Andy Holgate, an overweight librarian who can't swim or ride a bike and suffers from bad knees, decides to complete an Ironman: 3.8 km of swimming, 180 km of cycling and 42 km of running. Between punctures, hospitals and a peculiar bachelor party, he recounts his preparation with humor, and his wedding awaits him a week after the race.
