Hard workout had opened a new world for the man. As a hockey player, the training had been very different.

The Polish wants to act as an example for other people. He wants to show that even a big person can become a triathlon competitor.
– I want to show people that even a fat man can quickly become an athlete competing in a triathlon. At the top of my career I weighed 152 pounds. Today, I am practically a third lighter.
– I’m starting to commit to healthy lifestyles more and more. Sometimes even more than during my racing career.
Malachowki says he is training every day and committing to a careful diet. He says he is thinking more about his eating than during his racing career.
– Throughout my career, I’ve never lost weight. Nowadays I regret it because it could have helped me. Then I believed that the more I ate, the better. It is only now that I realize that after eating fast food, my body cannot withstand training.
