347
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:55,653
- Swimming is the shortest
segment of the triathlon.

348
00:19:55,653 --> 00:19:57,488
However, many of the athletes
here feel

349
00:19:57,488 --> 00:20:00,116
it may be
the most difficult segment.

350
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:01,660
- It's dark. The water's cold.

351
00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:03,662
There's current, there's kelp.

352
00:20:03,662 --> 00:20:05,829
Somebody playing bongos
on your head.

353
00:20:05,829 --> 00:20:08,458
- Yeah, yeah,
I think I know how to swim.

354
00:20:08,458 --> 00:20:09,960
I haven't done a lot of it.

355
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,711
- You come outta the water,
then you get on the bike.

356
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:14,673
- But that's when
they'll go to their lower body

357
00:20:14,673 --> 00:20:15,964
and really start working
the legs.

358
00:20:15,964 --> 00:20:18,509
- Yeah, I had a banana seat bike
when I was a kid.

359
00:20:19,803 --> 00:20:22,137
- When we're done with the bike,
you want to go for a run?

360
00:20:22,137 --> 00:20:26,017
- Yeah, I run up and down
a field after balls super fast.

361
00:20:26,017 --> 00:20:30,063
- They put their pain aside
by taking it one mile at a time.

362
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:32,315
- I found
what I was looking for.

363
00:20:32,315 --> 00:20:33,982
- Is there a better feeling
in the world

364
00:20:33,982 --> 00:20:36,403
of triathletes than this one?

365
00:20:36,403 --> 00:20:40,823
- I did my first race.
I came in dead last.

366
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:45,827
But I had never felt so alive.

367
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:51,208
I was so excited.
My adorable mom was there.

368
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:53,295
She'd been cheering me on
the whole time

369
00:20:53,295 --> 00:20:55,337
- 'Cause she had
a terrible bike.

370
00:20:55,337 --> 00:20:57,882
She didn't know how to swim,
and that night,

371
00:20:57,882 --> 00:21:00,551
I said, just the fact
that you finished,

372
00:21:00,551 --> 00:21:03,137
that's an accomplishment
in itself.

373
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,267
- Each of these triathletes
came with personal goals.

374
00:21:07,267 --> 00:21:09,143
Their courageous stories
played out

375
00:21:09,143 --> 00:21:10,853
long after the cheering crowd,

376
00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:14,147
a victory,
no matter how they placed.

377
00:21:14,147 --> 00:21:16,609
- Many triathlons have developed
throughout the country

378
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:18,737
and indeed throughout
the entire world.

379
00:21:18,737 --> 00:21:20,113
- No way.

380
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:21,781
Mom,

381
00:21:21,781 --> 00:21:26,285
I am gonna be the best
in the world in this sport.

382
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:29,163
Did I believe it? No.

383
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:31,458
- And I said, okay,
here's the deal.

384
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:34,626
Two years, I'll support you.

385
00:21:34,626 --> 00:21:37,797
If at the end of those two years

386
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:40,758
it doesn't look like you're
gonna be the world champion

387
00:21:40,758 --> 00:21:45,596
of triathlon, then you...
you move on to something else.

388
00:21:45,596 --> 00:21:47,557
- You know, I'm an athlete.
I'm determined.

389
00:21:47,557 --> 00:21:51,853
I have this deep emotional
reason why I need

390
00:21:51,853 --> 00:21:54,690
to take on this sport
and become good at it.

391
00:21:55,940 --> 00:21:59,944
So I almost had to role-play
that girl

392
00:21:59,944 --> 00:22:02,238
that one day was gonna become
the best

393
00:22:02,238 --> 00:22:03,323
in the world in this sport.

394
00:22:03,323 --> 00:22:05,157
What would she do?

395
00:22:05,866 --> 00:22:09,452
Well, she moved to Boulder,
Colorado, the mecca of the sport

396
00:22:09,452 --> 00:22:12,623
- From Boulder, Colorado,
this is Siri Lindley.

397
00:22:13,708 --> 00:22:15,960
- She would train
in the morning,

398
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,670
at lunchtime, at night.

399
00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:20,923
She would model people
that have done

400
00:22:20,923 --> 00:22:22,508
what I dream of doing.

401
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:23,884
- The best triathletes
in the world.

402
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:25,803
- Karen Smyers looking to do
as much of the work...

403
00:22:25,803 --> 00:22:27,430
- Karen Smyers came
from way behind...

404
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:28,557
- Carol Montgomery.

405
00:22:28,557 --> 00:22:29,767
- One of Canada's
top triathletes.

406
00:22:29,767 --> 00:22:31,643
- Emma Carney,
the defending world champion.

407
00:22:31,643 --> 00:22:33,394
- Katie Jones has proved herself
to be...

408
00:22:33,394 --> 00:22:35,105
- Katie Jones, world number one.

409
00:22:35,105 --> 00:22:36,565
- Also Loretta Harrop.

410
00:22:36,565 --> 00:22:38,817
- Loretta Harrop,
one of the favorites.

411
00:22:38,817 --> 00:22:40,152
- But I sucked.

412
00:22:40,152 --> 00:22:44,113
- Most athletes you can look at
at the top, top, top,

413
00:22:44,113 --> 00:22:46,657
get there by hard work,
but they also have

414
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:48,492
a lot of natural talent.

415
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:49,787
Siri, in my opinion,

416
00:22:49,787 --> 00:22:52,288
did not have natural talent
for triathlon.

417
00:22:52,288 --> 00:22:53,539
She didn't know how to swim.

418
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:55,125
- She needed help in her swim,

419
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:56,626
you know, so that was one thing.

420
00:22:56,626 --> 00:22:59,127
- Swim was my absolute weakness.

421
00:22:59,127 --> 00:23:00,212
- She doesn't have a good swim.

422
00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:01,464
- A pretty pathetic swim,
actually.

423
00:23:01,464 --> 00:23:03,467
- Siri Lindley had
an absolutely horrible swim

424
00:23:03,467 --> 00:23:05,718
- And the bike
definitely needed help.

425
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:07,386
- She did not have confidence
on the bike.

426
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:08,680
- Lindley's slow.
She'll have a lot

427
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,222
of catching up to do
on the bike.

428
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:11,724
- She rented a bike.

429
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,518
It was just...
[laughing]

430
00:23:13,518 --> 00:23:14,936
But how cute.

