"Okay, just a few more minutes." "How's it looking?" "It's not my place to discuss results." "I'm just here to take good images." "You know, I usually make someone buy me a drink before they do this to me." "Churchill." "Huh?" "Winston Churchill." "I was trying to remember where that quote from that poster came from." "It's, it's Churchill." "My new boss, he signs all of his emails with a different inspirational quote." "Like half of them are from Churchill." "It does seem like he spent a lot of time being profound." "It's amazing he found a time to fight the war." "Maybe that's how he won the war, being profound." "Right." "Okay, Candice." "We are all finished." "Good, thanks." "Somebody should be in touch with you this afternoon to discuss your results." "I believe you're with Dr. Davy." "You'll like her, she's very nice." "Alright, thank you." "Okay, you're welcome." "Do I just go back to the changing room?" "Yes, I will walk you out to get changed." "Okay." "Do you spend your whole day here?" "Most of the day, yeah." "What are you, you're like a vampire." "Girl, you need some sunshine, some vitamin d." "It's just, it helps me read the images better and creates a soothing environment." "You know what you should do?" "Hold on a second." "I've got it here." "Stay with me." "World's biggest purse." "Here it is." "A triathlon." "Yeah." "Get outside, run around." "It's fun, and you can also help raise money for cancer research." "Have you done one?" "I started training to do it myself, but, uh, we'll see." "Have you ever heard of Julie moss?" "No." "Okay, look her up." "Most first-timers find her story inspiring." "I know I did." "Julie moss?" "Julie moss." "Okay, I will look her up." "Okay." "Let's get you changed." "Oh, I don't get to stay in this forever?" "But I thought I looked so good." "Well, you do." "You know, I could pick up many men in this robe." "Candice, can I get a word?" "Sure." "I'm going over our current registration numbers." "I saw they were a little low." "Yeah, well, this is my first event for the team, so I really wanna, you know, jazz it up." "Really wanna, you know." "Well, we usually get a good amount of folks registered at tri-mania." "It's a week later than last year, which are probably why the numbers are skewed." "Good, good." "'Cause I want this triath-a-Ion to be next level." "Triathlon." "Uh, what?" "It's pronounced triathlon." "That's what I said." "No, you said triath-a-Ion." "It's triathlon." "Triath-a-Ion." "Triathlon." "I don't hear the difference between the... tri-ath-Ion." "Tri-ath-Ion." "Tri, triathlon." "There it is, you got it." "Tri-a." "You got it." "Yeah." "Three syllables, tri-ath-Ion." "Mm-hmm." "Okay, that's not like mar-a-thon, but... no." "Not marthon." "It's just tri-ath-a-Ion." "No, not anymore, no a." "I'm gonna keep the a out of there." "Yeah, keep workin' on that." "Triathlon." "Mm-hmm, you've got all day to practice that." "Yes, indeed, thank you very much." "I like that." "I'll let you know how tri-mania goes." "Okay." "That's a tongue tw, tri, triathlon." "A new contender had moved into second place." "23 year old Julie moss, the former college student from los ojos, California, had moved ahead of pat heinz." "It had been more than an hour and a half now since Scott tinnley had accepted his victory wreath, and as she turned onto the streets of kailua," "Julie moss was still leading among the women." "But Julie moss had problems." "More than an hour before, she had held a significant lead over this woman, Kathleen McCartney." "McCartney might, at times, have been able to catch a faint glimpse of Julie moss far off in the distance." "As Kathleen's strength built throughout the day, Julie's deteriorated." "She began walking, eating and drinking more and more frequently." "Julie no longer just wanted to finish, she wanted to win." "Hey, you guys." "Find out how far back she is for me." "Her arms stopped pumping, her stride shortened." "In the vernacular of the marathon runner," "Julie moss had hit the wall." "I am so moved by this footage of Julie, with her legs shot, her knees buckling under her," "her thighs as out of control as rubber bands, she still had the heart to want the victory." "I brought pizza." "You've got wine, right?" "Is it date night again so soon after our last one?" "Cheers." "Cheers." "So I've been thinking." "I'm gonna do a triathlon." "What?" "A triathlon, the swim, bike, run thing." "Oh, I know what a triathlon is, but have you done any of those things recently?" "No, but it's not like i have to do it tomorrow." "It's in September." "I'll have time to train for it." "So I have to point out the obvious thing." "What's that?" "You never finish anything." "Yes I do." "I don't like the crusts." "Whatever you say." "Good evening ladies." "T-Rex." "Not gettin' in too much trouble, I hope." "Well, as you know, me and trouble have an understanding." "Mm-hmm." "What's