Fun Fact: There were 278 comments to be exact in that last clip! Looking forward to hearing what your goals are for 2024 :)

[@andrewlandry5651]

I’m a physical therapy student trying to balance school, life, and training, and your videos are showing that it’s possible to do it all!

[@brodysearle]

It is hard mate but possible if planned :)

[@stephenquimby]

Did my first 50K bike race November of 2023 and now doing my first Sprint Triathlon in 5 days, olympic 10 weeks laters, and a 100K bike race in November. Those are my 2024 goals.

[@brodysearle]

Love it brother!! You've done more races than me :))

[@user-yv2yf2cc6c]

I have 32 finish lines planned for 2024. A message like yours will help me get there. Have a Great 2024!!!!

[@brodysearle]

Wow that’s cool!! Crush it! :)

[@joshuafoulds8107]

Olympic distance triathlon this Spring with my first ocean swim! 70.3 the next year and 140.6 in 2026! Us older folks have to progress a little more slowly

[@brodysearle]

Sweet mate!!! Exciting :)

[@cdnnurse01]

Great video once again, looking forward to 2024

[@brodysearle]

Thank you! :)

[@sandracopakova7745]

Best video. Amazing year. I'm looking forward to 2024. Ironman's gonna be a blast. And your storytelling? This is a real shift Love it ❤ love you

[@brodysearle]

Thank you! Means a lot! Thanks for the comments and following the series! :)

[@kayliemoore6414]

Last year I did my first half marathon. This year I am doing my first full marathon. Then early next year going to do my first 102 mile bike race. Getting closer and closer to an ironman journey. Keep it up Brody! Love watching your journey!

[@brodysearle]

Amazing Kaylie!! Love it :)

[@montanagreider6057]

Beautiful footage! Thanks for taking us along in your journey. Planning to run a half marathon in 2024 as well as hit up some more cyclocross races - stoked for it!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you! Wow amazing, what’s cyclocross races?

[@montanagreider6057]

⁠@@brodysearle a form of short-course bike racing. Think, “light” trail biking (grass/mud) on a road bike when it’s cold and wet.

[@brodysearle]

[@andrewhammonds4907]

Sweet video. I’m going for my 5th Marathon, first sub 3 hr attempt and 2nd Abbott World Major. Plus my first 70.3. Good times.

[@brodysearle]

Amazing bro! What’s an Abbott world major?

[@0xChristov]

I know nothing about editing, but the editing on this video seemed to blow my socks off, the transitions were great! Not sure if this is hard to do or what but (y)

[@brodysearle]

Appreciate it! :)

[@anoucanina]

First of all, this video is absolutely amazing! I want to run a 10k in september but seeing your videos and the few other people who did an Ironman in 6-10 months is motivating to do more. Maybe I will do the half marathon instead🤷‍♀️ The only thing is that I’m really bad at running 😅 I am trying to improve as good as I can…we’ll see

[@brodysearle]

Thank you!! Stay injury free and smash your goals 😁

[@mark_verbos]

It's never too late to get out there and do something. I didn't scuba dive until I was 35. I didn't do a triathlon until 43. I didn't do an Ironman until 2023, at 47. I am doing 2 in 2024. My only regret is that I didn't do those things sooner. People will ask what you are going to do next. Maybe for them this is something to hate and get finished, then get a tattoo. But I can't wait to do the next one, faster. It is an incredible journey and a way of life. You are doing it right!

[@brodysearle]

Love this mark! Stoked to hear that :) keep crushing it

[@andrewjames2721]

Great video! Love the edits, that’s why I stuck around and I’m assuming that’s true for most of the people watching.

[@brodysearle]

Thank you Andrew! :)

[@holmenxo]

proud of u

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother!

[@PascalKwaks]

In 2024 I (hope) I will: 1. Start my own small business in sports coaching 2. Do at least 3 triathlons 3. Enter a local swimming competition (if good enough)

[@brodysearle]

Love it mate! Love seeing you here every week - you're going to crush it!

