“…George's books just keep getting better…”
“…laugh out loud funny (note to self, don't read it on the tube)…”
“…it won't fail to entertain, enthral and motivate…”
“…hilarious and heart-warming…”
“…inspiring, poignant and humorous…”
“…I laughed, I cried, and am proud of a man I have never met…”
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?
