Mitch, really love this video, tried to contact you through your facebook page. I'd like to ask some more about how you filmed it, as I'd like to have a go foliming some of my IM events next year,
Great clip. Awesome. I'm planning on Cozamel next year. Where did you mount the cam on the swim? Anything you would do different for the taping to improve it?
"You wanna get off your bike so bad that if someone said, 'You can only get off your bike if you run a marathon,' you'd be like, 'Ok, just let me off my bike.'" - ha ha
I actually showed it during a University Chem lab today, just for some background music and video, but didn't count on so many of the students stopping to watch. Really love how you caught some many of the spectators antics during the run.
Would love to make it to Kona one day, but it will only be by the lottery...
Thanks, I'm doing my 1st & 2nd Ironman's this year, & it was great to see your experience, yes definitely as you come to the finish, even I'm welling up a bit. I can't wait for that day, yet this training is sooo hard, I know it is nothing like I can imagine. Congratulations.
thanks Mitch... though I only completed a 70.3, i used your clip to make my friends and family understand what if feels like to be in the water, on the bike and during the run..
your clip has inspired me to start my 70.3 training early(race scheduled in Oct 2010)
Thank you for taking us along! You have a great sense of humor and I got chills when you crossed the finish line. Great video, very inspiring. I actually teared up a little bit. :)
Man, i bought the action cam for rafting but i AM going to IM France June 2009. I would really love to know how you coped with batteries and SD card (which size?)... how and WHERE you put the cam on your swimming cap and how you did it for the marathon (I suppose you held it in your hand?)
Awsome man! Thanks for sharing your moment with us!!! Truly inspiring! I just did my first Triathlon in Chicago yesterday...always watch your vids to keep me going!
The part this is nutz is the part where hes riding and hes like "here comes the lead mail" and the guy just flys past him with the pace bike leading him. Thats sooo crazy I know that feeling form 1/2 tris and sprints but in a actule iron man. WOW
Chills man, chills :)
