i saw an FB post that said he’d done 100…i guess he’d getting the marketing done early…
Saw a pic of him leaving the pool this week. Is it me, or does he look very muscular for someone doing this amount of aerobic exercise for nearly 100 days?
Is the pic photoshopped, is he on something, or possibly both.
I think all of us triathletes look like that 
. Is it just you who thinks this is special?

In my ‘world’, there are two types of special.

Agree - he must be in a hell of a calorie deficit after nearly 100 days

Perhaps he was a right lardy bastard beforehand…

I am not ironcowboy junkie BUT why do you say he “must be on something”
what evidence have you got and whats he on
I know it’s wrong, but the first thing that came into my head was:
When he started off, I thought he had no chance. It’s a huge & bizarre challenge & looks like he’s actually going to do it.

Because it’s possible he is, if the photo is genuine. Technically it’s not outlawed for this sort of thing anyway is it? He’s not under the auspices of USADA. His general approach to recovery is an indication of his attitude toward traditional anti doping regulations. His physical appearance after nearly 100 days of this is not concomitant with normal physiology of extreme endurance exercise.
Or, like I said it could be hugely photoshopped for the purpose of his image/ego. Either way, I’m not saying he’s a cheat. I’m just saying it’s not ‘normal’.
So it’s just your opinion
“Is he on something” indicates it’s a question, based on an opinion
If you can show me another person who’s done a physical endeavour akin to this, that has a physique like that when it’s over, then I would be interested to see it.
Also remembering it’s the age of social media and influencing; so it could be completely photoshopped 💁

Probably not like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 4.
In his book, The Art of Resilience, he mentioned quite a few times that his body changed shape a bit and he felt quite a bit ‘fatter’. To the point he was struggling to get his wetsuit on.
Who’s the dirty vegan?
Dirty Sanchez, aka Matt Pritchard… extreme TV personality from the 90’s/2k’s, who did some truly crazy stuff… actually a complete psycho. Now totally reformed, and a vegan triathlete. Good friends with a mate of mine, and seems like quite a decent bloke really, despite the reputation!

I don’t know why @Jorgan says that but I saw his film the last time around and he didn’t look anything like that. As “natty or not” might say, someone doesn’t just become really cut in a year without help.
But I am biased. I think he’s a twat, so I’ll tend to support anything negative said about him.

That’s bringing back memories. That programme was Jackass on steroids. Like you say, they just did some truly crazy shit.
In reality there was probably only two options for those guys…complete transformation like you’ve indicated, or early death!