431
00:23:14,936 --> 00:23:16,938
- And she was not
a nationally gifted runner.

432
00:23:16,938 --> 00:23:19,900
- But they blend together
to make one sport.

433
00:23:21,150 --> 00:23:25,321
If you can optimize
and maximize those together,

434
00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:28,325
all of a sudden,
you can come out on top.

435
00:23:28,325 --> 00:23:30,701
[cheering]

436
00:23:30,701 --> 00:23:32,244
- And I just remember them
saying,

437
00:23:32,244 --> 00:23:34,329
you know, this gal,
you know, she's got big dreams.

438
00:23:34,329 --> 00:23:37,458
- Number 35, from the USA,
Siri Lindley.

439
00:23:37,458 --> 00:23:41,377
- That's all of us.
We all have big dreams.

440
00:23:41,377 --> 00:23:44,714
- At the time we were told
more than 95%

441
00:23:44,714 --> 00:23:46,884
of all professional triathletes
came from swimming background.

442
00:23:46,884 --> 00:23:48,511
- People grow up as swimmers.

443
00:23:48,511 --> 00:23:50,305
- Top swimmers moving
into the front.

444
00:23:50,305 --> 00:23:51,305
Barb Lindquist, of course.

445
00:23:51,305 --> 00:23:52,597
- Laura Reback comes in,

446
00:23:52,597 --> 00:23:53,767
an all-American
high school swimmer.

447
00:23:53,767 --> 00:23:55,102
- That swimming strength
really showing.

448
00:23:55,102 --> 00:23:57,353
- Rina Hill is one of the most
accomplished swimmers

449
00:23:57,353 --> 00:23:58,896
on the triathlon circuit.

450
00:23:58,896 --> 00:24:01,106
- It's the toughest sport
to learn.

451
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:02,357
- It'll make life difficult

452
00:24:02,357 --> 00:24:04,359
for the not-so-experienced
swimmers.

453
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,862
- I tend to start the year,
you know,

454
00:24:05,862 --> 00:24:07,696
setting some realistic goals.

455
00:24:07,696 --> 00:24:09,698
- I had no idea
that she really wanted

456
00:24:09,698 --> 00:24:11,951
to become number one
in the world at the time.

457
00:24:13,202 --> 00:24:14,913
I would say, impossible.

458
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:18,833
- Today I want to offer up
a thought.

459
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:22,211
Next week I get admitted
into the hospital,

460
00:24:22,211 --> 00:24:27,342
which is gonna be tough
on my body, of course.

461
00:24:27,342 --> 00:24:28,884
My athletes,

462
00:24:28,884 --> 00:24:30,553
when they're training
really hard

463
00:24:30,553 --> 00:24:32,221
or they're in the middle
of a race...

464
00:24:32,221 --> 00:24:34,557
Laser focused

465
00:24:34,557 --> 00:24:36,602
and everything you have
inside of you.

466
00:24:36,602 --> 00:24:40,521
What I always say to them is,
you want it to hurt.

467
00:24:40,938 --> 00:24:43,357
You can do it. Mind of steel.

468
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:46,862
You run your fastest 21K
right now, girl, you got this.

469
00:24:46,862 --> 00:24:49,238
When it hurts, it means
that you're going fast.

470
00:24:49,238 --> 00:24:51,406
- Siri Lindley of the
United States of America,

471
00:24:51,406 --> 00:24:54,076
clearly now starting to feel
the pain.

472
00:24:54,076 --> 00:24:56,162
- Going fast hurts.

473
00:24:56,162 --> 00:24:58,914
- She attacked it like
I've never seen anyone else

474
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:01,083
attack anything before
in my life.

475
00:25:01,083 --> 00:25:02,710
- In short time,

476
00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:04,752
not only did she catch up
to me...

477
00:25:04,752 --> 00:25:09,092
- Fast in our neighborhood,
guys, fast is hard.

478
00:25:09,092 --> 00:25:11,218
- She passed
me and then she left me.

479
00:25:12,928 --> 00:25:15,597
- One of the hardest things
to do in this sport...

480
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:17,849
There's always more.
There's always more.

481
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:21,519
Is to get comfortable
with real pain.

482
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:23,606
And stop. Awesome.

483
00:25:23,606 --> 00:25:26,442
What if every struggle
or every challenge

484
00:25:26,442 --> 00:25:28,067
that you were immersed in...

485
00:25:28,067 --> 00:25:30,946
- Erika Molnar now takes it away
from Siri Lindley.

486
00:25:30,946 --> 00:25:33,657
- You decided that you were
gonna live in a beautiful state

487
00:25:33,657 --> 00:25:35,201
no matter what?

488
00:25:35,201 --> 00:25:37,994
I feel like there's so much
that I don't know

489
00:25:37,994 --> 00:25:40,748
that it's kind of a bit
of an adventure.

490
00:25:43,417 --> 00:25:45,920
- Sometimes you train

491
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,212
and you know
that you barely can keep up.

492
00:25:48,212 --> 00:25:51,676
- There we see Lindley well
struggling with this early pace.

493
00:25:51,676 --> 00:25:54,470
- You either give up or you say,
I'm gonna come back

494
00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:56,221
and I'm gonna do better.

495
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:57,140
And Siri was that.

496
00:25:57,140 --> 00:26:00,184
- Change the emotion
behind that pain

497
00:26:00,184 --> 00:26:02,311
and acknowledge that
it's something that's great.

498
00:26:05,397 --> 00:26:07,025
- Siri Lindley clearly now
starting

499
00:26:07,025 --> 00:26:09,109
to feel the pain and struggle.

500
00:26:09,109 --> 00:26:11,863
She really does find herself
in unfamiliar territory.

501
00:26:11,863 --> 00:26:14,031
- Every session for me was
do or die.

502
00:26:14,031 --> 00:26:16,325
Every session was life or death.

503
00:26:17,826 --> 00:26:21,122
- I think Siri wanted to prove

504
00:26:21,122 --> 00:26:22,207
everyone wrong.

505
00:26:22,207 --> 00:26:24,000
- She's always been back
in the water,

506
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,085
has had to really force
the pace on the bike

507
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:27,711
and then track them down
on the run.

508
00:26:27,711 --> 00:26:30,423
- If we start our day
focusing on, you know,

509
00:26:30,423 --> 00:26:31,842
that good energy...

