The 57-year-old took to Instagram on October 26 ahead of the 2024 Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i. In a carousel, he posed in his own Ironman gear and wished the competitors good luck, and his followers went wild.
“[WHAT] IS IN THAT LAMB SAUCE???” a fan asked.
“What if Gordon has a trainer who made him work out like he makes people cook food 😂😂😂😂,” another joked.
“What can Gordon Ramsey NOT do? This man is unstoppable,” wrote a follower.
Someone else made readers laugh by writing, “There’s a level 5 magnitude slayquake at Gordon Beach today.”
Another person eloquently likened his arms to his signature “raw muscles.”
Gordon Ramsay Completed An Ironman Race At 46
What many fans of Hell’s Kitchen don’t know is that Gordon Ramsay is a dedicated athlete who completed an Ironman in 2013. The iconic race includes a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run, and only the most elite athletes can compete. Gordon Ramsay finished his race in 14 hours 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
While speaking to Impact Magazine, the Michelin Star chef admitted that he began training to release negative energy, and he continues training to find peace.
“I’m a perfectionist and very passionate when it comes to cooking and my work,” he said. “I’ve always been like that. However, some people mistake my passion for anger, but when it comes to family, I’m the softie. I actually once cried when my 13-year-old got upset over her scrambled eggs! Without the training, I would be a wreck. I’ve seen so many chefs crash and burn, training is my release.”
