For the past 4 years Matt has put 'Completing a Half Ironman' on his list of biggest goals. But he's always put it off due to fear and procrastination. Until now, where, along with his friend Conor, he overcomes endless doubt, fear, uncertainty and lack of training to go compete head on in a race that once seemed impossible to him...all with only 30 days of training.

Yes Theory I love your channel
Wanna run a 100 mile race with me?
Yes Theory i y
A year ago on Thanksgiving Day my older cousin ran a 5K known as, "Turkey Trot." This race was a thing on his resolution to finish before the year was over. On that same day last year he asked that one from his two sisters and/or my brother and I to run in the Turkey Trot with him in 2018. Knowing me and the idea I keep close about, "Putting your words to action." I decided that same day I would do the Turkey Trot with my cousin in 2018. Sure enough on November 18th, 2018 I made the ultimate decision that there was no turning back. Even though I haven't trained AT ALL compared to him. I ran the turkey trot. I placed 94 of 139 Females in my age group. Not only would I like to thank my cousin, family, and supporters. I'd like to thank Yes Theory for motivating me that even if I feel like the world is saying I CAN'T do it or I WON'T make it. There is just an apostrophe separating what we have yet to discover.
Yes Theory yes theory is like a real life walter mitty
Ammar running with donuts struggling to keep up 😂😂😂😂
I want to seek discomfort!!!!!!
So much about this is powerful but you guys are amazing
Matt this was a huge inspiration to me and I hope to do the same some day. Since this came out I have been really trying to get back in shape, thanks.
I decided that i will now head to the gym
can someone please tell me what’s playing at 16:15
That’s so crazy!!! That’s my hometown Imperial Beach ,Ca!!!
you guys really need better tshirt designs like for real
Buddy my grandma has done two full iron men no bs
truely inspiring
Connor and Matt: you guys are legends!
I would've been done at the sea tho lol
Although the video of Amar doing a marathon inspired me and my mom agreed to run with me lol
I started crying when they crossed the finish line 😭😭
You know what guys? Ever since i started running, i wanted to do some kind of race...and i think you inspired me to, "tomorrow"(today, its 1 am), when I wake up, i will sign up for a half marathon...
My dad did this in our home island and they call it a granite man but on the day it was poring with rain it wasn’t that bad
I fucking love this channel. SO MUCH.
You guys are AMAZING.
Next time hit up @caseyneistat. He is really, really experienced in this. But probably like a month before the race, not...4 days :O)
Even though - fuck that, you've rocked this the first time.
Since I was 10 I've been doing (kid) triathlons, I've always loved it and trained for hard for every competitions but last I suddenly became very ill and lost all my muscle, stamina and sadly motivation in the span of a few months. Since then it's been so hard keeping myself motivated, but this video reminded me to keep going, thanks so much for this.
I am so grateful to have found this channel and amazing community!
Ha my dad did a iroman to exept full ironman
@Dream of living life 🔥 @YesTheory
Best Channel on YouTube
*The fire fighter is a monster*
Lowkey I would be fine on the bike part but I would die on the running and the swimming
I’m currently binging all Yes Theory videos and none other has given me as much inspiration as this. Thank you ❤️
was this done in san diego , cause i coulda sworn that this was at IB 10 min away from my house.
This is now on my bucket list
14:06 on my bike trip I went with my class my teacher told me something that his old teacher told him something. right after we went up this long hill that there’s going to be a voice in your head. Think of him as a little man in your head telling you to “relax it doesn’t matter if you finish this, just relax and forget about it no body will get mad at you for giving up” and do you know what my teacher said. He said to grab that little man and put him between your shoulder blades and CRUSH THE LITTLE MAN, grab the little man and put him on the front of your tire and run him over, over and over again, to make the little man quiet.
I subscribed to this channel when I thought it was just some laid back west coast guys filming themselves as they'd go into haunted/abandoned buildings. Thank you for being a channel that is so much more than my initial simple impression! You guys are truly inspiring. And I can't wait for opportunities to seek discomfort in 2019 and beyond!
I love all your vids and your absolute amazing attitude
Hey Yes Theory u alive m8
6:40 David Goggins is my hero, I recommend his book to anyone who wants to push their full potential
What is the name of the song on the end?
Watching this while sat on my bed, eating a cheesecake...
🙌
love this
Ammar is a LEGEND!!!
should’ve called david goggins
you guys... this is like the 10th video I've watched tonight/morning and they are all so good, The challenges, the motivation, the drive, the acceptance, you are all people who embody what it means to be truly human, keep going for goals, keep pushing yourself because you in doing so, motivate everyone who watches your video's to improve, to push, to become better than who they are and who they think they are. thank you for all the motivation you have given me to achieve my dreams.
the only discomfort i seek is the one you feel after eating too much food... oops
No offense but my teacher did better than u 😂
Joseph G. What does that even mean
My mom has actually done the full Iron man and she finished and I finished the Kids Iron Man at 9
I got nervous just watching this
I have wanted to do a triathlon for a while. And I just signed up for one, partly because of this video. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is really. Awesome.
Please make seek discomfort cheaper. Being from the third world, I simply can’t afford something like that in dollars.