up?" "Well, I was actually just telling your wife how she never finishes anything." "Oh man, she's been decorating the guest room for ages now." "I told her I'd do it, but no, she, this is good." "She insists she can do it all and, and um, I love you." "Love you too, honey." "Yeah, you know what?" "I'm gonna let you girls finish up everything." "Thanks, Skyler." "Alright, later." "Night." "See?" "Here, watch this." "I've been watching it all night." "There were 25 yards left to go." "So near, so far." "On the ground, Julie moss looked at the finish line from 10 yards away." "Diana nyack waited, expecting to interview the winner." "There was one more surprise." "I don't get it." "What am I watching?" "Isn't that inspiring?" "Look at that, I mean, i wanna be able to do that." "Lose control of your bodily functions and pass out in the street?" "'Cause all you need for that is some Tequila." "No, she had never done an ironman before and she almost won." "You're serious about this." "I am, I'm gonna do it." "I'm gonna finish it." "Well then I'm gonna do it with you." "Seriously?" "Absolutely." "You'll do this with me?" "You're in, I'm in." "Okay." "Okay." "And uh, naturally, I'm going to kick your ass." "We'll see." "This is like Lisa frank had a gym membership." "I didn't realize there was so much stuff, so much bright stuff." "I sort of thought we were gonna do like, sneakers, swimsuit, maybe a bike." "Don't forget your training wheels." "Or in your case, water wings." "You promised you'd take that to the grave." "Grave, oh, the place this race is going to put us." "Shiny." "This is intense." "Look at this guy." "This guy's like radiating heat off of him like a sauna." "I'm so in." "These, uh, these legs, are they human legs?" "I'll be right back." "Yeah." "I like what you're doin' with your legs." "Bing, bing." "You are just crushing it from the waist down, sir." "Well done." "Hey you." "I didn't expect to see you here." "You decided to give it a shot." "Yes, I did." "Good." "I just, I figured why not, right?" "Yeah." "Got my best friend to sign up too." "That's good." "You can support each other." "She almost backed out when I showed her the Julie moss clip." "You watched it." "It's amazing, right?" "I tell you, she's one of my favorite people." "She's like a machine." "So, do you have a team to train with?" "No, I found a program online." "I would recommend you finding a team." "T3 hondo is a good one, just tell Susan I sent ya." "Okay, I will, thank you." "No problem." "Good seeing you." "You too." "How are you?" "You know, hangin' in there." "I'm good." "Thank you." "Legs, I'm comin' for ya." "Woo!" "All right." "Good." "This is it." "Hello." "Hi." "Hi." "Hey." "So, my friend and i want to do an ironman." "Oh great, which one?" "D.C., the nation's triathlon." "Yeah." "Is this your first?" "Yep, we're ready." "Okay, so I'm not sure you wanna do an ironman." "The nation's tri is an olympic race." "Okay." "Well, which one did Julie moss do?" "An ironman." "Great." "Two for the ironman, please." "All right, well, an ironman is gonna be 2.4 mile swim with 112 mile bike ride." "It ends with a fill 26.2 marathon." "That's gonna be swimming, biking, running from D.C. to Philadelphia, 140 miles total in less than 17 hours." "Word, tell us about shorter races." "Sure, no problem." "We have teammates who are working on all distances." "For example, the olympic race is gonna be a point nine mile swim with a 25 mile bike ride, and then it ends with a 6.2 mile run." "That sounds better." "So do you guys have a training program?" "Oh yeah, and you're gonna get tons of support." "In fact, we have worked with a lot of beginners, and our group has a really healthy mix of newbies, aged groupers, and even some people going for their pro cards." "And we also have special events and we do team fundraisers for cancer research." "Oh." "Oh, cool." "That does sound cool." "Actually, here is the group training specifically for the nations race." " Alright then." " Great." "Uh, you guys have a typo." "We do?" "Yeah." "5:00am swim." "Oh, no, that's not a typo." "That's just when we have access to the pool." "It's when they have access to the pool." "I have a lot of questions." "Are we really doing this?" "Is it really five in the morning?" "Why am I here?" "Is it really five in the morning?" "You made it." "Barely." "You should see how long it takes this one to get ready." "I'm Susan, the swim coach." "I'm Skyler." "Nat?" "I think it just hit me." "Don't worry, we're not gonna throw you in the deep end, yet." "I'm ready." "Okay, let's get in, get warmed up." "Cool." "Thank you all for leaving the comfort of your warm bed to join us here this morning." "What you're about to embark on is a very difficult, but also very rewarding journey." "Our focus?" "Personal improvement." "Because in triathlons, you're only opponent is who?" "Yourself, right?" "So, let's