Really a great start to the show! I loved that line.

john blaise is an inspiration. shit, i'm gonna cry....

My two friends and I are watching and boo hooing over Blaise.

He is, and I thought his poem was pretty good. Nonetheless I still prefer the racing part. It was cool seeing how hard the pros went through transition and were pushing on the bike. That was quite the pace line they showed.

those two wheelchair triathletes are incredible as well! how the hell do they swim without legs???

oh hell, now they got sarah reinertson, another inspirational miracle triathlete. jesus christ!! they're pullin out all the big guns....lol.

amazing people these triathletes :)

That's no way to treat a bike. Who cares if you did get a flat tire! And there is no crying in triathlon!!!



tisk tisk!

Could you imagine all the traning he has gone through, the hours and hours of pain, plus the emotion of being the previous world champion and trying to defend your title, only to blow two tires in the same race? Man I would cry too.. I found that totally heartbreaking to watch

Love how Blaise rolled across the finish line! Official rules say you can! Great sense of humor.

shit, I can't stop crying, I'm pathetic...

I cannot believe they did not show Stadlers leg bleeding from the bee sting... that was award wining material wasted...

How about Carlos Moleda (sp?) finishing in 10.5 hours! That is crazy fast for any athlete, let alone someone who did 100% using just his upper body... Yet another inspiration...

It was/is a great opening line. It's typically what I say to non-triathletes when I get the jaw-drop when they ask how far you have to go in an Ironman triathlon - "yeah, I know it's ridiculous is'nt it?" - is what I say.
