But in less than 12 months, through patience, determination, and trusting the training process, he was able to confidently deal with everything the day threw at him - including rough sea conditions, jellyfish, and bad weather. Hear Allun's firsthand account of the training process and progression of a complete beginner, mastering race-day strategies, dealing with injuries, and the importance of mental resilience. If you're new to triathlon and have your sights set on one day tackling Ironman, you'll want to tune in to hear Alan’s remarkable journey from a complete novice to an Ironman finisher at one of the toughest Ironman races in the world.
