I loved [b:Free Country: A Penniless Adventure the Length of Britain|15749759|Free Country A Penniless Adventure the Length of Britain|George Mahood|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1342700880l/15749759.SX50.jpg|21443080] as an adventure book. This story was a more serious one, although written in the same kind of light-hearted tone as Free Country. Completing the ironman triathlon in itself four months from being in an operation is an amazing feat and the whole story is entertaining and funny with a very serious undertone. The book made me laugh and it made me cry, so what's not to like.

The story of his friend who just made the ironman made me even more emotional than the author himself finishing the ironman.
