Ironstruck: The Ironman Triathlon Journey

Thinking about doing your first Ironman?

Every Ironman journey begins with a dream—and the belief that something extraordinary might be possible.

Ironstruck is an inspirational, motivational, and common-sense guide for anyone preparing to take on the Ironman Triathlon. Whether you're contemplating your first Ironman or preparing for another finish line, this book offers practical training and racing insights, personal experiences, and encouragement to help you make the most of your journey.

Written by an athlete who has completed 11 Ironman triathlons and 35 marathons, Ironstruck goes beyond training schedules and race-day strategies. It explores the mindset, determination, and personal transformation that make the Ironman experience unforgettable.

This revised and updated 2026 edition includes chapters such as Seniors, a New Breed of Warrior, Mindset of a Winner, Defining an Ironman, The Sleepy Ironman Syndrome, Minimal Ironman Training, The Ironman Death March, and Negative Split Strategy, along with many more insights into the Ironman journey.

You don't have to be an extraordinary athlete to begin. Sometimes the journey itself helps you become one.

Become more than you ever thought possible.