get started with a few laps, shall we?" "Scott, can you lead the way?" "Well hello, Scott." "This is supposed to be fun, you know." "Is it that obvious?" "Yeah." "I'm nervous." "I just fell like I dove in, you know, without thinking." "Well you're here now." "And that's the first step, showing up." "The second, enjoy yourself." "Try to squeeze some fun out of it." "Okay." "I don't think I've ever seen a shark swim quite like that." "Clearly you've never seen sharknato." "I'm Scott." "Skyler." "Can I give you a tip?" "Sure." "I notice that your legs were sinking when you swim." "It's because you're looking up too much." "When your head goes up, your legs will go down, so if you keep your face down, you know, look at the bottom of the pool, your legs will come up automatically and you won't be dragging yourself through the water." "Let's try it." "So, put my face in the pool?" "Yep." "Good." "Nice." "Yeah." "That does feel better." "You'll be sneaking up on your prey in no time." "Alright." "Let's try it again." "How was that?" "That was pretty great." "Awesome." "Who's that?" "That's my sister, Christy." "Christy!" "Come join us." "Cheery." "Yeah." "I just wanna commend everyone for coming in today." "You all avoided the dns, did not start." "That is the most important accomplishment in a triathlon." "The next step, avoid dnf." "Anyone?" "Did not finish." "Exactly." "And finally, there's dfl." "Dead f'in last." "Hopefully no one here will be dfl, but anyone who's dns or dnf wishes they were dfl." "Candice, you're almost finished." "Good." "How you feelin'?" "Feel like I'm at Disney world." "You're doing great." "You ever been in one of these things?" "What?" "You know how at restaurants, they make the waiters try the menu so they have an actual opinion of which dishes are good and which aren't when you ask them." "I just assume they push the more expensive option." "Some do, but the nicer restaurants, they make them try a bite from all the dishes." "No, I have never been in the mri." "You should try it sometime." "It's fun." "Maybe if I was 19 and ate significantly fewer slices of pizza." "Oh no, this is very sexy." "This looks like a corset that stopped trying." "Oh it's trying, believe me, it's trying." "Hey guys, how're you doing?" "You look amazing." "How do those fit?" "How do those feel?" "How do you feel, nat?" "I can't breathe." "You don't need to breathe." "Anyone sees you like that, you'll be dead of shame." "Well, they're supposed to be tight, you know, snug." "I think, I think these compression shorts are just a bit too compressed." "Yeah, it definitely looks like your butt swallowed a rubber band." "Okay, well, let me go try to find you a different size, okay?" "Okay." "Alright." "I'll get on that, and while I'm pulling some other options, how about I get you something from the juice bar?" "Yeah?" "We have amazing organic free range artisanal protein shake." "We have a list, if you could just go ahead and get us one of everything on that, that's be great." "Oh my gosh." "Get this thing off of me." "And err on the side of breathability." "Coming dear." "How the heck did you get yourself into this?" "I'm not unzipping that," "I don't know what's gonna come flying out." "I'll text Rex, see if he can come and pry you out of this." "I hate you." "Okay." "Hi, I'm Trevor, I'll be your bicycle concierge today." "We're here to connect you to your perfect bicycle." "This can be your tool, your companion, your friend, your salvation." "Oh good, it has a 401k." "It all sounds very serious." "When you're out on the road with the right piece of equipment between your legs, it can be a magical experience." "What kind of razor do you use?" "This is a cervelo p5." "It's equipped with a full durace 9000 di2, 11 speed group with hydraulic brakes and remote shifting." "This bike is held together by one of the lightest and stiffest aerodynamic carbon frames on the market." "That's interesting, but it doesn't have a seat." "This is the saddle." "In fact, this is the most comfortable, powerful saddle that you can get for this bike." "So maybe it's a discount bike." "How much?" "This, uh, this model's around $20,000, but depending on what you choose, you could get a great bargain." "We have some as low as $2,200." "This bike is $20,000." "You have been really helpful, and I appreciate it, but I think this is just a little bit out of our price range." "You know, we, we might have something in the back if you're okay with it being used." "Yeah." "Used sounds good." "Used is good." "Used sounds like totally us, yeah, used." "Sounds like you." "Okay, all right." "Hello team." "Today we are wearing very funky shoes." "That is because we are going to concentrate on clipping and unclipping from your bike." "If you do not unclip correctly, that is what we call a slow motion crash." "You'll find out what that means soon enough." "Now, newbies, let's