Omar Abd El Atty started his triathlon journey with Coach Rehab in December 2025, with the goal of completing his first ever Triathlon an Olympic distance race at the end of January 2026. After only a short period of structured training, he crossed the finish line in 2 hours and 58 minutes.

From there, we began working toward his next major goal: IRONMAN 70.3 Oman on 24 October 2026. In May, Omar completed his second Olympic distance race at Soma Bay in 2 hours and 49 minutes, improving his performance by nine minutes within just 3 months.

His running has progressed significantly as well. By June, he had improved his half marathon time from 2 hours to 1 hour and 45 minutes a remarkable 15 minute improvement.

What makes Omar’s journey even more impressive is that he is also a medical student. Balancing demanding studies with consistent triathlon training is far from easy but his dedication and commitment have allowed him to continue progressing.  We carefully build a balanced schedule that enables him to complete his key training sessions without compromising his academic responsibilities.

Omar is now preparing for his first IRONMAN 70.3 in Oman with the long term ambition of qualifying for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship 2029.
