Road to Roth Jan Stratmann

In Episode 4 of Inside Tri Show’s Road to Roth series with lifejacketskin.com, we hear from German professional triathlete Jan Stratmann about why he is so excited to make his debut at Challenge Roth. Jan grew up hoping to be a professional footballer, until a ski accident put an end to his soccer dreams. Although his Dad was into triathlon and did Roth twice, Jan just thought 'he was crazy.' However with his football dreams in tatters, Jan set about trying to learn to walk again via aqua jogging and it turns out the German junior triathlon squad were training in the lane next to him. It was exactly what Jan needed to motivate him to recover from six months on crutches and gave him a new sporting dream. Roll on 2023, with his studies completed, Jan finished 3rd at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships, the perfect springboard to make his Roth debut the following year.
