This guy has 45 minutes to finish before the cut-off time at IM Lake Placid 2011 but at 100m from the stadium (and another 200m from the finish) he stops cold, is doubled over and can't move. No one is with him but within moments many of the volunteers in the area are at his side trying to get him to move. He has been moving for over 16 hours but now he seems paralyzed. He is there for what seems like 5 minutes before he starts taking those baby steps. When he comes into the stadium and finishes the crowd goes crazy (sorry I didn't get the video of that). That is the Ironman way. Not only did this guy find a way to finish but people he didn't even know helped him dig deep.
