Never, Ever Give Up?' explores the motivation that kept Hellemans going back for more and that saw him completing the gruelling Hawaii Ironman in searing heat at the age of 60. Less than two years later, he suffered an exercise-induced cardiac event after a local cross-country run. Was his body telling him that it was time to give up?
Dr John Hellemans has combined his triathlon activities with a medical career since immigrating to New Zealand from Holland in 1978. John coaches at the Canterbury Triathlon Academy and advises the national High Performance Programme. He lives in Christchurch where he continues to practise sports medicine.
