In April 2016, Nasser Al Mohannadi became the first Qatari to successfully finish the Ironman. He swam 3.8 km, cycled 180 km, and ran 42.2 km, in one of the most difficult "Iron Man" races in the world. A childhood dream that came true after 28 years of preparation and exercises. In this book, Al Mohannadi tells us how he overcame childhood fears, cultural misunderstandings, and physical injuries to reach his goal, and how, with careful planning, persistence, and learning from mistakes, he accomplished what seemed impossible.