510
00:26:31,842 --> 00:26:34,718
Today's just a perfect day
for a triathlon.

511
00:26:34,718 --> 00:26:36,136
The sun's out.

512
00:26:36,136 --> 00:26:39,222
If we start our day
with that kind of a mindset...

513
00:26:39,222 --> 00:26:42,352
Believing that I actually have
a shot at winning a race.

514
00:26:42,352 --> 00:26:45,855
We can make the most
horrible day a decent day.

515
00:26:45,855 --> 00:26:47,856
- That's Siri Lindley,
who one has to say

516
00:26:47,856 --> 00:26:49,107
is looking a little fatigued.

517
00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:52,737
- I am going to use
this word leukemia

518
00:26:52,737 --> 00:26:56,490
and have it be something
that allows me to strengthen

519
00:26:56,490 --> 00:26:58,367
amidst the challenge.

520
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:02,538
What I'm imagining
in that moment is that point

521
00:27:02,538 --> 00:27:05,000
when you have to fricking go.

522
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,917
And when you're scared,
you're not gonna give up.

523
00:27:06,917 --> 00:27:08,502
You're just gonna find
your strength,

524
00:27:08,502 --> 00:27:10,922
you're gonna find your courage,
and you're gonna forge forward.

525
00:27:10,922 --> 00:27:12,923
Who says that I have to suffer?

526
00:27:12,923 --> 00:27:15,093
Who says that I have
to feel sick?

527
00:27:15,093 --> 00:27:16,845
- Of course it might get worse,
it might get better

528
00:27:16,845 --> 00:27:18,387
as she gradually warms up.

529
00:27:18,387 --> 00:27:21,597
- Okay, maybe she's not
the classic swimmer, cyclist,

530
00:27:21,597 --> 00:27:24,643
or runner,
but you put that mind in there

531
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:26,730
and her willpower in there,

532
00:27:26,730 --> 00:27:28,856
then you have something
very special.

533
00:27:28,856 --> 00:27:32,567
- Redefine what everybody thinks
you should be feeling

534
00:27:32,567 --> 00:27:34,194
going through
a certain experience.

535
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:42,162
- From the time
she did her first triathlon

536
00:27:42,162 --> 00:27:45,082
to the time she was doing
the circuit, the ITU circuit

537
00:27:45,082 --> 00:27:47,166
with the best people in
the world was like four years.

538
00:27:50,295 --> 00:27:52,547
- Really the only way
a triathlete can make money

539
00:27:52,547 --> 00:27:54,048
is if they're winning.

540
00:27:54,048 --> 00:27:58,845
Until you are winning,
you won't get sponsorship.

541
00:27:58,845 --> 00:28:01,012
But it's so hard to win

542
00:28:01,012 --> 00:28:04,099
without the support of sponsors.

543
00:28:04,099 --> 00:28:06,434
Ralph Lauren approached me.

544
00:28:06,434 --> 00:28:10,272
They have this RLX line,
it's their athletic line.

545
00:28:10,272 --> 00:28:13,777
And they wanted to sponsor me,
and I hadn't won anything yet.

546
00:28:13,777 --> 00:28:15,112
And I'm thinking, oh my God,

547
00:28:15,112 --> 00:28:17,071
like, this was
an incredible deal.

548
00:28:17,071 --> 00:28:20,700
They're offering, you know,
bikes and running shoes

549
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:22,951
and bonuses

550
00:28:22,951 --> 00:28:26,998
for if you place
in certain races and clothes.

551
00:28:26,998 --> 00:28:28,500
All the clothes I needed.

552
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,585
And I thought, my God, they're
offering me the sponsorship,

553
00:28:31,585 --> 00:28:33,962
and I'm not even good yet.

554
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:36,714
So I go to this meeting
in New York City

555
00:28:36,714 --> 00:28:39,093
to sign the contract.

556
00:28:39,093 --> 00:28:41,470
And at this point,
I'm just getting

557
00:28:41,470 --> 00:28:44,097
comfortable with being gay.

558
00:28:44,097 --> 00:28:49,186
More people know.
You know, I was dating a girl.

559
00:28:49,186 --> 00:28:52,647
And I get there
and at the end of the meeting

560
00:28:52,647 --> 00:28:53,857
before I'm gonna sign,
they said,

561
00:28:53,857 --> 00:28:56,359
there's just a couple things.

562
00:28:56,903 --> 00:28:59,571
Number one, you need
to grow your hair long.

563
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:03,407
And number two,
you need to get a boyfriend,

564
00:29:03,407 --> 00:29:07,497
because this is a very
family-oriented company

565
00:29:07,497 --> 00:29:09,082
and you need to fit the image.

566
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:13,251
And I sat there,
and in my mind I'm thinking,

567
00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:18,508
this sponsorship could propel me
to where I dream of going.

568
00:29:18,508 --> 00:29:22,053
And if I don't take it,
I may not make it.

569
00:29:23,261 --> 00:29:29,018
So I signed the contract,
I left that room,

570
00:29:29,018 --> 00:29:33,355
and I literally stomped
right back into my closet,

571
00:29:33,355 --> 00:29:36,067
slammed the door shut,

572
00:29:36,067 --> 00:29:38,862
and had to pretend
to be straight

573
00:29:38,862 --> 00:29:40,363
for the rest of my career.

574
00:29:42,031 --> 00:29:43,406
- In the mid-'90s,

575
00:29:43,406 --> 00:29:46,201
we get accepted
into the Olympics for 2000.

576
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:48,663
This is a sport that started
in '78,

577
00:29:48,663 --> 00:29:52,333
and not that long after '78,
we are in the Olympics.

578
00:29:52,333 --> 00:29:54,542
- It had never been in
the Olympics before.

579
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:56,962
They had like
the first ever Olympic trials.

580
00:29:59,007 --> 00:30:00,924
- I choked
at the Olympic trials,

581
00:30:00,924 --> 00:30:03,218
and I'm just beside myself.

582
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:07,347
And Loretta Harrop
comes up to me.

583
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:14,438
Loretta Harrop was the gutsiest,

584
00:30:14,438 --> 00:30:19,067
grittiest, most impressive

585
00:30:19,067 --> 00:30:20,778
triathlete out there.

586
00:30:20,778 --> 00:30:23,573
Not only was she
an extraordinary swimmer...

