My First Ironman - Copenhagen 🇩🇰

Ironman Copenhagen 🇩🇰
2 weeks ago I completed my first ever Ironman.
But half way through things took a turn for the worse and my body started to shut down.
After 11 months of relentless training, I stepped out of my comfort zone as a speed and power specialist into the world of endurance sports. It was a true test of my mental and physical fortitude.
In this two-part series, I share my struggles and triumphs as I take on this epic challenge. From exceeding my own expectations in the swim and bike segments to facing unexpected hurdles due to illness and fuelling issues, this race pushed me to my limits.
Despite the odds, I pushed through, even when my oxygen levels plummeted to 60% I finished this epic rave. My journey didn't end at the finish line; it continued in the ICU where I had to take medical care for an exercise induced pulmonary oedema.
So many lessons to share, to which I the second video is to follow
If you're wanting to become an Ironman, want to learn more about endurance or just want to watch how I got on this is for you.
Second part to drop mid week.
Stay Strong ⚔️

The whole Ironman series was quality, best ive seen on TH-cam as you get a sense that everyone in the team has an integral part to play with getting everyone over the line, this sort of teamwork is alien in todays world. Also good to see people who "Talk the Talk" actually "Walk the Walk" as the fitness industry is littered with these so called specialists that sit in a warm room in a comfortable chair drinking coffee whilst telling us minions what we need to do which anyone can do. I would rather like to hear from people who have the 3 jobs and family to keep going but still manages to find time to do marathons, Ironmans and endurance events thats the people that really need to get a platform like Will.
