Also, please don’t stop the vlogs. They’re great, and really informative

[@brodysearle]

Will need to stop for a little bit to focus on work but I’ll be back!! Still have a few videos to upload 😁

[@carlarosee]

Been watching you from day one! I hope there's more events or training blogs on the horizon. Really loved following your transformation!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks so much!! There will be more but I just need to work a little bit more now 😅

[@Verbizzle]

Brody! Watched every episode. Enjoyed every episode. Don't let the injury stop you from achieving your goal. You will become an IRONMAN. Pain is only temporary, victory is forever. Who cares that you cannot sport for weeks or months after the race? The goal is to become an IRONMAN. Accept and maybe even more enjoy the aftermath. Will be rooting for you in two days. You can do it! LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother!! Appreciate the love every week!

[@augustengell8262]

Wish you all the best next week!! You'll be a f*cking IRONMAN by next Sunday!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks bro ❤️

[@nikzechner]

Been here since day one. Just enjoy it man! Yes, the knee will hurt, but you've come such a long way and nothing will take that away from you! Sending some love from Austria 🫶🏻

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!! Appreciate that heaps ❤️

[@connornilson4875]

Hell yeah Brody! It’s game time, pumped to see how this Ironman journey ends.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks boss!!!

[@dannybutler8292]

Best of luck mate il b looking forward to watching you cross the finish line

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother!

[@susanneseibt9429]

Best of luck to you (and your knee!) for next week! Really enjoyed your videos and binge watched a lot of them while treadmill running or indoor biking! 😅 Seeing that over 10k people are subscribed to your channel it really would only take $1 from each of them to hit your donation goal for T2KO - so I hope more people come to support your cause in the last week 🤞🏼 Enjoy your journey to the finish line!!! 🎉

[@brodysearle]

For sure!! We’ve managed to raise nearly $2000 which is amazing, even though I set an ambitious goal of $10000. Always set the bar high 😅 Thanks for the support!

[@williambrooker2030]

Yes mate! Glad to hear the update and that you’re on the mend!! Best of luck with the race!!!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother!

[@HollyDunnDesign]

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother!!

[@jackpatton3835]

Had a very similar situation 4 weeks out from a marathon last year. The rest is good for you, you may get to race day feeling slightly out of shape, but you will feel very rested, good luck!

[@brodysearle]

Glad to hear you got it done!!

[@benhayes5162]

crush it next week💪 loved watching this whole series - finish strong but finish smart!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate! I agree finishing smart is probably a main priority here haha

[@anniebody123]

I've loved watching the vlogs! Best of luck to you!!

[@SaraAtassi]

best of luck, Body, very much looking forward to hearing how it goes. Hope you have fun and feel super proud of yourself :)

[@brodysearle]

Thanks so much!

[@joshuafoulds8107]

I can't believe how close you are to race day! I have loved joining you for the last 30 weeks. I know the knee is a bummer but I am super impressed with how far you have come. Winner for the random KZbin recommendation at the start of your journey. Good luck! p.s. that grass track is sick!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate

[@eshtein]

All the best for Port Mac & congrats on getting to the start line! I was hoping to be there but got injured 😢 hope the knee is ok & remember, you’ve got this!

[@brodysearle]

Ah no man!! That sucks :( thank you!

[@dizzy6593]

Love watching this while journey as it follows my timeline so close for my first Oly Tri on the 11th. Best of luck, so proud

[@brodysearle]

Thank you :) Best of luck to you as well!!

[@marcelkoornneef1289]

I enjoyed your vlogs/traject.. Enjoy the weekend the race.. . You have one exited support from the Netherlands.. . Enjoy the last 400 meter and the four magic words . Emotions in the last km, strong and smiling the finish

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother ❤️

[@BaileyEllis-ft2to]

I’ve been following along since your week 1 and it has been so inspiring! I am training for a half Ironman and I’m debating taking on a full one in Canada next year. Your journey is so motivating to watch and you seem like such a kind soul ! Wishing you the best for your race ❤

[@brodysearle]

Wow amazing!! You’ll crush it! Thank you ☺️

[@austinstephens9359]

Good Luck! You’ve got this shit, you’re going to crush it man

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother!

