    Great documentary, shows several different perspectives and personal hurdles. One is a pro and battling personal life issues and multiple DNFs, one is a pro and battling a head injury, one is an working amateur and battling work life balance and then one is an amateur and fighting old age. Man, what is your excuse?! After watching this I renewed my commitment to finish a sprint triathlon in late April! I think of George when I feel like quitting.

    At 60 years of age, George is my greatest inspiration, but truly the stories of all four athletes are inspiring. Thank you for an excellent video.

    Great video! All four athletes were inspiring. I’m a little older than George and only a runner but I know what he felt toward the end. At that point, just finishing is all that matters.

    I live in Boston and biking here might be as dangerous as any other part on the country but I am tired of drivers swerving at me in their cars. I was told twice that if I was seen again he'll run me over and pretend it was an accident. I know I'm crying like a baby 👶. I try to find places where I can cycle without cars around. This is how I feel right now 😨

    This documentary is very confusing. The introduction states that it is a full iron distance 140.6 race. At various points it references the 70.3 distance, and the actual race is a somewhat obscure “ITU Long Distance” 3km swim, 120km cycle and 30km run
