Training for Dubai half Ironman, my first 70.3, aged 52! I learnt to swim a year ago. Thank you for this real, honest video. It's really helped me feel positive that I can do it

@yacinebenamane3290 4 года назад

Amazing - hope it went alright

@Try_n_2Tri 5 лет назад

Awesome video and journey. I am where you were when you began - can run, just started cycling... swim like a rock. You give the normal person hope. Good job.

@devinmurphy3825 2 года назад

Absolutely love this story. I'm on the same journey with veggies. I've done numerous running/ultra trail events and learning the cycling and the swimming. Getting swimming right is brutal! Major thanks for this video my friend.

@gleg8495 4 года назад

Watching you cross the finish line brought back tears to when i finished my 1st IM , this year. I'm glad i was able to relive that moment through you video. 💪💪

Way to go! Incredible to see such a big transformation.

@PartTimeTriathlete 3 года назад

Thank you so much!

@nickcarter6628 4 года назад

Hi, I started running just like you, built it up slowly and have got the bug now. I’m doing my first 22 mile trail running race next week but already looking into doing a half Ironman. Watched a few videos online and came across this one. I was amazing to watch this and see you trained in rugby as that’s where I’m from. Watching this was like watching my self, I can’t swim either. Thank you for posting this and helping others to have a go at someone new!

@PartTimeTriathlete 4 года назад

Glad to provide some motivation, hope the run goes well for you :D

@esoteria1966 4 года назад

I love what you did (and sharing your journey). I am that 53 "fat" (i call it more cosy) dad who will try to do the same for a 70.3 IM in summer 2020. Your journey inspired and motivated me even more.

@jasonprfrost1 4 года назад

Thanks John very motivating got my first Half Ironman in May 2020 my running is nowhere near yours but my swimming is much better !! Currently I can run only up to 3 miles and I am mountain biking for 2 hrs + 3 times a week and haven't even started in the pool yet! thanks again

@Iron_DD 5 лет назад

You'll be that guy that people talk about, "my mate did an Iron man". Transports you to legendary status. Well done mate, quite rightly proud. I start triathlon training tomorrow with a target of the Bolton Iron-man 2020

@royfr8136 3 года назад

How did you do?

@paulmay5779 6 лет назад

Top work. Just signed up for my first half ironman and was browsing some inspiration. Very impressive doing it from a standing start with no real base level of fitness, kudos sir.

@PartTimeTriathlete 6 лет назад

Everyone's gotta start somewhere I guess, but I'm glad you enjoyed, made this to hopefully inspire others :D

@jonfeldstein3545 5 лет назад

Great video and story. Really motivating. I've done one sprint tri and doing another one in a few months. Looking to do an Olympic tri in the fall and work my way up to half ironman.

@ArunsTravels 5 лет назад

I did Weymouth in 2017 as well and similar story. Desperate to do a full but unfortunately I dislocated my shoulder badly last year swimming front crawl (this was my 10th dislocation) so had to stop swimming and concentrate on bike/run. Got shoulder surgery in October so hopefully back to swimming early 2020 and then full Ironman 2021. If you haven’t already done it I’d really recommend Long Course Weekend in Tenby. Amazing atmosphere & scenery and a fantastic weekend of swim/bike/run!

@markhitchcock7380 5 лет назад

Nice one John! I’m training for a very short novice triathlon in a couple of months, so nowhere near a half Ironman, and this is good motivation.

@PartTimeTriathlete 5 лет назад

Push yourself in training and then just focus on enjoying the event, good luck - John

@PartTimeTriathlete 6 лет назад

@kevinwilliamson1883 5 лет назад

Great video and congratulations on completing the 70.3! I'm also vegan and 3 years into my Triathlon journey. Stick with it and maybe think about getting a coach. You will be well under 6 hours next time I'm sure!

Fact that swimming is new to you and you did it, it’s awesome. Trying to get my friends to do this. First excuse was the swim. They need to hear you. I am about to do my first one.

@PartTimeTriathlete 6 лет назад

That was a lot of people scheme of choice at Weymouth, probably because it was the cheapest tri suit on wiggle ^_^ - John

@notacarnist5554 5 лет назад

Well done and thanks for the video. Similar to you, I went vegan, found rich roll podcast, read the book, got inspired. Signed up for weymouth 2019 (1st triathlon) The vid was a big help. Well done again.

@maggielau8137 5 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your journey. It's a real inspiration as I'm thinking about signing up for my first 70.3. How long did you spend training for it from when you started to learn how to swim to race day?