team up with a mentor who can help you through the process." "Let's have fun and stay safe out there guys." "Hey, I didn't get a chance to introduce myself at the pool, I'm Skyler." "I'm not very good at teaching." "Nice chat." "I apologize for my sister, she normally, well, she normally isn't this." "Hardcore." "We'll go with hardcore." "So let's start by clipping in." "Yeah." "How hard can that be?" "Son of a bike!" "Piece of cake." "There's just so much stuff." "You know, we tried on like 12 different bras and they're all supposed to do different things." "Let me see." "I mean, honey, look." "Don't all bras just kinda?" "You know?" "Lock it in?" "They're very specialized, honey." "Hey." "Look." "You know how much I love you." "You know that I support you in everything that it is that you want to do." "But it just seems like, to me, that you're spending a lot of money on this thing." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Look, it's just I," "I just want to make sure you can return all this stuff, you know, when... when what?" "Nat, you don't have the best track record when it comes to completing things." "I don't want this to be Johns Hopkins again." "We just paid that off." "Honey, look." "You know why I didn't finish med school." "That's not what I meant." "I'm sorry." "It's not fair, Rex." "All right, couch it is." "This is the last stage of the triathlon, the run." "At this point, it's all about your feet, you and the road." "Seasoned triathletes will tell you this is usually the point when you start talking to yourself." "That voice inside your head that starts to sprinkle in doubt." "Become acquainted with the voice in training, so that on that day, you'll be ready to shut it down." "I am Jack's therapist." "People run at different speeds." "Just do what feels comfortable to you." "I'm Jack's complete lack of surprise you've never seen fight club." "Oh." "Yeah, I saw the beginning of it." "Yeah, of course you did." "I did." "I'm sure he means well." "I know he does, it's just difficult." "I'm thinking that he doesn't believe that I can do this." "Well sometimes, the people that love us the most don't always know how to help." "Well, he's helped himself to sleeping on the couch for a little while." "Can I give you a little piece of advice from an old man?" "Shoot." "It's cliche, I know, but there's a reason cliche exists." "Never go to bed angry with the people you love." "I vaguely remember the feeling of being angry with my wife." "It's like a memory of a memory." "But for the life of me, i couldn't tell you what any of the fights were about." "Look at me gettin' all sentimental." "We're supposed to be running." "Yeah, you're right." "Let's go." "Top of the hill." "Deal." "Come on, old man." "Christy?" "Hey, are you okay?" "Oh wow." "Should you, you wanna sit down?" "Should I get you some water?" "I'm fine." "Damn, that's a lot of puke." "Hardcore." "Natalie, what are you doing?" "A cancer diagnosis can be frightening, but the treatment doesn't have to be." "New state of the art technology allows radiation treatment options that are noninvasive and effective." "Imrt uses specially calibrated concentrated blast of radiation that targets the tumor without harming the surrounding tissue." "We're able to treat cancer more aggressively than ever before with fewer side effects." "To learn more about imrt." "How does it work again?" "I think they fire photon torpedoes at that thing." "Make it so." "Seriously." "I don't know." "I'm not a photon beamologist." "Is it safe?" "That's what they say." "They say it's noninvasive and effective, so nothin' to worry about." "Thanks." "Hey." "Cheers." "Cheers." "It's official." "Would anyone like to start today's session off with a mission moment?" "What's a mission moment?" "Well, sometimes before training, we share a personal story about what got us started with this." "A person or event that inspires us." "When Barbara was diagnosed," "I became angry." "Angrier than I've ever been." "I lashed out at friends and family alike." "I became unpleasant, mean." "Subconsciously, I wanted them to suffer too." "Barbara could tell." "She knew." "And as her prognosis became worse," "I became angry." "And then one night, she said to me," ""don't do that."" "She said, "this is not the man I fell in love with." ""This is not the man i promised to spend" ""the rest of my life with."" "Today, I ride for Barbara, because in my darkest hours, she never let me lose myself." " Car." " Car." "Watch out, get to the side." "Geez, sorry." "Today we are gonna work on sighting and close contact." "Swimming in a pool is very different from swimming in open water." "Here you can follow the line at the bottom of the pool, but when you look down in the potomac, there will be nothing, so you have to make sure you keep sight of the buoys to guide you." "How hard can that be?" "You're forgetting about all