Synopsis

Not Normal Behaviour

Becoming an Ironman: 20th Anniversary Edition

Bored with his somewhat conventional lifestyle and frustrated at merely reading about the adventures of others, Stuart set himself the challenge of taking part in one of sport’s most gruelling events; an Ironman.

With little experience in the world of triathlon, the challenge was huge – to swim 2.4 miles, cycle 112 miles and then run a marathon seemed a ridiculous thing to do. But then it beat weekend suburban landscape gardening projects.

Despite countless setbacks, injuries, the weather, his own naivety and downright stupidity, Stuart fought his way to the start line of his first Ironman.

Not Normal Behaviour is the personal and often funny account of his inspirational journey; the highs and lows, the lessons learned, the sheer determination required and the roller-coaster ride he took to becoming an Ironman. This book is about turning the volume up on life and single-mindedly setting out to achieve the perceived impossible.
