Incredibly well produced documentary from such a small creator! You have some real talent for video production. I did a sprint tri last October and am doing my first Olympic at the end of May. I've definitely been toying with the idea of doing a 70.3 and I think I'm convinced. I'm about 215lbs right now and I just keep imagining how much easier the running will be if I just lost 30lbs. You earned my sub for sure

[@chrisbrantley2276]

Thank you! My friend definitely is incredibly underrated! Definitely try out a 70.3! I appreciate the support!

[@jesswhite8087]

Dang brother, this was amazing. I did my first 70.3 in March after losing my Dad to Covid in 2020. I’m all in now, doing IM Arizona in November and not looking back.

[@anthonymitchell9337]

Yeah Chris! So proud of you! Go get it!

[@guimarega6935]

This is great man! Keep it up! Proud of you 🎉❤

[@dudefromlaveenaz]

Interesting to see. I started at 372, I do my first sprint tri in July, 362 days after starting my weight loss journey, and a few days after my 36th birthday, down 90lbs so far.

Dude, what a fantastic story. I am so very pleased you started this journey to health at such a young age. It took me till well into my 30's before realizing I was killing myself with food, but, I changed, and triathlon has become a huge part of my life. As for a full Ironman, don't let the dream die. Anything is possible. You CAN do it! I'm gonna be following you on insta because I want to see it happen. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@chrisbrantley2276]

I appreciate that so much! Thank you! I will no let that dream die! I WILL complete a full Ironman one day. This year, I actually plan to run a full marathon.

[@cremonaphoto]

@matt Oliver that makes two of us. Same age group, same problem, same solution -> triathlon. Keep pushing mate, even if i am still a tad behind you :D

[@AsherSmithFilms]

sheesh. this is very inspiring! what you said in the beginning about not needing to limit our goals by our current self or limitations…that’s a big paradigm shift for me.

[@austindecoteau2700]

This goes hard! I’m a hybrid athlete and I love to see this!!! Keep it up! 💪

[@roneymagno]

Great Job man! That's how real hero think! No matter what...just keep going!

[@BullMarketBusiness]

Hell Yeah dude this was awesome! Being a big Nick Bare fan it was cool to see your experience as he has motivated me to start my own triathlon journey. You got a new sub!

[@chrisbrantley2276]

I appreciate that bro! I plan to start putting more content out soon now that my wedding/honeymoon is over.

[@huynhbill8556]

I did a half myself recently. Wasn’t planning to do one again yet but after your video I am now deciding to more this year. Hopefully I will see you in the next IM!

[@christopheralanmoore315]

Thank you Chris! This was really helpful :)

[@rodrigoalkmim2449]

Great story and impeccable production. It served as inspiration for my first ironman 70.3. that will happen in Rio de Janeiro. Thanks! Greetings from Brazil!

[@timgwaltney4793]

Congratulations!!! Great story and well told……

[@DP-sh3nk]

Chris, what a wonderful film! Thanks for sharing your journey. Very vulnerable and real. Your transformation is very inspiring and I'm sure the lessons you've learned through it will serve you well as a husband and a member of your community. Hope to see you at a race someday!!

[@chrisbrantley2276]

Thank you! I greatly appreciate it!

Great job! on the vid and and the accomplishments, fantastic and indeed inspiring

[@mateocambon2230]

Always go one more bro!! Got my first marathon on Sunday. Lets do this!!!

[@germansoto2077]

Awesome great job I have done sprint triathlon and in June 5 I will do my first Olympic tri . Unfortunately I wanted to loose more weight but wasn’t disciplined. Hopefully for the Chicago marathon in October I could do that 👍

[@wnegrini]

Congrats!! Great motivational content!

