    Coming from someone who went from zero experience to Ironman in under 6 months (3x finisher now), I can confidently say you've embarked on a journey that, if completed, will be one of the most incredibly fulfilling experiences ever. Enjoy the journey, celebrate the small wins along the way, dial in your training and nutrition, and crush it on race day. Best of luck man 🤝

    Hey Brody, I'm Seán from Scotland. YT just recommended me this video - I'm in a similar boat. I'm doing one of the UK's hardest triathlons (the Celtman) in June 2024 and I've started training last week with basically 0 experience.
    I was also planning on documenting the journey so it's funny to come across this video and see someone else doing something so similar!
