We've done it! Seven months of training, learning to swim, bike, and run to try and complete our first full Ironman. I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who supported me throughout this journey - whether it's my parents, Shawn, my brother, or many others. Your encouragement meant the world to me. And to those who donated and backed T2KO, your generosity is truly appreciated. Donations are still open until the end of June 2024 in aiming for our $10,000 goal. So if you feel inclined to contribute, your support would be welcomed. Thank you all for being a part of this incredible experience!

    We all were waiting for that episode since your very first video on that channel. Well done Mate !
  • @noahsshow8153
    I don't think you'll ever truly realise the impact this series of videos has had on me and so many others! You should be incredibly proud of this achievement, especially after everything you went through with your knee and the issues on race day. Thank you for sharing this journey, I really hope it isn't the end of the channel. Congrats!
  • “Dad of two guinea pigs” may be my favorite part of this video lol
  • Amazing mate. Be proud of yourself. You’re an Ironman. And you’re a gentleman, I ran past you and you were nice enough to give me a compliment that I was running well, and then realised it was you!
  • @fpvkauai
    Been waiting on this video. I have my first half ironman coming up in 9 days and super excited !
  • Well done mate, such an achievement. I travelled alone from Europe to race this, such an awesome day but was extremely tough without any friends or family with me.
  • @liisarautio2824
    I'm so proud of you! Thank you for taking me on this journey with you. I will be making a donation to T2KO because of you. Just a side note, when I saw your interview with Average Rob, I thought he was an Ironman pro! Then I started following him to realize he's also a newbie of all things athletic -- except for swimming!
  • @monikaczng
    I've got my popcorn and tissues ready ❤so excited to see all your hard work pay off! And before I even watch the video (premieres in 1H), let me just say, congratulations on your amazing achievement, no matter the result!
  • @lachlanearnshaw
    Incredible mate! Its been great to follow along and spend some time together up at port Mac. You should be so proud of yourself, for the race and for the huge lead up, so much work and you’ve come so far! A massive achievement (especially with all the adversity) and the first step of a massive journey. I’m looking forward to whatever you do next and hope to be able to support every step of the way! Proud of you mate, great job!
  • People watching you from all around the world 🎉🎉🎉you did it, Brody !! And we feel blessed to have had a chance to follow your journey 🍾🍾🍾🎉🎉
  • @ShawnIsBatman
    I have watched your journey from here in the US from the beginning. It has been an absolutely privilege to be able to share a small part of your journey online. Thank you for the courage to share your experiences and the message of T2KO.
  • @akw7504
    Congratulations! What an accomplishment! It has been a joy watching you go through your training and having such a positive attitude. I know the end wasn’t what you wanted it to be but 1) you’re recovering from injury, 2) you had electrolyte issues, and 3) this was your first race! You went from doing no cardio in 5 years to becoming an Ironman! Wow! You deserve some grace. Be gentle and kind to yourself. Keep up the positivity! We’ll be here.
  • @MultiverseWizard
    Huge congrats man! You did it! Been here since day 1, happy for you and at the same time sad that the weekly videos are over now.. Hopefully, you'll continue making videos!
  • @leonbsl1228
    Sometimes things doesn’t play out the way you wanted. But look at you! You’re an Ironman! Bless!
  • COULDNT BE PROUDER OF YOU BROTHER! Thanks for taking us on this journey with you and spreading awareness not only for T2KO but highlighting the importance of mental fitness and a supportive inner circle. Cant wait to see whats next x
  • @dizzy6593
    I'm not crying, you're crying 🥲. Well done Brody, so glad I stumbled across this channel - what you're disappointed at now will be something you speak of with pride in the years to come!
  • @kjelldanao
    "Keep fighting and refuse to give up." Well done Brody, you did exactly that! 🙌🏼
  • Thank you for sharing a genuinely transparent experience! Most people say bike is the easy part but that's the part which requires the most planning for fueling after a swim and for the run. It is great to see someone enjoying transitions and the moments with their loved ones rather than conforming to the clock. I've been nervous about my first 70.3 in 4 weeks but this video has been very comforting :)
  • @BartvandeLoo
