    Loved it! As a 10x IM finisher - but with only a 360kg total myself, I can dig the whole project and I think you killed it! I can relate to upchucking on the run too. LOL Flat coke, P-bar and banana is my go-to for the last 10k also. First rate effort, Fergus. Well done!

    Such a beast! Love the effort and the honesty. I also appreciate hearing the self harm openness, I find if I don't train hard that darkness creeps up and pulls me under without much notice. Hearing that others have experience of it takes a bit of the shame away.

    Congratulations!!! I totally appreciate your accomplishment … I used to lift 6x/week and was pretty strong, but then I got into triathlon. I’ve done 8 Ironman races. Anyway, the point I’m making is that I’ve had to let the strength training go. I still lift occasionally but I’m nowhere near as strong. The two are simply not compatible. What you did is thoroughly impressive … Ironman endurance training while maintaining impressive strength. Great accomplishment and great video💪🏻

    Just watched this and well done. Always interesting to watch others having a go and pushing themselves just for the fun of it. Different circumstances of course (and much less pimpy kit) but you have recently inspired me to go a little further like a 25km run without specific training (worse after than during) and a 5k PB at the track. Maybe another DIY half IM but our local pool is shut dammit! Plus et en vous que vous pense!

You've shown and inspired me that doing both is possible! :)

      Will do. My powerlifting totals are the same as yours.
      Last comp I did 184kg squat. 131 kg bench and 231 kg deadlift. The deadlift and total were both national records. That is for 63 year old lifter at 96kg. My cycling is OK. I did a 100k ride last year. Running sort of ok. Swimming shit. My goal next year is the world deadlift record. It's 265 kg atm. I'm also going to give the bench record my best too. I only started training 3 years ago. 61 .
      So thanks for that upload. I really enjoyed seeing what you can do!
      All the best

    Very strong performance, very inspiring! As an ex powerlifter and now duatlete i can relate. You have to do some strenght training for triatlon, but no triathlon for powerlifting. 😉 Like you say 600 kg rested and tapered in powerlifting and I think an hour faster or more in triathlon when only focused on that. Congrats!
