Sam Pasceri during The Virginia Triple Ironman. This event constist of a 7.2 mile swim, 336 miles of cycling & 78.6 miles of running to be done non-stop in under 60 hours. With approximately 6 miles left my lower legs started to retain fluid. My shins turned purple and red from the pounding on the asphalt. During those last 6 miles I would have to stop every 2 miles to have the water pushed up from my ankles so I could continue to run (well, trot...OK, speedwalk?). I've never been in more pain in my life but, at the same time I never felt so good. I met some of the best people at this event and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. The journey to get here was long and I paid the price but, I look foward to returning next year.

  • Excellent video Sam. After crossing the finish line at the Double this year I said I'd never do the Triple...when I woke up Sunday morning it was the first thing that crossed my mind. Your video helped to make up my mind...

  • Sam! You are truly an inspiration to us all! It is always an honor to work with you. Thank you and thank your crew. Chris, Mike, Ginny...you guys did an awesome job. I look forward to seeing you again at the next ultra event.