587
00:30:23,573 --> 00:30:25,115
- Loretta comes out first.

588
00:30:25,115 --> 00:30:29,744
- She would just push herself
to oblivion on the bike

589
00:30:29,744 --> 00:30:34,708
to where she would get two,
sometimes three minutes' gap

590
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:37,211
on everyone else in the race.

591
00:30:37,211 --> 00:30:38,922
And then she would just
run with all her heart

592
00:30:38,922 --> 00:30:41,257
to hold on to win.

593
00:30:41,257 --> 00:30:44,634
- As Loretta Harrop continues
to dominate the early stages

594
00:30:44,634 --> 00:30:46,220
of the ITU World Cup tour...

595
00:30:46,220 --> 00:30:49,347
- And I just thought
she was the coolest,

596
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:53,059
most awesome triathlete
on the circuit.

597
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:54,603
- You know,
I expected to win every race.

598
00:30:54,603 --> 00:30:57,022
Didn't expect second
and I didn't expect third

599
00:30:57,022 --> 00:30:58,522
- For us now,
there's no question

600
00:30:58,522 --> 00:31:01,903
that Loretta Harrop has been
sensational from the start.

601
00:31:01,903 --> 00:31:03,444
- I mean, I liked the pressure.

602
00:31:03,444 --> 00:31:05,365
I liked being
the world number one.

603
00:31:05,365 --> 00:31:07,407
I liked to be the one
that everyone had to beat.

604
00:31:07,407 --> 00:31:10,117
I liked to be the one
that they had to chase down.

605
00:31:10,117 --> 00:31:11,369
- Loretta's style is,

606
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:13,789
I'm going off the front,
and you gotta catch me.

607
00:31:13,789 --> 00:31:15,833
- Australia's Loretta Harrop,

608
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:19,545
a superb performance
in 1:59:45.

609
00:31:19,545 --> 00:31:23,257
- And Siri's style was,
I'm starting behind.

610
00:31:23,257 --> 00:31:26,176
I've gotta work my butt off
and catch you.

611
00:31:26,176 --> 00:31:29,346
- There we see Lindley
struggling with this early pace.

612
00:31:29,346 --> 00:31:30,472
- I didn't know her that well,

613
00:31:30,472 --> 00:31:32,849
but I could tell how bad
she wanted it.

614
00:31:32,849 --> 00:31:35,143
I could tell how bad
she'd work for it.

615
00:31:35,143 --> 00:31:40,147
- And she says, hey, I know
how bad you want this.

616
00:31:40,147 --> 00:31:43,067
You should come and train
with me, with my squad

617
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:44,319
and with Brett Sutton.

618
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:46,696
He's the best coach
in the world.

619
00:31:46,696 --> 00:31:48,240
There's no one as good as him.

620
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,741
I don't know if he'll take you,

621
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:51,242
but I'm gonna tell him
he should.

622
00:31:58,166 --> 00:31:59,710
- Oh, Brett Sutton.

623
00:31:59,710 --> 00:32:01,377
[laughs]

624
00:32:01,377 --> 00:32:04,882
Well, I can thank him because
I had a lot of amazing results.

625
00:32:04,882 --> 00:32:07,509
- There's a lot of different
coaching styles.

626
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:10,555
You have, you know,
the Brett Sutton style,

627
00:32:10,555 --> 00:32:13,390
which is like...

628
00:32:13,390 --> 00:32:17,436
he creates world champions,
but he also breaks people.

629
00:32:17,436 --> 00:32:19,688
- He was a coach
that was not spoken about.

630
00:32:19,688 --> 00:32:21,315
He was kind of taboo.

631
00:32:21,315 --> 00:32:23,025
People used to use
the expression, you know,

632
00:32:23,025 --> 00:32:24,567
he'll throw eggs
against the wall.

633
00:32:24,567 --> 00:32:26,988
Whichever one doesn't break,
well, there's your champion.

634
00:32:26,988 --> 00:32:29,990
- He basically either produced
the world's best

635
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,825
or they were injured and broken.

636
00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:32,992
- Don't look to the side.

637
00:32:32,992 --> 00:32:34,369
Don't talk
to anyone else at a race.

638
00:32:34,369 --> 00:32:36,372
Don't say hi.
Don't hang out with friends.

639
00:32:36,372 --> 00:32:39,666
Don't go out for dinner.
Don't socialize.

640
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:42,336
Don't be around your mother
'cause she loves you too much.

641
00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:46,298
It sounds crazy,
it sounds almost cultish,

642
00:32:46,298 --> 00:32:49,218
but I think that's what
he thought it was gonna take.

643
00:32:49,218 --> 00:32:51,470
- So you've seen all the thing...
oh, he's a hard man.

644
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:54,057
He's this, he's that,
he's...blah, blah, blah.

645
00:32:54,057 --> 00:32:56,474
I like that,
because it filters out

646
00:32:56,474 --> 00:32:58,853
all the softies from coming
to my place.

647
00:32:58,853 --> 00:33:01,105
I just knock out 80%

648
00:33:01,105 --> 00:33:02,731
of the people that are
kidding themselves.

649
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:06,152
I used to roll out
all the champs,

650
00:33:06,152 --> 00:33:07,403
say, look at these people.

651
00:33:07,403 --> 00:33:09,154
You know what they did,
and what did they do?

652
00:33:10,365 --> 00:33:12,950
They shut up and did
what I told them.

653
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:16,577
- Seventh round of the World Cup
tour has gone to Loretta Harrop.

654
00:33:16,577 --> 00:33:19,457
A dominating performance
and emphatic victory.

655
00:33:19,457 --> 00:33:21,791
- A lot of people were scared
to come over to Brett.

656
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:25,295
I just said to her that if
she did want it that bad,

657
00:33:25,295 --> 00:33:27,339
then she should come
no matter what.

658
00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:29,633
- She drove me insane,
Loretta Harrop.

659
00:33:29,633 --> 00:33:31,676
She just said,
you know, I have a friend,

660
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:33,095
I think she could be better.

661
00:33:33,095 --> 00:33:34,762
[laughter]

662
00:33:34,762 --> 00:33:37,642
I said no about six times,
if we wanna be honest.

663
00:33:37,642 --> 00:33:40,102
Well I said to Loretta
on the sixth time, I said,

664
00:33:40,102 --> 00:33:41,728
look, I'm gonna tell you
something.

