The Brick – Q&A Session – Michal Buzynuk

  1. FULL NAME: Include cringey middle names please?!
    Michal Buzynuk
  2. BIRTHPLACE: And name other places you have lived
    Czech Republic, and in Galway since 2010.
  3. WHEN DID YOU JOIN GTC AND WHY?
    I joined in late 2024. I had done my first triathlon that year without any plan or experience, so I thought it would be a great idea to join the club.
  4. OCCUPATION
    Wholesale in the food service industry.
  5. PREVIOUS SPORTS
    Basketball, football and any sport for fun.
  6. SWIM / BIKE / RUN: Which do you prefer and why?
    I am relatively new to all three, as I had not specifically trained for them before I started doing triathlons. I seem to like each one more at different times of the year, but I probably enjoy cycling the most.
  7. FAVOURITE EVENT OR FAVOURITE PLACE TO TRAIN
    It must be Two Provinces in Lanesborough. It is a nice, flat-out sprint triathlon with great paella after the race. I also likeSea2Summit in Westport in November. It is a good race to close off the year.
  8. SPORTING CLAIM TO FAME: Name any sporting achievement you are most proud of
    The biggest achievement for me is that I even started doing endurance sport, as I have always been a team sport person.
  9. THREE MUSIC TRACKS THAT POWER YOUR TRAINING SESSIONS
    I always listen to DJ mixes in electronic music, techno, house and sometimes drum and bass. I grew up on that type of music, so it can power me through the session.
  10. YOUR ALL-TIME SPORTING HEROES AND WHY?
    Emil Zátopek.
  11. YOUR GTC HERO, AND WHY?
    It is definitely all the coaches, volunteers, members and people behind the club who show up, no matter the weather.
  12. GIVE US A FILM TITLE THAT SUMS UP YOUR APPROACH TO LIFE
    There is no movie that can sum up my life, hahah. It has been a roller coaster, but I think it is heading in a good direction.
