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.
