Summary
As the winner of the 2010 Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii, Chris "Macca" McCormack may be the world's greatest athlete. In I'm Here to Win, McCormack shares his story, along with training tips and practical advice to help listeners develop their own routines, diet, exercise programs, and race strategies.
Chris McCormack has dedicated his life to training for - and winning - the Ironman World Championships, one of the most grueling tests of mental and physical endurance in the world. The race challenges athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full marathon of 26.2 miles, all while battling harsh conditions and their own willpower. In 2010, McCormack won the Ironman World Championship for the second time at 37 years old - a testament to his fitness and endurance.
Macca's journey to athletic greatness is more than just one of physical perseverance. After coming in fourth in Hawaii last year, Macca returned to the island chanting, "I'm here to win!" He had a new mental game plan in place that brought him first across the finish line.
In this much-anticipated book, Macca shares his playbook and reveals everything it takes - mind, body, and spirit - to become a champion.
In addition to his Ironman wins in Hawaii, Macca holds the record for the most triathlon race wins ever and it's his winning strategies and mindset that he now brings to the listener in I'm Here to Win.
For weekend warriors who casually compete to seasoned veterans who race every weekend, armchair athletes looking for an extra push, and everyone in between,I'm Here to Win provides riveting insight into the mind of a great champion with excitement and inspiration in every minute.

Fascinating Insight, but not everyone's cup of tea
What made the experience of listening to I'm Here to Win the most enjoyable?
Getting an insight into the psychology and mind games that are employed at the elite level of Triathlon - McCormack has developed into a master in this. However he IS brash and cocky despite what he protests.... but there is great purpose to the image that he portrays (and it is his personality).
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I definitely felt there with him as he described his wins in Kona.
Any additional comments?
There are random and unnecessary "season stats" at the end of each chapter - not really useful or necessary, and should have been compiled into a few appendices at the end.

Fantastic Ironman-specific read
Brilliant book.
So many “Winsights”, tangible takeaways, practical advice and an awe-inspiring story.
Didn’t know much about Macca prior to this but the book/audible was recommended by a tri-club-mate.
This is one of the best triathlon, and, even better, Ironman-specific books I’ve ever consumed.
The Kona insights in particular are valuable..!