[@mattheaven2284]

Great work mate. You have done the hard yards, now to relax going into race week and the day will be what it will be. I will be particaracing (lol) after having covid 4 weeks out from race day, so going to be a hard day at the office for me as well. I hope to see you out there and say good day. Love the vlogs, keep up the great work. Cheers.

[@brodysearle]

I’ll be with you on that one mate! Thank you 😁

[@aeroxx]

Wish you good luck and thanks for sharing the whole journey with us 💪🙏 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@brodysearle]

No worries! Thanks for watching. :)

[@SCRUSEY]

Been following along close to the start, hopefully, you pull up good for race day. I've been starting to 3d print bottle cage spacers and mounts, if you're looking for a bit of a better set-up to change that bottle height, more than happy to try and get something done for port. Anyway, best of luck!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you!! Mate for sure hit me up!! I’d love to get it higher!! Haha

[@michaelchiller2494]

Good luck with the race!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you!

[@haurdahl]

Let’s goooo! You’ve done everything you can to get ready, now you just need to execute. Good luck bud, I’m confident you’ll crush it. Don’t forget to enjoy the whole experience. I hope you’ll do a race recap and lessons learned, I’m very much looking forward to seeing that. CRUSH IT! (Ps. Still not a fan of the tache 😂)

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!! Hahah the stache does bits that’s for sure.

[@noahsshow8153]

Good luck, Brody! Go well

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!!

[@RG-or3hu]

Good luck!!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you!!

[@ultracharis]

Worst case scenario, you could get a painkiller shot in your leg to just get through the ironman. Hope you feel better boss, cant wait for the post-race video, best of luck boss❤

[@brodysearle]

Thanks brother!! I actually recently had a cortisone shot but it didn’t help me out that much, which sucks. But hopefully we can push through :)

[@Jonybro32]

Doin an half iron man this october because of your vídeos!! Good luck 🎉

[@brodysearle]

Love it mate!

[@BrettJacobson-qx7hx]

Jamie Edwards will get you across the line. Great coach who knows his stuff. Got me over the line in my first Ironman.

[@brodysearle]

Great to hear mate!!! :)) Hope so!

[@BrettJacobson-qx7hx]

You will have plenty of support from JET on course and on socials on the day. Enjoy it and take it all in

[@amokr2148]

best of luck from france

[@brodysearle]

Amazing!! Thank you

[@buckley1991]

oh mate, I think you've convinced me to do an ironman myself. might start with a 70.3 first though 😅

[@brodysearle]

Probably smart 😅

[@badabitza]

Go smash it Brody! Rooting for you man 😀

[@pizzaman207]

He's Aussie "Rooting" means something totally different lol.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!!

[@brodysearle]

@pizzaman207 🤣

[@stevengtv]

I’m going to miss these Ironman training vlogs. You should get another swim analysis done with Effortless Swimming. It would be cool to see the progress.

[@brodysearle]

I’d be down to do another swim video with Brenton! Would be interesting seeing as I’ve nearly put on 20 seconds of my 100m time since then!

[@scottconnolly9356]

See you up there next weekend mate.

[@brodysearle]

Keen for it!

[@willbird3349]

Good luck for the race! I've got a mate doing his first at Port as well, so keen to watch you both. On the knee, have you and the sports doc discussed corticosteroid injection? As I'm sure you know, it won't do much for the underlying pathology but may help to reduce the pain enough for you to be confident going into the Ironman.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!! I actually recently had a cortisone injection with him as we were hoping for the same!! But unfortunately it didn’t help me out, which probably isn’t the best but we move on 😅

[@Joshua_23]

going into the unknown with the regards to the Full Marathon, hoping that your total volume beforehand and your constant cardio from swimming/bike are able to transfer over

[@brodysearle]

It is the unknown now, but we will get through it no matter the time 😁

[@PascalKwaks]

Good luck mate! Any plans for what's next? I got used to your weekly vlogs and I would miss them if they're gone forever. Maybe come do a European event. You can crash at my place to cut the travel costs.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!! I would love to do a European race if costs permits. Would love to do Austria, potentially in 2025!

