    Incredibly well produced documentary from such a small creator! You have some real talent for video production. I did a sprint tri last October and am doing my first Olympic at the end of May. I've definitely been toying with the idea of doing a 70.3 and I think I'm convinced. I'm about 215lbs right now and I just keep imagining how much easier the running will be if I just lost 30lbs. You earned my sub for sure

    Dude, what a fantastic story. I am so very pleased you started this journey to health at such a young age. It took me till well into my 30's before realizing I was killing myself with food, but, I changed, and triathlon has become a huge part of my life. As for a full Ironman, don't let the dream die. Anything is possible. You CAN do it! I'm gonna be following you on insta because I want to see it happen. Thanks for sharing your story!

    Great Ironman and fitness story.
    Just wanted to help you out by saying that you NEED to adjust your aero position on the bike. It was most likely the number one factor hindering your bike ride. It also looks extremely dangerous in terms of balance.
    I would say, move the seat closer towards the bar and get into a more aggressive position. You want your arms to be only slightly in front of your head. This will basically feel like cheating when you move from your old position to this one.
    I want to see you in more Ironmans, and hopefully I'll see you in person someday.
    Cheers!

      @TRIcoolbomb 2 роки тому +1

      Yes good video... And I agree with your comment. Probably he needs a 1 or 2 size smaller bike. But if this is bike you have to work with, get the shortest steam possible you can find, and the seat in the most adv possible position would help. I think that it would help a lot on the leg pain it was described.

      Thanks, man! I appreciate you! Haha… maybe one day 😅
      My legs were 100% shot for at-least 3 days after. My hamstrings were probably the sorest of any muscle. The position on the bike also takes a toll on the lower back.. so that was the other thing that had me the most sore too.
