About the book

Yet somehow, he found himself signing up for an Ironman triathlon—one of the world's most gruelling endurance events, requiring a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a full marathon. This is the hilarious and inspiring account of his journey from complete novice to Ironman finisher. With self-deprecating humour and unflinching honesty, Holgate chronicles the mishaps, setbacks, and small victories that accompanied his transformation. His story will resonate with anyone who's ever taken on a seemingly impossible challenge, proving that with determination and a willingness to look ridiculous, extraordinary achievements are within reach—even for those who start at the very bottom.
