I'm Here To Win

A World Champion's Advice for Peak Performance

By: Chris McCormack, Tim Vandehey

Narrated by: Howard Brunner, Chris McCormack

In I'M HERE TO WIN, Chris "Macca" McCormack opens his playbook and reveals everything it takes-mind, body, and spirit-to become a champion. Now he shares the story of his triumphs and the never-say-die dedication that has made him the world's most successful triathlete.

In 2010, at the age of 37, Macca beat the odds and won the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii for a second time in what many called the most dramatic finish in the race's history. Macca's journey to athletic greatness is more than just one of physical perseverance. After coming in fourth in Hawaii in 2009, Macca returned to the island on a mission: He was there to win. A game plan containing a new strategic approach to winning brought him first across the finish line.

Chris McCormack has dedicated his life to training for-and winning-the Ironman Hawaii, one of the most grueling tests of mental and physical endurance in the world. The race challenges athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full marathon, 26.2 miles, using all their strength and willpower to overcome the incredibly harsh conditions.

In I'M HERE TO WIN Macca provides concrete training advice for everyone-from weekend warriors who casually compete to seasoned veterans who race every week to armchair athletes looking for an extra push-and provides insight into the mind of a great champion with excitement and inspiration at every turn.

I'M HERE TO WIN is also available as an enhanced e-book with embedded video and audio.

Fantastic. Worth Listening/Reading

Highly recommend. His personality and mindset which are key in his success come out in the book, helpful and practical for anyone looking to become an expert at anything.

The other side of Chris McCormack

I've always liked Macca. I know he was portrayed as being rude and egotistical but in this book you see the why behind it. Macca spoke at my first half Ironman in New Orleans. It was then I knew he wasnt how he was portrayed. There are some training tips but this is definitely not that kind of book. This book is perfect for the Macca fan or for someone who wants to have a glimpse into the other side of professional triathletes. The narrator was pleasant and easy to understand. I have more respect now for Macca than I ever have after hearing his story. LOVE IT!

Excellent

This a must read book to whom loves triathlon. Very good life experience and tips sharing, helping to understand and avoid error in the triathlon path.

awesome and inspiring I listen time and time again

so grateful for those who take the time and commitment to writing their story. . so much to relate to and learn from. It's a growing experience. thank you Chris McCormack for sharing your story

Great for triathlete

Being an age grouper that loves the sport this was a great book with good nuggets of information. Not a how to but a life story of a pro triathlete. Puts perspective to how hard they work and what it takes to get to that level. I will stick to age group events and know my limits.

The good is perspective and hints from a pro that has had ups and downs in the sport

The bad is listening to the ego. Not that he didn't deserve it but sometimes it's overwhelming. It is his story and he is not humble. He is a pro and he lets you know.

Great book and great story.
