28 January 2002 Things have never been the same since then and things will never be the same again. It wasn’t just my bike and I that took a horrendous tumble. My whole life followed in their wake. I have always lived at high speed. Citius, altius, fortius. Faster, higher, quicker. Do everything and try everything. Don’t miss a thing! Life! Onwards to the top, to a podium finish, the highest podium in the Ironman in Hawaii… Until that day…
Is my life worse now or better? I can’t answer that. Everything is different, nothing is what it used to be… Or is it?
In his second book, Marc Herremans proves that a broken back doesn’t have to mean a broken life. He recounts the captivating story of the last four years of his life. A story of falling over and standing up again, of success and despair. The story of the long road to realising his ultimate dream, long before his accident; to win the Ironman in Hawaii.