the other swimmers." "When you go out in waves it's like swimming in a mosh pit." "Oh." "So, how're we gonna simulate that?" "So I think I'm gonna get the hamburger." "Oh, or the wings." "Maybe both." "Actually, mind if I go first?" "Does it matter?" "For one thing, I am a lady." "Huh, since when?" "Rex." "Oh, they have sweet potato fries." "Scott was giving me some, uh, diet advice to help us through this intense physical beating that you've signed us up for." "Oh, Scott was giving you advice." "Yes, and he was saying... wait, wait, wait, wait." "Who's Scott?" "Scott is on our team." "Skyler wants to make him her boo-thang." "Oh." "Get it, sky." "Just make him happy." "I hate both of you." "Anyway, so yeah, he was saying... oh my god, i didn't see the calzones." "When somebody orders, it influences the whole table." "So since pecs over here wants to calorie it up, you and I should go first." "Rex." "Not in public, please." "Or anywhere, please." "I've never heard that before, but that totally makes sense." "Well I'm still gettin' the sweet potato fries." "We should let him order the fries." "I kind of want one." "Yeah." "Can you pass me that magazine, please?" "This one?" "Yeah, great puzzles in it." "Thank you." "What're you in for?" "Uh, cancer?" "Hmm, me too." "Where you from?" "Outside D.C.." "Oh, I'm from around here as well." "Don't you have some puzzles to do?" "Yeah, but someone has done all these." "Bummer." "What you working on?" "I mean, I see you working the phone." "I'm planning a triathlon." "Wow." "That's fantastic." "It's a runaway train." "And I am here." "Exactly where you should be." "How's that?" "Well, um, you fly a lot?" "As in a plane?" "Yeah." "As in a passenger?" "Are you a pilot?" "No." "Yes, as a passenger." "Yes, I've been a passenger on a plane." "Good." "Well then you know that they go through the whole thing." "In the event the cabin loses pressure, oxygen bags will be deployed from the ceiling." "Take the mask and put it up over your own head before you assist anyone else." "Let me give you some unsolicited advice from an old pro." "Focus on taking care of yourself before you take on the burdens of everyone else." "Mr. hughs, we're ready for you." "Ah, that's me, I'm up." "Nice meeting you, Mr. hughs." "Miles." "Candice." "Each session is rather quick and the process is very noninvasive." "We can shape the beam to the exact shape of the tumor, allowing us to really pump up the energy to attack it." "We have a custom fitted brace that helps guide the beam." "Once calibrated, the treatment only takes a few minutes." "Any questions?" "Can I make one request?" "Are you ready?" "Are you wearing the glasses?" "Yes." "Make it so." "There we go, just a little hill." "Ugh, he's speeding up." "My god." "Ugh!" "What're you doing?" "Come on." "Okay." "Here we go, you're doin' good." "There you go, nice." "All right, you got this." "Okay." "All right, there you go." "Who's that?" "Marissa barrera, current world champion." "Oh." "Wow." "Yeah." "She used to compete with Christy a few years back." "Christy beat her." "Really?" "Yeah." "I've gotta go get ready for our session." "Uh, you're not gonna beat us with sticks today, right?" "You have to wait and see." "Hey, Marissa." "Christy!" "Oh, it's so good to see you." "I heard." "Yeah, it's fine, I'm fine." "That's so good to hear." "You in town for a race?" "Uh, no, I uh, I got some appearances in some, uh, photo shoots, and." "That's great." "That's really great." "It's really good to see you." "Yeah, good to see you too." "It sucks so much." "Every day I go out there and train, I push." "I know what I need to do and I push." "But my body, this body, won't let me." "That could be me, that should be me." "Sucks." "But it isn't you." "Christy, that's not your path." "I used to lift up 300 pound men." "Toss them around like rag dolls." "But yet I didn't have the endurance to run the mile." "Strength comes in may forms, Christy." "And you've been showcasing your every day for the last year." "You know, a lot of people in the wrestling biz have tattoos." "I never did." "But I got a lot of scars though." "Barbara hated tattoos, but she loved my scars." "She used to say, "scars are like tattoos" ""with better stories."" "It means you felt the pain." "And being able to tell the stories means you've grown from it." "I always thought wrestling was fake." "Shhh, hush now." "Scripted, but it's definitely not fake." "What is this?" "Oh please Candice, come on in." "You haven't ordered the finishers medals?" "And look how much money we've saved." "Oh, that's not the point." "You're right, that's not the whole point." "I don't believe in participation trophies." "It diminishes the achievements of the athletes that actually succeed." "You know, kids nowadays are getting rewards for tying their shoes." "You know what kid of reward you should get for tying your shoes?" "Not trippin' and