[@PascalKwaks]

@@brodysearle Yeah me too. My ultimate goal is to do the Klagenfurt one in Austria, either in 2025 or 2026.

[@garrisons.fit.journey]

Let’s goo Brody! I have a race next week too! Goodluck bro!

[@brodysearle]

Thank you!! Good luck to yourself!

[@baileytuddenham1]

i rekon you need to take a spacer out of your bars to get the front lower

[@brodysearle]

Yeah I do but it takes ages to do as the cabling is integrated into the cockpit haha it’ll be taken out after the Ironman!

[@nkl6411]

Do you know which thru axle adapters you are using for the wahoo Kickr? I have the same bike with the same 12 speed csssette on both the bike and kickr. Thanks!

[@brodysearle]

Hey man! Not too sure, I’m actually not using a 12sp on the kickr, I never changed it from my 10sp roadie as I just use ergo mode on the kickr! I got my local bike shop to do that, I’ll need to change it to a 12sp soon though as well.

[@nkl6411]

@@brodysearle All good, thanks! I thought you might have 12 on both, I'm also from Melbourne so I thought I found someone local with the same issue 😅 My Kickr came with no cassette so I ended up buying the same Sram frehub and 12 spd cassette I have on the bike to avoid issues when swapping around, since I read a few things online, just a heads up. But the bike shop will probably know the best solution

[@jeeastham]

Hey Brody, have you tried Rapigel? Works wonders on sore joints and muscles

[@brodysearle]

Hey mate! I have, it doesn’t really help me too much. I’ve also tried voltaren gel night wrapping which also didn’t work for me too sadly 😅 Thank you though!!

[@rjTGaming]

Which model of running sunglasses are these?

[@brodysearle]

Oakley Radar EV Path I think they’re called!

[@andrewmetcalfe9898]

I’m loath to suggest this, but having had the experience of injuring myself 3 weeks out from an ironman (slipped down some stairs going to the pool, and stuffing my knee) is it worth considering transferring your IM entry from Port to Cairns, 6 weeks later? Probably not possible … but …

[@brodysearle]

It’s 100% wiser to do cairns but I’ll be doing port, not phased about the time!

[@andrewmetcalfe9898]

That’s the spirit: 3 weeks out, I’d just done my last long run as part of a brick (60km bike, 25km run) and was feeling great: on track for an Ironman PB (aiming for around 11 hours at what turned out to be the very last Ironman Australia held at Forster), but ended up with my Ironman personal worst (14:31). Oh well, lols. I got to walk about 11km in the dark with my wife & it was actually a pleasant night for a walk hehe.

[@joshuafoulds8107]

I'm trying to donate, but there are issues with the site recognizing my U.S. address. Can anyone help?

[@brodysearle]

Not sure man!!

[@mikebrundt6931]

Make a race week vlog🙌🏻💪🏻 Also consider trying a combo of paracetamol and ibuprofen on race day, to manage the pain. But maybe try it out a couple days out in training to see how the body reacts.

[@mikebrundt6931]

Oh wrote this before i saw the ending. Ye, focus on enjoying it.

[@brodysearle]

Thanks mate!! Trying to work through a pain plan, which sounds weird to say but needs to be done. Appreciate the support!

[@cdnnurse01]

What is your A race, Ironman or marathon, with your knee if Ironman is your A race then don't do the marathon, it isn't worth a life of soreness that won't allow you do compete in the future.

[@brodysearle]

Thank you! I will definitely be trying my best to finish smart rather than fast, as I have more races planned in future 😅
