[@mikedickerson3944]

Got some footage of me, yay! Very proud of myself for qualifying. Quite odd, though, when you finish that they still say “You are an Ironman!” considering that you’ve had to already completed an Ironman to qualify.

Thus is an awesome documentary all 5 episodes. I was just a little disappointed you didn't highlight the disabled categories. Specifically Thomas Frűrwirth who is a multi time world champion and finishes not far off of the men's pro times. While you mentioned the ironman is all inclusive a documentary like this shows that disabled athletes like myself no matter how elite we are will never get the recognition or respect able bodied athletes get.
