I completed an Ironman 70.3 | here’s what happened !

[@davidrincon4264]

To get into KZbin and the fitness world and to start with an iron man from the start , you will be unstoppable for sure , keep going , ALWAYS GO ONE MORE

[@Joshharrisonfit]

Thanks mate this means alot’ i appreciate the comment!

[@Koleys]

Just completed the NY 70.3 Ironman, after 4 months of training. 6 months ago I couldn’t swim 25y, couldn’t run 5 miles, didn’t own a bike or any gear. What a wild summer of training, heat, exhaustion. The weather here in NY made race miserable. But ready for what’s next

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Love this - so good. I started training for my first 70.3 about 6 weeks ago, and this is such good motivation. I have 9 months still to go before mine- giving myself a lot of time to prepare, and it is incredible to see my fitness level improve so quickly already. I did sports growing up but now I'm 30 and getting back... I know I'm gonna be the fittest I've ever been in my life come next summer and I cannot wait to see what I can push myself to do. Went from dying from just a couple laps of swimming to now being able to crush 2,000 meters with only 3 stops and not be out of breath in only a bit over a month. My running fitness has radically improved - and biking... well... it's getting better but it's my least favorite part haha. We get told too often that when you hit 30 it's all down hill from there and you are past the peak... but I'm not buying it. I believe my best and most healthy and most fit years are still way ahead of me. I got 3 little kids - and I've had moments when I've realized that I could be doing these events well into my 50s and above, so now it's about setting an example for them about hard work and striving for something big and hard and who knows... maybe someday I'll find myself doing one of these events with my boy or girls when they're older.

[@Joshharrisonfit]

Amazing to hear it man! Good luck with your training

Thanks bro appreciate the support!

[@katiaricci9296]

Amazing video! It's so great that you share your love for water. Swimming is such an amazing sport and it's lovely to see you enjoy it, keep going with these great videos. If it doesn't bother you, I'd like to give you a suggestion, a tip for the next videos: Basically, you could try inserting some comic and funny stuff... to give everyone a pinch of humor that, in the world of swimming, can never be missing. Now, I don't think much of it, but the first thing I could think of in your sport might be peeing in the water. Once, my uncle, who is a scuba diver, peed in his wetsuit during a long diving session and that moment was absolutely funny, he even wrote "I’m peeing" on a waterproof notebook during the session. He has always been telling me that there are 2 types of divers and swimmers: those who pee in the water and those who lie. I know it may sound strange as a request but, in my opinion, these are moments of happiness and carefree that always make everyone smile. I hope you like the idea and I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@stuartwalker7345]

One of the best Ironman vlogs. Can’t wait to book Bolton next year at the end of the month. Maybe see you there 🤘🏼

I'm wondering how @LNFilms_ was able to get inside the transition area and all other areas where only athletes are allowed. I joined a 70.3 last July and IM officials were very strict. Congrats by the way. With your physique, you can finish a 70.3 ironman even without training 😁