bustin' your ass." "Don't worry, everybody who finishes the race gets a coupon book." "No one wants a coupon book." "What?" "There's over $100 worth of savings in this coupon book." "Max, these aren't participation trophies." "These are finishing medals." "People earn them." "Well this year, they will earn a buy one get one free car wash and cupcake." "From sprinkles." "In Georgetown." "Delicious." "I love it." "Wow." "And a side of hummus." "Come on Natalie." "Push." "Little bit further." "Why, what's the point?" "No, not now." "Seriously, what's the point?" "New running outfit?" "New running shoes?" "Keep running." "Did you really need new shoes?" "Just keep pushing to the end of the block." "Rex is probably right." "Spending all this money?" "And what do you have to show for it?" "Nothing." "The answer is nothing." "Just like Johns Hopkins." "Two years of med school and you quit." "I don't blame you." "Med school is hard." "And why would you stress yourself out like that?" "What, are you gonna run all the way back home?" "When we were younger, Christy would always beat me, in everything." "Racing, swimming, card games." "I was in decent shape, but she was an athlete." "I remember when she won her age group in her first triathlon and the second." "She racked up so many trophies that our house started to look like a little brass forest." "And I remember the diagnosis." "It's like all of a sudden the world changed, you know?" "Colors weren't as bright, sounds not nearly as sharp." "I felt so helpless." "I mean, here she was fighting and there was nothing that i could do about it." "During one of her treatments, i was walking the halls of the hospital, pacing really," "and I saw a flier for triathlon training." "I signed up that night." "It was something, something that I could do to take my mind off of what she was going through, something I could do to honor her." "My tribute to her i competed in as many races as I could sign up for." "All during her treatment." "And now, and now here she is." "In remission." "And we're training together." "And for that, I am endlessly thankful." "All right, let's go run." "You just gonna keep ignoring my calls?" "Rex told me I'd find you here." "Gotta say, I'm actually surprised." "Don't start, sky." "I've been busy." "Yeah, I know." "I know how this game goes." "We both do." "Just sayin' I missed ya." "You know, in this cold ass pool at 5:00am." "A commitment that was your idea." "I know, I'm sorry." "Zeus is throwing a barbecue tonight." "You should come." "I just feel weird since i haven't really been around." "That's the good thing." "You haven't really been around, so they're not sick of you like I am." "All right, all right." "Good, 'cause you totally missed the open water swimming, which is, uh, every bit as dangerous as the pool." "And then some." "So cool, a college professor." "What do you teach?" "Anthropology." "Random facts 101." "Did you know that an elephant can swim 20 miles a day using its trunk as a snorkel?" "Huh." "Or, did you know that human testicles have a resting temperature of somewhere between" "92 and 96 degrees?" "So if it's 94 outside, it actually is hot as balls." "Okay." "It's been a lot of days" "I haven't felt like doing anything." "I understand that, all too well." "I'm beginning to think that maybe, maybe I'm just not cut out for this." "Nonsense." "Natalie, if I can do it, you can do it." "How do you do it?" "How do you stay motivated?" "My Julie moss poster can only guilt trip me so many times." "Butterflies." "Butterflies." "Barbara loved butterflies." "Ever since she was a little girl, she was fascinated with them." "How they could transform, transition, grow wings and fly." "And whenever I don't feel like training, or I'm just too tired," "I think of those butterflies and I remember that's why i began this to start with." "So far it's got me through three triathlons, three." "Butterflies." "Butterflies." "Just go talk to him." "No way man." "It's just, he's Zeus man." "He won't bite you." "I promise." "So are you boinking my brother or what?" "I'm sorry, what?" "I asked if you were boinking my brother." "Oh, no, I heard you, but who says boinking?" "Me." "Nothing good is happening over there right now." "Skyler." "I really don't understand how there is traffic on a Saturday afternoon, I'm so sorry I'm late." "No worries, Candice." "It's good to see you Zeus." "I think you've met Natalie." "Candice here is the one responsible for getting me to get out here and join the team." "How's it going?" "It's a bit rocky, but I think I'm gonna get it together." "How about you?" "How've you been?" "You know, just zapping' my lady bits with laser beams." "It's like." "Just void there, void." "Don't." "Excuse me." "Mr. Zeus." "Um, I, I just wanted to say I saw you wrestle when I was a kid." "No way." "Way." "The forum." "You're the first and only person ever to get