Ironman

Here the nice history of a heroical MLCM compatriot.

An Australian boy used to do the Australian Ironman. His most big illusion was to take part in this challenge with his own son.  Finally, his wife gets pregnant, but unfortunately, the child was born with brain paralysis… This was not an obstacle for this man, who continuously was training hard. When he was 60 years old he was ready and he booked two places at the Ironman: for him-self and his son.

As you know the Ironman proofs are extremely strong:

1.- 4 Kms swimming in the cold and early morning

2.- 180 Kms cycling on montains

3.- One full Marathon

World champions have arrived to finish this race in 8 hours and 15 minutes, but a very trained normal person takes at least 12 hours…

This man took almost 17 hours. Circuits should be closed, but in this case, they remained open until the night… The video made me cry…

Thanks for posting that Ana, inspirational clip if a little gushy.

You'd have to be a hard person for it not to bring a tear to the eye though.
