I consider myself extremely athletic (in other sports), although I'm 70, but I've been banging away at TI for 5-6 years and I tend to get discouraged at my slow progress despite all my diligent practice and effort. But then I reflect I was actually afraid of water, I'm very skinny and a sinker, and other random people looking at me now think I'm a very good swimmer (I'm not really compared to other TI students), and I have competed in 4 Half Ironman races and 2 Full Ironman races, so I've actually come a long way.
So, yes it really works. Best if you can find yourself a real live hands on TI certified coach; learning from the book or video alone is definitely a second best choice.