out of the bulldozer's bulldozer super hold." "It was awesome." "Now you're making me feel like an old man." "No, no." "You're a legend." "I just, honey." "You, uh, you didn't tell me you were working with a legend." "Yeah, I would say that Zeus is pretty legendary." "Right." "Candice, this fanboy here is my husband." "Ah, of course it is." "Hi." " Hi." "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Remember that time when you had that pass, it was loser leaves town?" "I mean, it was awesome." "You're just like,." "You still got the guns, man." "Yeah man." "You want a beer?" "Yeah." "Aww, and then this doggy, he used to love this dog." "So full." "He carried that everywhere with him." "Oh, hey." "Why do you even carry those around?" "I like to remember when you were actually cute." "Yeah, what happened?" "Oh my gosh, look at this one." "Love." "That's so funny." "Goodbye, thanks for coming, Billy." "Get home safe." "So, I think I made Scott sufficiently uncomfortable for the night." "Ah, it's so good to see you smile again, Christy." "I'm just so excited to get back out there again." "I think it's all adrenaline." "Honey, you're gonna do great." "Are you coming?" "I always do." "Zeus, thank you." "You're gonna kill 'em." "You know, if they make these bikes any lighter," "I swear we're gonna have to tether them to the ground." "You remember coalbridge road?" "Yeah, of course I do." "Sometimes I still have nightmares of that bike of yours." "10 speed huffy x-treme." "And I used to whoop your ass on it." "I never understood why they had to get you such a gaudy color." "Just to taunt me as you whizzed by?" "Don't talk bad about the golden gears." "He's usually the first one here." "He probably had a few beers last night." "I'm sure Zeus will make it for the finish." "Scott, what if I'm not ready?" "Christy, you're ready." "Scott, I did it." "Christy." "It's Zeus." "He's gone." "What happened?" "Cardiac arrest." "He had heart disease and i guess it just gave out." "He was fine last night." "I didn't know." "No one did." "I told Susan, but." "I want to thank you all." "I've been a bit difficult recently." "I lost track of what this is all about." "Yes, triathlons are individual races, but they're not, not really." "I mean, nothing is." "When you have friends, family, people who love you, you don't have to do anything alone." "That's what Zeus reminded me." "Today I ride for you, big guy." "Well, hello again, Candice." "Hey, miles." "Are you okay?" "Thinkin' of an old friend." "Do you ever ask yourself what's the point of any of this?" "Uh, yeah, all the time." "You don't get to be my age without asking a few questions." "You know, I found that it helps when we focus on things that we can control." "Like the people we let in our lives and how we treat them, and our attitudes when we have to face setbacks." "And then there's this." "I started doing these when I went into my first round of chemo." "Then after I went into remission, i just kept doing them." "And now when I feel myself obsessing about something outside of my sphere of influence," "I just do one of these and, somehow, it just helps me stay grounded." "You got all that from soduku?" "Must've been some powerful chemo." "Yeah." "Come with me, I want to show you something." "Come on." "Come on." "Emma!" "Mr. miles!" "Awe, miles." "Hey." "Emma, I'd like for you to meet a friend of mine." "This is Ms. Candice." "Candice, this very brave little girl is Emma." "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." "This is a very special day for Emma, isn't it?" "Yes." "Today is the day i get to ring the gong." "Once my treatment's over and my cancer goes away," "I get to ring the gong." "That's so wonderful." "Are you excited?" "Yes!" "Emma and I have been buddies for a little while now." "I had to be here for this." "Oh Emma." "Oh come on, you can do better than that." "Candice, did." "What is this?" "I ordered the finishers medals." "You're not authorized to do that." "Can you leave my office?" "Just for a second, step outside." "Come on, come on." "And I want you to think of the most challenging obstacle you have ever overcome." "And then come back inside." "Go." "Do you got it in your head?" "Yeah." "Okay, come back inside." "How do you feel?" "How do I feel?" "Feels good, doesn't it?" "Yeah, it feels good." "But you're still not authorized." "Next week Skyler, next week you'll be doin' this for real." "This feels pretty real." "On your left." "Oh, excuse us." "Car, back!" "Natalie!" "Ms. Jackson, there you are." "We're ready for you." "Ready?" "Make it so." "I love speaking at these kickoff dinners, feeling the energy in the room, the anticipation, knowing you athletes are about to push yourself further than you every thought possible." "You will be racing for your loved ones, for your causes, and for your own personal challenges." "So, let me give you a few nuggets of