This video takes you through an amazing day at Ironman Lake Placid and the friends that finished it with me.

The swim start was incredible. The video somewhat captures the chaos on the water.

Be sure to watch to the end where Matt Long finishes minutes before the midnight cutoff. Matt, a former NY figherfighter, fought past a major disability after being hit by a bus and nearly killed several years ago. Matt founded an organization named I Will Foundation. He gives me hope that anything is possible if you have the right attitude and drive.

Oh, and let's not forget the guy who ran in to caputure the last second on the clock! Exactly midnight!

You couldn't script a better ending to a more amazing day.
