The Day I Became an IRONMAN

I've never been more proud of people I've never met. Lekker bezig boys! <3

I love how rob was consistently saying "everyone is so nice" and Arno is like "there was a lot of fighting" "someone pulled my leg" "someone farted in my face"

They way they kept asking about eachother was honestly so sweet

Best video I've seen all year!! Cried so hard when you guys finished. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment!!!!

How Rob cares and asks all the time for his brother speaks a lot about him. So proud of you 👏🎉

Im literally in tears. Wtf. Never felt so happy for strangers. You guys are inspirational.

I have always admired Ironmen. The first time I watched this video was 4 months ago, and it convinced me to immediately sign up for one myself. I am now 12 weeks into training, and I am doing my Ironman in June 2024. I love coming back to this video and watching you finish, as it is truly magnificent and emotional. Thank you Rob and Arno for inspiring me to embark on my own journey towards (hopefully) being an Ironman. Congratulations! Cheers from Denmark.

I heard you were being called out when I was waiting for my start and found you this way! It was my first Ironman, too and you captured the emotions so so so well. I didn't bring my filming crew ;) but I'm so thankful that you did and I can go back and look at this video and feel all the emotions again! congrats ironman!

I guess I'm not the only one with tears in his eyes! The brotherly love, the sportsmanship, everything was beautifully done! Well done brothers!

This is soooo legendary!!! Huge respect for this journey, you guys killed it!! Enjoyed every episode of it!!

Discovered this channel today, and somehow got me to cry for the accomplishments of these 2 brothers ive never even seen before today.

The love between Rob and Arno is so strong. No one could break it! Huge respect!

They did it! ❤ So proud of you guys! Why am I crying rn?

I am the only one that wanted to cry so many times during this video? My eyes are watering up constantly... So much love and dedication! We are all so proud for you! Greetings from a Croat living in Germany that follows two epic Belgian guys!

I have had a lot of success in triathlon and racing and do not see much worth learning from the majority of videos on YouTube. I’ve seen and read every expert talk about every little thing about triathlon and listened to every motivational speaker, yet none of them can match Rob and Arno in this video. They show the excitement, the fear, the optimism, the doubt, the hard work, the laughs, the tears, the pain, and the joy. This is the real story of what racing is all about and should be essential viewing for anyone looking to give racing a try. Instead of some “experts” telling you what to do, watch these two - I do before every single race to keep it real.

The spectators are amazing, the amount of energy they share with the participants is crazy !! instant boost !

Rob, Arno...YOU ARE AN IRONMAN! What an amazing video that captures the true IRONMAN spirit. Congratulations to you both on your amazing achievements, enjoy the recovery and we'll see you soon!

Beyond proud of both of you. Such an inspiration! And Milan, incredible work with the video. This was beautiful

The first thing they did was always asking about his brother. Wow. Truly inspiring. Enjoyed EVERY SINGLE SECOND of the series

I'm currently watching the video about 50 times. Whenever I'm indoors on my bike, this video is the biggest motivation for me. I've currently gone from 15KM at the beginning to 60KM, which I can now ride. Thank you both for the inspiration. And hopefully I'll see you at an Ironman next year! On met la patate!!!
