FROM THE EDITOR

How to do you focus your mind? It’s a question I’m asking myself as we put this issue together, prompted by a series of features that show triathletes using a whole lot of willpower and hard training to reach impressive goals. From our cover star John McAvoy, who after transforming his life once already (his well-publicised prison to Ironman story), then moved to the Alps and now advocates for making the most of the one life you are given, focussed around fresh air, mountains and sport. We’ve also got a guide to qualifying for Kona, the writer of which took on the Brutal in this month’s big race report (a triathlon that includes Snowdon? Now that requires a strong mindset!). As we look ahead to 2023, it’s time to get focussed. What will you achieve?
