The Comeback

Despite my recent Ozempic nightmare and near suicide (see my article “My Ozempic Nightmare“) I’ve decided to go ahead with my Ironman Ottawa attempt this August at age 70.

I don’t want to live with the regret of not trying although physically I still have a long way to go. I lost a lot of muscle while on the drug and my energy levels are still low but I need to give it a shot as I consider it unfinished business.

To make my Ironman attempt even more special I’m dedicating the race to our own Jonathan Clements. A former marathoner and current biker I thought he would be amused following my progress during the race.

Jonathan is a real Ironman if you ask me.

Best of luck! When I was in my 40’s I ran sprint triathlons. Never even considered a full IronMan. I like the dedication – both yours and the idea of including Jonathan in your motivation.
