About this listen

Operation Ironman follows George Mahood's hilarious and inspiring journey from a hospital bed to an Ironman triathlon. After major back surgery, George set himself the ultimate challenge:

  • A 2.4 mile swim
  • A 112 mile bike ride
  • And a 26.2 mile run
  • All to be completed within 16 hours

He couldn't swim more than a length of front crawl, he had never ridden a proper road bike, he had not run further than 10k in 18 months...and he had never worn Lycra.

He had four months to prepare.

Could he do it?

Really loved the book. it made me want to sign up to an Ironman or something similar! The narration was a bit grating though. Some of the voices made me feel a bit queazy, especially when the narrator speaks as the kids. Other than that I'd definitely recommend it!

Inspiring book - slightly annoying narration
