer for Mission: Barcelona(run time: 3:56).

Not up for a full Ironman? TriFactory is running its popular Sahl Hasheesh Triathlon from 1-3 December on the gorgeous Red Sea coast.
