TRI (2016) Movie Script
- 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-lon to be next level.
- Triathlon.
- Uh, what?
- It's pronounced triathlon.
- That's what I said.
- No, you said triath-a-lon.
It's triathlon.
- Triath-a-lon.
- Triathlon.
- I don't hear the
difference between the--
- tri-ath-lon.
- Tri-ath-lon.
Tri, triathlon.
- There
it is, you got it.
- Tri-a.
- You got it.
Yeah.
- Three syllables, tri-ath-lon.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, that's not
like mar-a-thon, but--
- no.
- Not marthon.
It's just tri-ath-a-lon.
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 zappin' 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.
- 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-lon to be next level.
- Triathlon.
- Uh, what?
- It's pronounced triathlon.
- That's what I said.
- No, you said triath-a-lon.
It's triathlon.
- Triath-a-lon.
- Triathlon.
- I don't hear the
difference between the--
- tri-ath-lon.
- Tri-ath-lon.
Tri, triathlon.
- There
it is, you got it.
- Tri-a.
- You got it.
Yeah.
- Three syllables, tri-ath-lon.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, that's not
like mar-a-thon, but--
- no.
- Not marthon.
It's just tri-ath-a-lon.
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 zappin' 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.
