I absolutely loved this! Huge respect to you Fergus, your physicality, your strength and your relentless will to carry on are really hugely admirable traits. Your honesty around your struggle is inspirational. You’ve encouraged me to keep going forward and to tackle challenges with confidence. Thank you. Tom

[@tomhadman1110]

Fergus this has to be the most motivational video I've ever seen. As someone just getting into endurance racing, and having dealt with my own mental health battles in the past, it is so utterly inspirational to see you get through this and to talk about your mental battles at the end. An insane effort mate, and a brilliantly made video to boot.

[@gracemcleod6503]

What an incredible achievement! Your mindset is something that I massively look up to and what separates you from the rest. When things get tough and when things go wrong, like you said, it is so easy to loose your head! What an amazing team you had too. Beautifully shot video and the commentary is perfect. What an amazing video and achievement. Subscribed :)

Absolutely amazing race recap. Such an epic event and you clearly showed that this isn’t a race that’s just a physical challenge, but a mental one. The deep strength needed to keep going when actually all your body wants is to stop. This is so motivational!

[@noahbrink8654]

Insanely motivational, in-depth and beautifully put together video! Thankyou for this mini master piece

[@conkrcstf6405]

It's crazy how unphased you are for such a long time into the race. My one and only true endurance experience was 20 hours and by 7 hours in my psyche was completely shattered because I knew how long was remaining. Incredible performance and resilience. (Also filmmaking wise this makes me wish I'd done something like this for my own, it's so professional)

Thank you for your honesty. I am now where you were in 2016 and struggling. Endurance sport is giving me a fighting chance.

[@gezusgh]

Fergus, inspirational is an over used term but this truly is a very special achievement with your ability to overcome a lot of uncontrollable challenges, on top of what is an unbelievably tough event, something to be admired and praised. Your ability to provide a clear and concise log whilst exposing your personal vulnerability yet keep putting one foot in front of the other is a very, very powerful thing to watch as is your relationship and trust in the team around you. Bravo and much love 👊

[@winstongolden4177]

Fergus, that was an awesome watch mate. Love the reflection at the end, clearly completely genuine in your thinking about your motivation and trying to figure out why you do these crazy events and feats. I find it very relatable when thinking about why I do what I do. Keep up the great content mate and progressing. All the best, that was savage 💪💪

You're a legend Fergus. So motivating to watch your vids. I found your channel just after my little one was diagnosed with Leukemia (she's doing well now) 2 years back, and you've been a great inspiration for me, and I'm sure for other people, to keep pushing and to be resilient (and to be hybrid AF as you would say 😉). Well done and keep up the great work.

What a well put together video, really good edit and so inspirational. 1 ironman is really incredible but to do 2 is really something else, amazes me what the human body and the mind put together can really do. What a great team you had around you too. Got quite emotional at times for me especially at the end talking about your own experience of suicidal thoughts and how you've turned it all around, it's a beautiful story and outcome. Thanks for the video and great effort, well done Fergus 👏🏻

Bowled over by your attitude and resilience throughout the entire event - and yet you still remained honest with your analysis and feedback for the camera. Really is an incredible metaphor for battling mental health and life in general, having that key support network around you is so crucial. Got emotional at Johnny's words on Snowdon, thank you both for being so honest and open and helping spread the message that it's ok for men to talk. You inspire those of us who are just at the start of our own journey - there is hope. Thanks for everything you and the team do.