665
00:33:41,728 --> 00:33:43,271
If I bring her in

666
00:33:43,271 --> 00:33:46,942
and do what I think I can do,
she's gonna beat you.

667
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:48,484
And she said, bring it on.

668
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:52,948
- And it was literally, like,
a week later

669
00:33:52,948 --> 00:33:54,907
I moved to Switzerland.

670
00:33:54,907 --> 00:33:56,785
I'm in customs
waiting for my bag.

671
00:33:56,785 --> 00:34:00,163
And on the other side
of the glass is Brett Sutton.

672
00:34:00,163 --> 00:34:01,789
- I told her to retire.

673
00:34:01,789 --> 00:34:04,667
Forget all the people
behind her, before and after.

674
00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:06,295
We're starting afresh.

675
00:34:06,295 --> 00:34:08,672
It's a new...this is
a second part of your career.

676
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:10,800
- And he says, okay, well,
you're gonna go do

677
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,927
a win trainer session
down with Loretta Harrop.

678
00:34:14,927 --> 00:34:16,512
I see Loretta.

679
00:34:16,512 --> 00:34:19,432
I'm like, oh, you know,
thank God someone that I know,

680
00:34:19,432 --> 00:34:22,728
someone that can, like,
gimme some encouragement.

681
00:34:22,728 --> 00:34:24,980
Doesn't even look up.
- When she first came over,

682
00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:28,818
I think she's expecting that
we were gonna be best friends,

683
00:34:28,818 --> 00:34:30,695
and I wasn't really like that.

684
00:34:30,695 --> 00:34:32,987
I invited her over
to start her journey,

685
00:34:32,987 --> 00:34:36,782
to see if she could, you know,
make something at triathlon.

686
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:40,454
- We were meant to ride
our bikes down to the bottom

687
00:34:40,454 --> 00:34:45,000
of the mountain, 20-something-K
ride down to the pool.

688
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,460
We did the swim session

689
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:49,172
that was bigger than any session
I've ever done in my life.

690
00:34:51,007 --> 00:34:55,010
Every single lap was just
flat-out hard.

691
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:58,347
I get out of the pool when we're
done and I walk my bike out,

692
00:34:58,347 --> 00:35:00,222
and Loretta is there,
and I said,

693
00:35:00,222 --> 00:35:03,518
okay, so does Brett, like...
does he pick us up?

694
00:35:03,518 --> 00:35:05,688
Where do we go to get the van?

695
00:35:05,688 --> 00:35:07,815
And she looked at me
and just started laughing

696
00:35:07,815 --> 00:35:10,025
like, ride home.

697
00:35:10,025 --> 00:35:12,027
And that's like the Swiss Alps.

698
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:17,242
It's steep, it's like a wall,
and I'm just about to cry.

699
00:35:17,242 --> 00:35:21,577
And I'll never forget,
she said, go with Jane.

700
00:35:21,577 --> 00:35:22,746
Jane sucks.

701
00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:26,958
And I found Jane,

702
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:29,878
and Jane just dropped me
within the first five minutes.

703
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:35,382
So I was the worst athlete
in the entire squad.

704
00:35:35,382 --> 00:35:37,387
I got my butt kicked.

705
00:35:37,387 --> 00:35:40,347
- Now, it takes a long time
to do the possible.

706
00:35:40,347 --> 00:35:42,516
It takes a little longer
to do the impossible.

707
00:35:42,516 --> 00:35:44,893
If you're not here to do
the impossible,

708
00:35:44,893 --> 00:35:46,478
don't waste my time.

709
00:35:48,771 --> 00:35:50,065
- One day I went up to him

710
00:35:50,065 --> 00:35:52,902
'cause I couldn't bend
my legs, my arms.

711
00:35:52,902 --> 00:35:54,195
I was stiff as a board.

712
00:35:54,195 --> 00:35:57,532
And I said, Brett, I can't do

713
00:35:57,532 --> 00:35:59,242
what you're asking me
to do today.

714
00:35:59,242 --> 00:36:01,784
I can't bend my knees.
I can't bend my arms.

715
00:36:01,784 --> 00:36:03,077
I need a day off.

716
00:36:03,077 --> 00:36:05,914
He looked at the door as if
to say, well, you can go home.

717
00:36:07,081 --> 00:36:10,085
And he said, find a way.

718
00:36:10,085 --> 00:36:12,463
[electric guitar music]

719
00:36:12,463 --> 00:36:14,090
- These are born killers.

720
00:36:14,090 --> 00:36:16,632
She's with people who've been
swimming all their lives,

721
00:36:16,632 --> 00:36:18,760
and she just had
to get better every single day

722
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,427
just to keep up.

723
00:36:24,349 --> 00:36:26,268
- Here we create the atmosphere

724
00:36:26,268 --> 00:36:28,144
where winning becomes
inevitable.

725
00:36:28,144 --> 00:36:30,063
I don't care
if you don't feel great,

726
00:36:30,063 --> 00:36:32,442
I wanna see your effort.

727
00:36:32,442 --> 00:36:35,612
- And I kept thinking to myself,
this is how people train?

728
00:36:35,612 --> 00:36:39,114
No wonder, no wonder I haven't
gotten where I wanna go

729
00:36:39,114 --> 00:36:40,447
because this is insane.

730
00:36:40,447 --> 00:36:42,452
Like, I can't do this.

731
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:48,248
And every single day
he would give me these tasks

732
00:36:48,248 --> 00:36:50,291
that seemed impossible.

733
00:36:51,876 --> 00:36:53,963
- And I'd be standing there
saying, you can do this.

734
00:36:53,963 --> 00:36:56,090
She'd go, I can't do it.
Oh God, it's killing me.

735
00:36:56,090 --> 00:36:57,425
[wailing]

736
00:36:57,425 --> 00:37:00,385
You can do it.
And she'd break through.

737
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:02,262
And that'd give her confidence.

738
00:37:02,804 --> 00:37:06,974
- So the first race was
the Hungary World Cup.

739
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:10,646
- So away they go then,
30 competitors in all.

740
00:37:10,646 --> 00:37:14,400
- I was so stiff, I was so sore,
I was so exhausted.

741
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,277
So I had no expectations.

