George Mahood

Is running a marathon with your partner a wise idea?

What about taking part in a triathlon together?

George is about to find out as he and his wife Rachel put their marriage to the test. 

Now settled into life in Devon with their three children, they try to encourage a more active family lifestyle with camping holidays, family bike rides, hill-walking, and canoe trips. But things rarely go smoothly.

Meanwhile, George continues to set himself ridiculous challenges. Having been a complete novice swimmer only a year earlier, he decides to confront his incompetence head-on.

By signing up for a 10km swim.

How hard can it be?

Anyone reading George’s books hoping for useful training tips for their own adventures and challenges might be disappointed. His training methods and pre-race preparations are unconventional and perhaps not recommended, but there might be some nuggets of unintentional wisdom amongst the chaos.

Did Not Finish is a series of books about George and his family’s adventures in running, cycling, and swimming. From ultramarathons to triathlons, 10k swims to European cycling adventures, George promises fun and laughter every step, pedal, and paddle of the way.

Did Not Finish: Misadventures in Running, Cycling and Swimming

After signing his wife Rachel up for her first marathon without her knowledge and living to tell the tale, George is now struggling to keep up with her. He risks her wrath once again by entering her into a half-Ironman triathlon against her will: a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run.

Did Not Try sees George and Rachel travel to Barcelona, Cornwall and the Cotswolds, and helps answer the age-old question: what happens when you are bursting for a wee while riding your bike, but an injured ankle means you can’t unclip your cycling shoes?

Did Not Try: Misadventures in Running, Cycling and Swimming

Rachel marks her cycling sportive debut in style with 110 horrendously hilly miles that are apparently all George’s fault.

Now officially a better marathon runner than George - and a rapidly improving cyclist and swimmer – Rachel is pushed to the limits after reluctantly agreeing to an ultramarathon.

Did Not Start also features more family camping holidays, a visit to Paris, the arrival of the Beast from the East, and some unexpected news from a former neighbour.

Did Not Start: Misadventures in Running, Cycling and Swimming

The lure of a gold-coloured silicon hat is enough to convince George to sign up once again to the Dart 10k swim.

But to get the gold hat, he has to swim it twice.

Despite the trauma of the previous year’s Dartmoor Classic, George and Rachel sign up again. This time the weather takes a turn for the worse and Rachel is forced to make some creative wardrobe improvisations.

Having completed several long bike rides, George now considers himself a relatively experienced cyclist.

On the road.

Off-road riding, however, is something completely unfamiliar to him. His body (mostly his more sensitive areas) takes one hell of a beating during his first ever mountain-bike adventure.

Did Not Sink: Misadventures in Running, Cycling and Swimming

Soon to turn 40, George and Rachel decide to take a break from the usual organised events, instead seeking adventure elsewhere.

Two different cycling adventures in France follow.

One a race against time.

The other a race against wine.

To celebrate his milestone birthday, George and Rachel take on their longest run yet - 40 miles along Britain’s oldest road.

There’s yoga, a funeral, self-imposed running and swimming challenges, and a marathon with the hangover from hell.

A new hairy, four-legged addition to the Mahood family brings more fun, adventure… and rosettes.

Did Not Enter: Misadventures in Running, Cycling and Swimming

As a new virus sweeps across the globe, George and Rachel are faced with their biggest challenge yet. 

The year begins positively with George and Rachel running every single street of their local town. Just days before the country goes into lockdown, they take on the 20 miles of the Grizzly. A race so muddy that firefighters are stationed at the finish line to hose down runners.

Then the year takes a dramatic turn.

Food shortages, homeschooling, quiet roads, home haircuts, yoga, Rachel’s new marathon a month challenge and a walking holiday… in a different part of Devon.

2020 is a year none of them will ever forget.

Still living in the shadow of a global pandemic, George and Rachel attempt some of their toughest events so far. Rachel decides to sign up to her first iron-distance triathlon. But a broken bone threatens to derail George’s chances of joining her.

They take on their longest ever run, most challenging swim, their first swimrun event, and a backyard ultra - a race that can only have one finisher.

Ludo - the family’s hairy, four-legged friend - gets in on the action as an official competitor in a muddy fun run.

There are family holidays, a coast-to-coast cycling trip, and three positive Covid tests in the household. Two months of homeschooling three children pushes George to his limit.