advice for your race tomorrow." "Exhale slowly, the inhale is automatic." "Get out of your head." "Look around." "Those people at the start and lining the race route, they are cheering for you." "Take in the sights." "You wanna finish the race, but you also wanna remember having raced." "Follow your nutrition plan." "Stay hydrated." "And when it's offered, drink the soup." "Let's talk about limitations." "Your mind wants to play tricks." "There's a point where things become hard." "The obstacles seem insurmountable." "You remember past failures all too vividly, and those memories of your successes, just out of reach." "Taking that next step seems impossible." "Your mind will give you every reason to quit." "But there's another part of your brain, the part that has trained and pushed and prepared." "The part that knows that when you resolved to finish what you've started, those doubts and those reasons for quitting, and that defeatist voice will be silenced." "Let's talk about limitations." "There aren't any." "Have a great race tomorrow." "Are you sure you're okay?" "I'm fine, Rex." "Everybody would understand." "All right." "I will be there." "Cheering you on." "Come on, let me get your bag." "Gotta save your energy." "Come on folks, get it together." "Get to your stations." "Candice." "Natalie, how are you?" "Do you have a minute?" "Of course." "Let's go over here, it's a little bit quieter." "Keep working!" "What's up?" "I can't believe I'm here." "You look good." "Ready to go." "I just wanted to thank you for getting me out of the lab and into the world, and the freezing cold water." "Hey, that's my pleasure." "You know, I, I've seen first hand what this community can do, and I'm just glad to be part of you discovering it." "I wanted to give you something." "Um, I'm running this because of you, in your honor." "And I, I wanted you to be my honorary teammate." "I'm not gonna have to run or anything, you know, 'cause I haven't been training." "No." "Natalie, thank you." "Hey." "Oh no." "Relax, I'm just here to keep you company." "Oh, okay, good." "This is actually really fun." "You're doing a triathlon." "How are you feeling?" "Good." "Good, I feel strong." "The swim was tough." "The going okay?" "Yeah." "Great, that's great." "Hmm, I wonder what Rex is up to." "There's a new bike, right, it's by cervelo, and they actually put the shifter cables inside the frame." "Okay." "You're just like gliding." "You don't have any friction at all." "You know how much i hate friction?" "I hate friction." "Shooo." "Shooo." "Shooo." "Shooo." "It makes that sound?" "No, i... like, shooo." "It's like, shooo." "Hey nat." "Hey." "How're you feelin'?" "Tired as hell." "Yeah, me too." "Started talkin' to yourself yet?" "Yeah." "I'm surprisingly positive." "And I'm just singing queen." "Almost 2/3 done, baby." "Oh, okay." "Almost there." "What was that?" "What is that?" " Oh damn." "What is that?" "805, blocking." "I got it." "Report to the penalty tent." "Thanks man, I gotcha." "Hey nat, I'll see you at the finish." "All right!" "You should be way ahead at this pace." "This is a good pace." "You're slow, weak and slow." "Shut up!" "Man, I love beer." "Hoppy beer, malty beer, balanced beer." "Can't wait to drink a..." "Christy, are you okay?" "I'm fine, go." "Nope." "You good?" "I got it." "Let's go." "Hey, Skyler, get up!" "Whoo!" "Natalie?" "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, just keep going." "Let me see." "I'm fine." "You don't look fine." "Holy shatner, Natalie." "It's just a bruise." "Like hell, you gotta stop." "I'm gonna grab a medic." "I'm in the middle of the race, I'm not gonna stop now." "Natalie!" "Are you serious?" "I have to finish this, sky." "Okay." "If you say so." "Let's go." "Okay, okay." "Nat, we made it." "Oh no, am I?" "Oh yeah, this is exactly what you think it is." "You're bonking." "I was wrong before." "I can't do it." "You can't do it." "I can't do." "No one's gonna say anything." "You can just stop now, it's fine." "You tried your best." "Hey, you got close enough." "Just quit." "Should've taken the soup." "What?" "The soup." "Water." "Soda." "Soup?" "Did you say soup?" "Well, it's chicken broth, but it has a lot of nutrients you may need." "You know what?" "I got this." "I should've taken the soup." "Skyler, get up, you can do this." "Come on." "Scott?" "Come on, just get up." "One foot in front of the other." "Come on, just focus." "Come on, Skyler, you can do it." "Come on." "One foot in front of the other, that's it." "Come on, you can do it." "Come on, sky, get up." "Follow my voice this way." "My medal!" "You're here." "Natalie!" "Natalie!" "Go, go, come on, come on." "Come on, baby, come on." "Come on, come on, you got it, come on." "Nat, you're almost there, you can do it." "You can do it!" "Go!" "Yes, yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "See, I told you i was gonna be here."