742
00:37:16,277 --> 00:37:17,652
- There's Loretta Harrop
at the front,

743
00:37:17,652 --> 00:37:19,987
and she hasn't even got her feet
in her shoes at the moment.

744
00:37:23,824 --> 00:37:25,994
Siri Lindley of the USA
pushing on hard.

745
00:37:27,329 --> 00:37:29,331
Here come the chase pack
through there,

746
00:37:29,331 --> 00:37:31,666
and Siri Lindley's still
at the front of that.

747
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:34,545
- I couldn't expect anything
'cause I was so sore.

748
00:37:34,545 --> 00:37:36,755
And I got out there
and I was free.

749
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:39,425
- Third place, Siri Lindley
of the USA,

750
00:37:39,425 --> 00:37:40,760
catching hard, as you can see.

751
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,969
She's not far off.
On you go, girl.

752
00:37:47,391 --> 00:37:51,853
- And imagine the confidence
that that gave me to know

753
00:37:51,853 --> 00:37:53,813
how bad I felt

754
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:57,108
but having the best race
of my entire career.

755
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:59,527
- She wanted to test herself
and see where she was at.

756
00:37:59,527 --> 00:38:02,030
- But it's gonna be
Loretta Harrop waving the flag,

757
00:38:02,030 --> 00:38:03,032
the fans going wild.

758
00:38:03,032 --> 00:38:05,909
- I got the win that day
and Siri came in second.

759
00:38:05,909 --> 00:38:08,036
- Second place,
a delighted Siri Lindley

760
00:38:08,036 --> 00:38:10,038
of the USA, her first podium.

761
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:13,875
- That's the first podium
I ever had at a World Cup race.

762
00:38:13,875 --> 00:38:16,628
Today when I realized
that I had it,

763
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:19,047
it was one
of the greatest moments ever.

764
00:38:19,047 --> 00:38:20,590
It was like in that moment

765
00:38:20,590 --> 00:38:24,927
after that race where I let go
of my fear of not belonging

766
00:38:24,927 --> 00:38:27,347
that I had proved to myself
that I have what it takes

767
00:38:27,347 --> 00:38:29,307
to belong in this group

768
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:32,936
of such high caliber athletes.

769
00:38:32,936 --> 00:38:35,773
My second World Cup race
was Lausanne, Switzerland.

770
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:42,195
Now, I had been modeling
Michellie Jones for a long time.

771
00:38:42,697 --> 00:38:45,949
And if I could stay
on Michellie Jones's feet,

772
00:38:45,949 --> 00:38:47,659
that was gonna put me
in a great position

773
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:49,452
because I knew that every race,

774
00:38:49,452 --> 00:38:51,538
Michellie Jones is going
for the win.

775
00:38:51,538 --> 00:38:55,541
So my plan became,
learn how to race to win.

776
00:38:56,793 --> 00:38:58,753
- So away they go
from the pontoon.

777
00:38:58,753 --> 00:39:02,425
It's a small field but
a big event, and away they go.

778
00:39:04,052 --> 00:39:05,427
- I was relentless.

779
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:09,597
All I'm doing is giving
everything I have

780
00:39:09,597 --> 00:39:10,932
to hold onto the bubbles

781
00:39:10,932 --> 00:39:13,351
and the feet of the person
in front of me.

782
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:14,728
And I got on Michellie's feet

783
00:39:14,728 --> 00:39:17,398
and I came out of the swim
on her feet.

784
00:39:17,398 --> 00:39:19,525
- Siri Lindley
is into transition,

785
00:39:19,525 --> 00:39:20,985
but here come the rest of them.

786
00:39:20,985 --> 00:39:24,612
- Now we're gonna be
in the same bike pack.

787
00:39:24,612 --> 00:39:27,114
- Michellie Jones hits
the front of the chase pack,

788
00:39:27,114 --> 00:39:29,577
driving this pack forward now.

789
00:39:29,577 --> 00:39:30,827
But she's really pushing here.

790
00:39:30,827 --> 00:39:32,871
Michellie Jones now leading
the chase pack.

791
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:34,831
- Can we get off the bike
together?

792
00:39:34,831 --> 00:39:37,876
- Michellie Jones
and Siri Lindley.

793
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:40,295
- I'm running, like,
side by side with her,

794
00:39:40,295 --> 00:39:43,257
and for the first time ever
I'm like,

795
00:39:43,257 --> 00:39:44,800
this is too slow for me.

796
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,637
- Siri Lindley, look at her go.
This is fast pace.

797
00:39:47,637 --> 00:39:50,429
- And suddenly I'm leading
this World Cup race.

798
00:39:50,429 --> 00:39:53,391
Like this is everything
that I've dreamed of

799
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:54,768
night after night after night.

800
00:39:54,768 --> 00:39:56,853
- Siri Lindley is on a fly
at the moment.

801
00:39:56,853 --> 00:39:58,146
Michellie Jones has got
no answer.

802
00:39:58,146 --> 00:40:00,900
She's gone past Mesmer
to go into third place.

803
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:02,610
- There was nothing nasty
about her.

804
00:40:02,610 --> 00:40:04,487
She was as soft as butter.

805
00:40:04,487 --> 00:40:06,155
But it gave me the confidence
and the belief

806
00:40:06,155 --> 00:40:08,489
that I could turn her
into a real kickass athlete

807
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:09,824
- And it is gonna be
Siri Lindley.

808
00:40:09,824 --> 00:40:11,492
What a moment for her career.

809
00:40:11,492 --> 00:40:13,661
The first ITU win for her.

810
00:40:13,661 --> 00:40:17,248
Second last week and first
this week, she is ecstatic.

811
00:40:17,248 --> 00:40:19,000
- Oh my God.

812
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,503
Maybe it wasn't the skill,
maybe it wasn't the ability,

813
00:40:21,503 --> 00:40:23,880
but man, I had the grit,
I had the desire,

814
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,552
I had the dedication,
and I belonged.

815
00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:30,344
I'm meant to be up there.

816
00:40:30,804 --> 00:40:33,306
And today was just
a total challenge to see

817
00:40:33,306 --> 00:40:34,849
just how far I could go.

818
00:40:34,849 --> 00:40:37,603
And when I crossed that line,
I knew that it wasn't a dream

819
00:40:37,603 --> 00:40:39,688
and it was reality,
and I'm just so happy

820
00:40:39,688 --> 00:40:41,106
I could cry again.