[@david31013]

Amazing mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@eitanshushu]

like your consistency at the top

[@markgrenier6787]

Buddy I got to tell you this is my story I was never that heavy but I needed to lose weight and I did that P90x and that fired me up I'm proud of you good job

[@marcusmartensson]

Amazing story and editing 👌🏼 I just started my own journey to Ironman 70.3 in a way to stay disciplined and to get out of depression! I document the whole way on my channel ✌🏼

[@firasahmad6113]

Awesome accomplishment. I'm now preparing for the 70.3 in Antalya. It is a lot of work especially the swimming part. Looking forward to watch more of your videos. Consider the full Ironman, you can do it.

[@chrisbrantley2276]

I appreciate that! I do plan on a full before I’m 30 so the plan is in the next few years to get the full Ironman achievement.

[@julianafelix8808]

very good, mate! thankssss 👍🏼👊🏼

Time to make some more videos! This one was great!!

[@chrisbrantley2276]

I’m working on that 🚀

[@dc5394]

Good job!!!

[@HarishChouhan]

Inspiring story. I just started training for such an event.

[@chrisbrantley2276]

That’s awesome!

[@lulka117]

Great Ironman and fitness story. Just wanted to help you out by saying that you NEED to adjust your aero position on the bike. It was most likely the number one factor hindering your bike ride. It also looks extremely dangerous in terms of balance. I would say, move the seat closer towards the bar and get into a more aggressive position. You want your arms to be only slightly in front of your head. This will basically feel like cheating when you move from your old position to this one. I want to see you in more Ironmans, and hopefully I'll see you in person someday. Cheers!

[@TRIcoolbomb]

Yes good video... And I agree with your comment. Probably he needs a 1 or 2 size smaller bike. But if this is bike you have to work with, get the shortest steam possible you can find, and the seat in the most adv possible position would help. I think that it would help a lot on the leg pain it was described.

[@lulka117]

@@TRIcoolbomb I think that hemight actually need a slightly bigger bike. He's a pretty lengthy guy to begin with.

[@jonathonfreelove5321]

This was excellent

[@CelticsUnion]

Awesome video! Did you do a Bike Fit with a professional fitter? Could have maybe helped.. but congrats on pushing through!!

[@chrisbrantley2276]

No, unfortunately I didn’t. I had already spent so much on the race and gear that I didn’t want to spend the money. However, next time I definitely will seeing as how I think it would help me tremendously!

[@elsiebrantley1590]

So proud of you! So blessed to be your mom

You’re welcome!

music at the end is very good) 🙂

[@mohitmahna91]

I don't understand one thing, you went slow in your swim and switched between Freestyle and Breaststroke. How did you manage to finish in 30 mins!? Was it like a downstream or did you practice swimming that much?

[@mikes7654]

You said through all those dark periods::: I CAN !!! …and you did !!! 😃👍. See that FINISHERS Medal around your neck 😃👍. Do (1) full Ironman in your life …. At least (1) , so you can be part of the Elite club known as The Ironman Family . Remember, just (1). 😊👍. Congratulations on your race, and great video 👍

[@DLaTorre787]

Thanks bro

@@chrisbrantley2276 freaking awesome! Definitely a full to consider!!!

[@chrisbrantley2276]

Thanks! I plan on completing a full by the time I’m 30 is the goal!

Inspiring story, and a very respectable finishing time! Thumbs up for that.

I enjoyed your video. I know this is a few yeara old but if youre still doing triathlons get a smaller bike, that bike is waaaay too big for you

Well done Chris! And an awesome documentary too 👏🏻

Thanks, man!

[@chrisbrantley2276]

I appreciate you man!

[@Jaramirr]

This was cool to watch Chris! So much for the future announcement of qualifying at the Ironman in Hawaii, eh? How was your body after the Ironman? Did you suffer any severe DOMS afterwards?

[@chrisbrantley2276]

Thanks, man! I appreciate you! Haha… maybe one day 😅 My legs were 100% shot for at-least 3 days after. My hamstrings were probably the sorest of any muscle. The position on the bike also takes a toll on the lower back.. so that was the other thing that had me the most sore too.

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

is this guy wearing lips rouge?.....

[@chrisharmonyphotography6524]

It was an honor man! Thanks for letting me come along on this journey with you.