[@AlexRusdy]

Amazing story telling man!!! Keep kicking goals bro 👍🏼

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother! Great meeting you this year!

[@haurdahl]

Thank you for taking us with you on your journey! Your vid’s provide a lot of motivation to keep moving towards my own Ironman goal. I look forward to seeing your progression in 2024! Happy new year!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you mate! You’re going to crush it!

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Hey, Brody! Another outstanding video! It’s been a beautiful journey receiving notifications from your channel! Thanks for sharing and keep up with the great work! You’re amazing! Have a wonderful New Year! Cheers from Brazil!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks Eduardo! Love your comments weekly - have a great new year :)

[@mikeyosiochru6847]

Hey man absolutely sick video once again and I myself am doing my first triathlon as well in 2024 hoping to smash it just like I know you will too :)

[@brodysearle]

[@thehype9980]

I decided to compete in my first Ironman this coming year. I have been looking into the correct gear and so forth. I found your video and absolutely fell in love with your style, and content! Can’t wait to continue to follow the journey this next year!

[@brodysearle]

Best of luck on your Ironman journey :) Thanks for the feedback!! :)

[@dearjustinlee86]

LOVED THIS! Your story telling is improving significantly. I look forward to your videos while I train for my Ironman.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks a lot! Slowly improving :) Best of luck on your Ironman!

[@shannongent7332]

Absolutely love this! Good luck for your Ironman and can't wait to continue watching your journey!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you so much!! Appreciate it :)

[@HollyDunnDesign]

Blimey, your filmmaking skills are out of this world! Can’t wait to see what you do in 2024. I’ll be taking on my first running marathon in April, so that’s my big goal at the moment. Between now and then there’s a 70.3 in Wanaka and some open water swim events.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks Holly - Thank you for the constant support through out this series! 70.3 in Wanaka... That would have some serious elevation!!! Crush it!

[@TaizesongsPD]

Thanks mate. Good sharing and honesty.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!!

[@ShawnIsBatman]

A beautiful video and message, thank you for sharing!! Wishing you the best for 2024 and loving the opportunity to go on the journey with you through your content, thank you for taking us along with you!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks Shawn - and for all your help in 2023!

[@brodysearle]

Love it mate!

[@Flymor1]

Just keep going!!!🤙

[@brodysearle]

That's it mate!

[@thomasray8275]

I WILL be completing a full distance ironman in August with the goal to complete one before i turn 19. currently 2 months into training and going well. Brody has been a massive inspiration and cant wait to see what the future holds for Brodie and myself. choo choo!!!!!

[@victordeblauwe6905]

really nice goal but you can't do an iron man when you are less then 18 years old. Because of the rules of iron man.

[@thomasray8275]

whoops, did actually mean 19, hahah@@victordeblauwe6905

[@brodysearle]

Love it Tom!! Let's go mate!

[@nickcugnetto3777]

This is amazing 🔥🔥

[@brodysearle]

Thanks my man! Hit up some gym sessions after this series for sure!

[@collinjanwarin]

I’m starting my marathon (Oct 2024) and full IRONMAN (summer 2025) prep as of January 1 🏊🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️ Big change, as I’m used to CrossFit/fitness 6 days a week. You inspired me to document my journey on KZbin 🙏🏽 First video will be up next Sunday! 🚀

[@brodysearle]

Amazing mate!! You’ll crush it! Tag me when it’s up :)

[@collinjanwarin]

@@brodysearle I will mate! Thanks for showing me and many others that - with the right mindset - anything is possible 💪🏽

My goal: heal from long covid :) It's has been a long road but step-by-step I'm getting there! Bring on 2024!

[@brodysearle]

Hope you're okay! Had patients with long covid - love the positive attitude, keep going :)

[@user-fn6bs7nz4l]

@@brodysearle Thanks! Doing a lot better now, it was a tough few weeks due to a set back. Positivity and progress (no matter how small) is what keeps me going!