821
00:40:42,356 --> 00:40:44,610
I'm starting to feel confident.

822
00:40:45,193 --> 00:40:48,072
But the most important thing is,
Brett is still

823
00:40:48,072 --> 00:40:49,532
hammering me in training.

824
00:40:50,824 --> 00:40:53,327
- Yeah, you won.
I didn't like your race.

825
00:40:53,327 --> 00:40:54,702
What do you mean? I won!

826
00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:56,829
I said that wasn't
the best you can do.

827
00:40:58,456 --> 00:41:00,083
So for me,
it's not a win for me.

828
00:41:01,251 --> 00:41:02,878
- Brett, there's no question.

829
00:41:02,878 --> 00:41:05,505
He was really a tough,
tough coach.

830
00:41:05,505 --> 00:41:07,632
And even with his toughness

831
00:41:07,632 --> 00:41:10,217
and his relentlessness,

832
00:41:10,217 --> 00:41:13,597
he somehow built her psyche

833
00:41:13,597 --> 00:41:17,768
to where she believed
she could be the very best.

834
00:41:17,768 --> 00:41:21,521
- He sees something in people
they don't see in themselves.

835
00:41:21,521 --> 00:41:22,981
And he saw something in Siri,

836
00:41:22,981 --> 00:41:24,400
and I don't think he saw it
right away,

837
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,360
but I think he was able to look

838
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,780
beneath the surface

839
00:41:29,780 --> 00:41:34,202
and realize the drive
that she had.

840
00:41:34,202 --> 00:41:36,619
- To go from not really knowing
how to swim

841
00:41:36,619 --> 00:41:39,956
to saying I want be the best
triathlete in the world,

842
00:41:39,956 --> 00:41:41,083
that's a big ask.

843
00:41:41,083 --> 00:41:42,918
- And amazingly
Siri Lindley right up there,

844
00:41:42,918 --> 00:41:44,753
really brilliant swim by her.

845
00:41:44,753 --> 00:41:47,590
- Well, Siri Lindley now
leading that first pack.

846
00:41:47,590 --> 00:41:49,550
Siri Lindley just
running away now

847
00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:51,010
already from the rest
of the field.

848
00:41:51,010 --> 00:41:53,262
- There's always those
turning points in our life

849
00:41:53,262 --> 00:41:55,429
where maybe you see possibility

850
00:41:55,429 --> 00:41:57,849
but you have no guarantee,
of course,

851
00:41:57,849 --> 00:42:00,143
but you know you have
to pursue it anyway.

852
00:42:00,143 --> 00:42:04,606
That never give up comes from
the tough moments in life,

853
00:42:04,606 --> 00:42:06,650
points where you were
beaten down a little bit

854
00:42:06,650 --> 00:42:08,943
and you had to pick up
the pieces,

855
00:42:08,943 --> 00:42:11,780
points where you fell short
of something that you wanted

856
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:13,489
and you didn't get it,

857
00:42:13,489 --> 00:42:16,867
points where you felt like you
were ready for something great

858
00:42:16,867 --> 00:42:19,246
and it was pulled
from your hand.

859
00:42:19,246 --> 00:42:22,039
- For me, I go out in every race
just expecting

860
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:24,083
my biggest competitor
to be myself

861
00:42:24,083 --> 00:42:27,211
because I'm the only one
who has control over me.

862
00:42:27,211 --> 00:42:28,630
So I'll give it my best shot

863
00:42:28,630 --> 00:42:30,967
and we'll just see what happens.

864
00:42:30,967 --> 00:42:32,842
- Every single race
is a metaphor

865
00:42:32,842 --> 00:42:35,302
for how you overcome life.

866
00:42:35,302 --> 00:42:38,806
- I actually retired
from triathlon because of Siri.

867
00:42:38,806 --> 00:42:40,016
I don't know
if she even knows this,

868
00:42:40,016 --> 00:42:42,143
but I watched her move away
from home.

869
00:42:42,143 --> 00:42:43,644
I watched her move
to another country.

870
00:42:43,644 --> 00:42:45,438
I watched her leave
her family behind.

871
00:42:45,438 --> 00:42:47,148
- I lost my grandma yesterday.

872
00:42:47,148 --> 00:42:49,485
And so this was
very emotional for me

873
00:42:49,485 --> 00:42:53,655
because I just so wanted to go
out and just do it for her.

874
00:42:53,655 --> 00:42:55,614
- I watched her do sit-ups
every single night.

875
00:42:55,614 --> 00:42:57,742
- And we are looking
at Siri Lindley,

876
00:42:57,742 --> 00:43:00,202
who is steaming out in front
on the run shot.

877
00:43:00,202 --> 00:43:03,248
- And the dedication I saw,
I wanted no part of it.

878
00:43:03,248 --> 00:43:04,916
- Hopefully this will just be
the beginning

879
00:43:04,916 --> 00:43:06,876
of some more good things
to come.

880
00:43:08,670 --> 00:43:12,842
So I'm coming off of...
I think it was three wins,

881
00:43:12,842 --> 00:43:16,927
and I end up
at the world championships.

882
00:43:16,927 --> 00:43:18,262
- Edmonton has put out the call

883
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:21,016
and the finest female
triathletes have answered.

884
00:43:21,016 --> 00:43:22,182
- I don't even think
she was supposed to race

885
00:43:22,182 --> 00:43:23,809
the world championships,
and I remember her having

886
00:43:23,809 --> 00:43:26,021
a start number
in like the sixties,

887
00:43:26,021 --> 00:43:27,773
which means you don't get
your own start position

888
00:43:27,773 --> 00:43:29,733
on the pontoon.

889
00:43:29,733 --> 00:43:31,527
That would've probably
crumbled most athletes,

890
00:43:31,527 --> 00:43:32,987
but it fueled her.

891
00:43:32,987 --> 00:43:34,530
- You know, I'm trying not
to make it any different

892
00:43:34,530 --> 00:43:36,197
than any other race,
to be honest.

893
00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:39,702
And I know how big it is and
it is the world championships.

894
00:43:39,702 --> 00:43:41,619
But I think for me
it's better to just approach it

895
00:43:41,619 --> 00:43:43,288
as just another race.

