In the world of professional triathlon, discipline is everything. But German star and former Ironman 70.3 World Champion Rico Bogen might have just taken the “no excuses” mantra to a whole new, hilarious level. In a video on social media, the pro triathlete finds himself facing the ultimate test of willpower.
The Dilemma
The scene is set: Bogen is geared up, helmet on, and ready to roll out for a grueling bike session. Just as he’s about to head out the door, his wife appears, clad only in a towel, making it very clear that she has a different kind of “workout” in mind.
Most people would be leaning their bike against the wall before the towel even hit the floor. But Bogen? He doesn’t even blink.
