That is a hell of an improvement from that first olympic distance to a sub 10 iron distance! That time can't all be explained by getting a faster bike setup, that was years of hard work. Well done!
Ah! I just watched you getting Rinsed by Mark Lewis for your “wattage cottage” then this come up on my recommended 😂😂😂😂 yes triathlon Dan! Lessssgo. Subscribed
Absolutely loved this and it’s given me the incentive to try and get back into training after years of illness and injury. Let the fun begin. Been following your channel for a while now and find it very interesting. Thank you for putting your time into producing the channel.
Over 3 years I’ve followed you this is the first time I’ve heard the full story. Love it, i did my 1st event as a 70.3 it actually worked out but it took me just under 7 hours so not so fast but love it been chasing that full distance for the last 3 years and I think I’m 2.5 years before getting there at Ironman CDA In Idaho
@@TriathlonDan I’m sure you could find a pod that will have you. What a bout Harry and the butt I mean chase pack podcast? If you offer someone a colab on your UA-cam channel I be you could find a taker
I’ve never done a triathlon, mainly on account of not being able to swim. But one thing I have learned from doing expedition length adventure races that probably applies to triathletes as well is “pain only hurts”. A little bit of soreness won’t kill you, don’t quit because quitting will haunt you for years.
You do make me realise that I can do IMW however my confidence is gone. I'm not doing triathlon next year, I've two marathons and race to the stones booked, I do like the look of Weymouth though
That is amazing! What a great achievement! You have inspired us to start our own Ironman journey right from the start! Would love if you could give it a look, let me know what you think!

I think I'd like to do a podcast style interview about it, but nobody will have me on LOL! You got this, just keep chipping away :)

Nice improvements dan
Still going after my goal for my local tri and a few goal races
Roth is a dream race for me
Thanks! Hey the local races can be awesome too. One day in Roth then 👍👍

That's such a cool quote! There's a lot more pain in life than we'll ever experience through exercise eh :) Thanks for that!
Great video Dan. What were your Ironman Wales time?
Thanks very much! I think they were 11:17 and 11:24 or something like that, very close to eachother anyway, that race is survival not a race!

Confidence comes from within mate, those events will stand you in good stead, you don't need to rush it!
Having been on a similar journey myself, I can completely relate. Only difference is that I could never sink a pint that quickly! 🤣🤣
Haha nice one! Something to work on eh ;)

Thanks very much - sounds cool, I’ll check it out!
