Dr. Pablo Erat is a successful serial entrepreneur and partner at Pioneering Ventures who

in the age of 34 decided to radically change his habits and start living a more healthy and

blissful life. On this journey, Pablo discovered endurance training and became a passionate

triathlete.

Despite a demanding job, including long working hours, extensive responsibility, and heavy

travel, Pablo managed to transform himself from an unhealthy business professional to a

multiple amateur Ironman champion with a personal best of 8 hours and 50 minutes.

Over the past 10 years, Pablo has completed 20 full distance Ironman races, participated 5
