Description
Accidental Ironman is a humorous and entertaining memoir about one athlete's journey from being last pick at school football to completing 10 Ironmans outside the top 500 finishers.
The author recounts his sporting history, including how he took up triathlons for a bet, overcame a lack of talent and indifference from his family to achieve remarkable success, and shares stories of his many adventures in the sport, including cow pats, broken bones, and public nudity.
Along the way, he reveals how triathlons led him to make significant lifestyle changes, including selling his Mercedes, giving away his expensive suit, and becoming a "god-damned hippy" - a cycle path designer who owns a camper van.
