feeling good, aren't you?

Todd Crandell:
I feel great.

Darwin Holt:
There you go.

Todd Crandell:
I also have

some land in Florida I'd like

to talk to you about.

Darwin Holt:
No.

Todd Crandell:
It's you know

It is what it is.

Can you move it? Are you alright?

How much you

got left?

Todd Crandell:

Six and a half.

Tony:
Six and a half miles.

Have you ever

not finished one?

Todd Crandell:
of the

18 Ironmans,

we have the 28 halves, you

have what will be the two

Ultramans I've not finished;

one Ironman in Malaysia,

2003 it taught a big lesson,

I had to get my priorities

together but then again I

might have already done that

anyway so...

my arm really

hurts bad up here I'm like,

What can that be?

Tony:
The tattoos're wearing off?

Todd Crandell:

Something.

It's like my bones ache.

Tony:
What are you

going to tell Melissa when

you get home?

Todd Crandell:
Thanks.

I'm sorry again.

Tony:
What are you going to

tell her when you finish?

Todd Crandell:

Thanks and I'm sorry.

and I won't do it again.

She didn't believe

me; I don't blame her

[Indiscernible]

Steve:
You know a lot of you

have been waiting to find out

where the next gentleman is,

we're presently at

10 hours 51 minutes.

So reminder for this man went

in to day number three with a

total time of 21:42:56, he

has done 18 Ironmen in his

career.

He has done one previous

Ultraman that was at the

World Championships.

He did over 42 hours and

three minutes

there; we're hoping that they

can get something around that

time today.

But we understand at this

point he's within two miles

of finishing the 2009

Ultraman Canada race.

Todd Crandell:
People don't

get over suicides of their

parents or sexual molestation

or physical abuse and mental

abuse.

You don't get over that.

You do the best that you

can on that given day to deal

with your stuff.

So how am I

handling that today?

In a variety of ways; A;

I'm not using drugs over it.

B; I totally recognize my

feelings behind this and I'm

improving on my actions

on how I handle that.

My anger is still there, it's

not as often as what it used

to be.

I'm utilizing my kids, my

work and exercising

as my way to cope with this

stuff but I will say this I'm

done with this, this whole

scene of talking about my mom

and sit in her gravesite and

all this stuff I'm done with

this.

I don't need to be talking

about this anymore.

We have the man who's going

to be the next to finish.

The man who showed that

with sobriety anything is

possible.

He became sober April

15th 1993,

he has been racing for

recovery to help other people

with drug and

alcohol problems.

There he is coming up the

homestretch he has done the

world championships he

did that last year.

It's going to be 42 year old

Todd Crandell from Sylvania

Ohio and a tremendous job,

18 Ironman to his credit

including Ironman Canada

in the year 2000

he's racing away to the

32:
03:33 finish...

He's married with four

children and they'll be very

proud of this effort as well.

10:
31 on day one,

11:
12 yesterday,

21:
32:56 with 11:09 today

for Todd Crandell

congratulations.

Went from addict to... Todd

Crandell:
The motivation I

Todd:
The motivation I have

to stay sober is...

it's not motivation

it's how it is.

I will go out a sober man...

there will be no - Oh I used

again. This time I really

mean it I'm not going to do

it no.

I stopped using drugs

long time ago and I'm

never using again, period.

When I'm gone legacy is a

strong term because I haven't

done anything worthwhile

to be a legacy but I'll say

that, I just want to leave a

message behind that I tried

to do everything I could to

take what was given to me and

have it help

somebody else.

That's why I want it to say

on my tombstone it can say

Humble, grateful individual

who did everything I could

with what was given to me

to have it improve somebody

else's life. And then Long

live Motley Crue. On the end

of it.
