What happens when motivation disappears — and you decide to act anyway?
One Foot in Front of the Other is a reflective memoir about attempting something difficult, not to prove anything, but to understand what effort does to us over time.
Beginning on a cold, grey day in the fall of 2020, the author sets out — in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic — to become a triathlete, despite having little experience in swimming, cycling, or endurance running. Over the course of a year, he trains for and races three Ironman 70.3 events, navigating desert heat, open-water fear, awkward transitions, and the steep learning curve of a sport he does not yet feel entitled to claim.
Told with self-deprecating humour and honesty, this is not a book about optimization or peak performance. It's about starting from where you are, learning in public, and discovering that effort can be a way back to yourself — not a way to outrun who you've been.
Whether your own challenges involve sport, work, identity, or simply finding the courage to begin again, this book offers a companionable, unscripted look at what it means to keep going when certainty is unavailable.
