The dust (and heat haze) has finally settled in Da Nang, and the results are in: It was a historic weekend for Vietnamese triathlon. At Lecka, we don’t just make energy bars and gels; we fuel the athletes who are rewriting the record books. This past May 10th, two of our brand ambassadors, Lam Quang Nhat and Myca, took to the course at Ironman Vietnam and delivered performances that will be talked about for years.
From 70.3 records to Full-Ironman endurance clinics, here is how they conquered the heat.
Lam Quang Nhat: The Fastest Vietnamese Athlete Ever (70.3)
Lam Quang Nhat didn’t just race; he made a statement. Competing in the Ironman 70.3 (Half-Ironman), Nhat blazed through the course to become the fastest Vietnamese athlete in the history of the event.
Finishing 2nd Overall in a field of international elites is no small feat, especially when you’re also claiming the top spot in your age group.
| Achievement | Detail |
| Finish Time | 4:13:44 |
| Overall Rank | 2nd Place |
| Age Group (25-29) | 1st Place |
| The Record | Fastest Vietnamese 70.3 Finisher Ever |
The Secret Sauce? At a 4:13 pace, there is zero room for GI distress. Nhat’s performance proves that "Real Food" isn't just a marketing slogan—it’s a performance necessity for athletes pushing the absolute limits of human speed.
Myca: 10 Hours of Resilience (Full Ironman 140.6)
While Nhat was sprinting the 70.3, Myca was busy tackling the "Big Dance"—the Full Ironman 140.6.
To finish a full Ironman in the Da Nang heat is one thing; to do it in 10:04:48 and become the Top Vietnamese Female Finisher is another level entirely. Myca went into the race with a goal of sub-10:30. She didn't just meet it; she shattered it by over 25 minutes.

The Challenge: 140.6 miles of swimming, cycling, and running under the punishing Vietnamese sun.
-
The Result: 2nd Place in Age Group (30-34) and the fastest Vietnamese woman on the course.
-
The Fuel: For a 10-hour race, nutrition is the "fourth discipline." Myca relied on Lecka’s easy-to-absorb, real-food nutrition to avoid the dreaded "bonk" and maintain her pace through the final marathon.
Why "Real Food" Wins in the Heat
Da Nang is famous for its humidity. In these conditions, many athletes find that synthetic, sugary gels become impossible to swallow, leading to a caloric deficit and the eventual "wall."
Our ambassadors choose Lecka because:
-
High Absorbability: Natural ingredients are easier on the gut when blood flow is diverted to cooling the body.
-
Steady Energy: No sugar spikes and crashes—just consistent fuel for 4-hour sprints or 10-hour grinds.
-
Taste: When you've been racing for hours, you need fuel that actually tastes like food.
"Ironman 140.6 is an energy management challenge. To keep the body performing steadily... proper fueling plays a critical role." — Myca
