Can't Swim, Can't Ride, Can't Run

From Common Man to Ironman

By: Andy Holgate

Narrated by: Gregory St. John

Shortlisted for Best New Writer of the Year - The British Sports Book Awards 2012

This book is both a lesson in true grit and determination, but its goal is one that is attainable. Andy isn't a sporting superstar, he holds down a nine-to-five job and all the pressures that go with it; he isn’t blessed with speed and talent; there are no multi-million pound sponsorship deals; yet this remarkable "common man" is inspiring in a way that some of today’s sporting superstars have forgotten how to be. You wouldn’t recognize Andy in the street, yet his story provides valuable lessons to us all: "Never give up" and "Anything is possible".

great, fun, motivational !

this is a really great book. I ran my first full Marathon this year and the world's toughest Mudder. I listen to this book to give me continued motivation and encouragement. it certainly did that!

Inspirational

This audiobook is truly inspirational for anyone getting started with triathlon. Very honest and motivating.

Great tale of reaching for goals.

Any additional comments?

I am a fan of triathlon, and Ironman (long course) triathlon in particular, and I love reading how others find themselves pursuing the sport. This author and competitor regales us with tales of the sport, how he came to participate, and how and why he continues. He does so with engaging humor and humility. I know he has one other book about his continuation in the sport; hoping that one comes out in audio (it's not available on Audible at this point - Sept 2017) but I'll read it in print if I have to! Great stories!

truly an incredible journey

this was a fabulous inspiration. just what I needed to get back OFF the couch.

Fun book, very inspiring!!

Andy was a very unlikely Iron Man. England an inhospitable place to train! His tales are harrowing!!
