I started following Nick Bare when Triathlon Taren mentioned him in a video. I gotta say, I was hugely skeptical of this guy’s chances of completing an Ironman but after watching his training series on his YouTube channel and seeing this results, I’m blown away.
He could barely swim in June, bought an entry level tri-bike and didn’t even know how to change a tire, but followed his training plan religiously and showed up ready. Anyone else impressed by this? Reminds me what really matters, consistency and fortitude.
Given, the conditions at IMFL were pretty favorable, still a huge accomplishment to go under 12 hours in your first triathlon.
Shows once more that training trumps equipment every time. I think he was actually coached by Triatlon Taren. If that is the case this is a good outcome for Taren as well.
Dude ran a 5:3x all-out mile a few weeks ago at 200+ lbs bodyweight on the track, it’s on youtube.
He does look awfully superbuff to me though, having lifted quite a lot myself, I do wonder if there is physiological x-over and that’s ALL I’m going to say about that!
He did sound like he trained legit for the IM, but yeah, that’s a heckuva a 1st try.

I followed almost his entire Triathlon training series. Better than a lot of other things out there. I’ll give it to the guy, he set a goal, and accomplished it. He also has a pretty fantastic drive. I was watching him live on the Ironman app during the IMFL day.
Also, can’t believe his nutrition plan held up. He barely had a plan a few weeks out. During some of his videos he was drinking gatorade zero. Although he did 10,000 calorie challenge fasted so maybe he’s pretty fat adapted. Just unbelievable to me.

I actually do the same thing. But not for the same reasons as him. I just prefer to get my carbs through clean sources and not pure sugar.
He was one rack over from me and I didn’t realize he was Nick Bare until people started going up to him and asking for pictures. Extremely genuine and nice guy, he talked to every single person I saw go up to him. Especially considering it was his first Ironman, it was my first as well and I was a nervous wreck running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I wouldn’t be able to interact with dozens of people while trying to get my final prep in

Wait what’s wrong with Gatorade Zero? It has zero sugar/calories. I’ve switched over to that a couple of months ago and I’m feeling great and managed to keep sugar cravings at bay with it

He did sound like he trained legit for the IM, but yeah, that’s a heckuva a 1st try.
Looking at pics of him on the net there is no doubt he is chemically enhanced…

Why don’t you follow his history on YouTube before you bash him for steroids…cmon man you’d be surprised what people can attain aesthetically when bodybuilding and lifting consistently for 10 years. Don’t be jealous

I don’t care what his history is, as someone who has been involved in BB for many years I have a pretty good idea of what natural looks like.

Well same here being involved in and also competing in bodybuilding…but you “don’t care what his history is,†so there ya go lol. Hell, you’d prob think I’m on the juice too ha
This is only meaningful if you add his height. I went sub 12 at 220 lbs and sub 10 around 190-195 lbs, but I’m also 6’3". It makes a big difference. If he looks like that at 195, he must be very short.
He’s very annoying. But that’s a pretty good time.
WHAT?
This guys annoying but Sander’s isn’t. Give me a break. Now if you said taren is annoying I would agree. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t thinking he would go under 12 but come on.
