I thought that one day I would do it and completely forgot about the event until July 2012 when by chance I bumped into an Ironman veteran and saw a once in a lifetime opportunity staring me in the face.\u003cp\u003eIn my memoir Long Distance Triathlon Memoir - How I Became a Man of Iron with 11 Months training I described how I went from a complete novice to \u003cbr\u003eIronman and completed my first Ironman in Klagenfurt in July 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat book ends with me finishing Klagenfurt safely and deciding I wanted to enter another Ironman event the following year Ironman Frankfurt.
