For better or worse, this movie shows what it is truly like to be a top professional in a sport where million-dollar paydays don't exist. It isn't always pretty and it doesn't always turn out the way the athletes hope, but it is as real as it gets. This is not a frilly made-for-TV production like the Ironman broadcast - it is a look under the covers at what the life of an endurance athlete is really like. It shows the doubts they harbor and the hard choices they have to make, including deciding from year-to-year whether to even continue trying to scrape by just to pursue a sport that few have even heard of. Totally engrossing and a wakeup call to people who think being able to live like a professional athlete is nothing but fun. Extremely well done!