896
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:46,625
- The women start from
a pontoon, they'll take one

897
00:43:46,625 --> 00:43:49,378
or two strides, and get
right into the swim.

898
00:43:50,878 --> 00:43:55,050
- So the race starts,
and I have a real bad start.

899
00:43:55,050 --> 00:43:58,012
- And it's been said
many times in triathlon

900
00:43:58,012 --> 00:44:01,389
that you can't win an event
in the swim,

901
00:44:01,389 --> 00:44:02,849
but you can certainly lose it.

902
00:44:02,849 --> 00:44:05,434
- At that point,
the Americans really weren't

903
00:44:05,434 --> 00:44:06,853
that great on the world scene.

904
00:44:06,853 --> 00:44:09,440
It was really the Aussies.
The Aussies had everybody.

905
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,940
- Well, year after year it seems

906
00:44:10,940 --> 00:44:12,442
that it tends to be
an Australian

907
00:44:12,442 --> 00:44:13,985
that's definitely on the podium.

908
00:44:13,985 --> 00:44:16,072
We've seen
seven of the last ten years,

909
00:44:16,072 --> 00:44:18,447
the world champion has come
from Australia.

910
00:44:18,447 --> 00:44:20,449
- You know, it was big
in our sport back then.

911
00:44:20,449 --> 00:44:22,744
It was just one day a year

912
00:44:22,744 --> 00:44:23,827
and you had to beat
everyone in the world

913
00:44:23,827 --> 00:44:25,288
that was there that day.

914
00:44:25,288 --> 00:44:27,916
- As the rest of the chase pack
starting to come out now.

915
00:44:27,916 --> 00:44:30,251
- And I get out of the water
far behind.

916
00:44:30,251 --> 00:44:31,961
- We're back
with the leaders again.

917
00:44:31,961 --> 00:44:34,213
Loretta Harrop, though, wanting
to push as hard as possible

918
00:44:34,213 --> 00:44:36,257
- In the past with a swim
like that,

919
00:44:36,257 --> 00:44:38,677
the meaning I would've given
that bad swim is,

920
00:44:38,677 --> 00:44:40,469
race is over.

921
00:44:40,469 --> 00:44:44,599
At this level, there's no way
you can catch back up

922
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:47,018
to the front
at a world championship.

923
00:44:47,018 --> 00:44:50,313
- Two years earlier
she would've let it go.

924
00:44:50,313 --> 00:44:51,481
This time she didn't.

925
00:44:51,481 --> 00:44:54,192
- We've had quite heavy rain
earlier this morning,

926
00:44:54,192 --> 00:44:57,277
but those dark ominous
looking clouds are moving in,

927
00:44:57,277 --> 00:44:58,862
so expect more rain.

928
00:44:58,862 --> 00:45:00,822
- And I got on my bike.

929
00:45:00,822 --> 00:45:03,784
I was just going harder
than I've ever gone.

930
00:45:03,784 --> 00:45:05,244
- The athlete in the middle
of the pack,

931
00:45:05,244 --> 00:45:07,329
that's Siri Lindley
from United States of America.

932
00:45:07,329 --> 00:45:09,458
She wasn't even in this event
a week ago.

933
00:45:09,458 --> 00:45:12,043
She had to get a wild card spot
just to get in here.

934
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:14,253
She is starting
to push the pace.

935
00:45:14,253 --> 00:45:15,963
- I caught the fourth pack
on the first lap,

936
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:17,882
the third pack
on the second lap.

937
00:45:17,882 --> 00:45:20,635
- And here comes our lead pack.

938
00:45:20,635 --> 00:45:23,347
Two Australians
in that lead pack,

939
00:45:23,347 --> 00:45:25,056
Harrop and Hackett.

940
00:45:25,056 --> 00:45:26,891
- And oh!
Oh, Hackett's gone down.

941
00:45:26,891 --> 00:45:29,184
The world champion is down.

942
00:45:29,184 --> 00:45:31,146
- I think I crashed in that one.

943
00:45:31,146 --> 00:45:36,318
- Harrop is up and on her bike,
but Hackett is down and out.

944
00:45:36,318 --> 00:45:39,070
- A disappointing end
for Nicole Hackett,

945
00:45:39,070 --> 00:45:40,987
the defending world champion.

946
00:45:40,987 --> 00:45:44,157
Again, this is the chase pack
behind the leaders

947
00:45:44,157 --> 00:45:47,452
and being led at this point
in time by Siri Lindley.

948
00:45:47,452 --> 00:45:49,163
[dramatic music]

949
00:45:49,163 --> 00:45:54,376
- She had the weapons on
the bike to make that gap up.

950
00:45:54,376 --> 00:45:56,255
- Now Loretta Harrop is
shaking her head,

951
00:45:56,255 --> 00:45:59,007
she's getting frustrated
that she can't get away.

952
00:45:59,007 --> 00:46:02,260
- And I would be very concerned
looking over my shoulder

953
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:05,597
to see Siri Lindley
or Michellie Jones.

954
00:46:05,597 --> 00:46:08,307
- Well, they're two of the
finest runners in the sport.

955
00:46:08,307 --> 00:46:12,394
- And on the last lap, I was
at the front of the race.

956
00:46:12,394 --> 00:46:15,731
- There's Siri Lindley,
normally very, very quick

957
00:46:15,731 --> 00:46:17,400
through transition.

958
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,693
- She came off the bike

959
00:46:18,693 --> 00:46:22,947
and she started the run,
and I'm like...

960
00:46:22,947 --> 00:46:24,322
- She is off and running.

961
00:46:24,322 --> 00:46:27,827
This is a terrific transition
from Siri Lindley.

962
00:46:27,827 --> 00:46:31,079
- And who's there
but Michellie Jones.

963
00:46:31,079 --> 00:46:32,833
And she looks at me
and she says,

964
00:46:32,833 --> 00:46:34,501
well, that was fucking stupid.

965
00:46:34,501 --> 00:46:37,128
You are gonna have no legs left
to run. What are you doing?

966
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:39,172
And I don't know
where this came from,

967
00:46:39,172 --> 00:46:42,257
but I took a deep breath
and I looked back at her

968
00:46:42,257 --> 00:46:45,552
and I said, hey, Michellie,
ready to run?

969
00:46:45,552 --> 00:46:48,681
- Michellie Jones,
the two-time world champion

970
00:46:48,681 --> 00:46:50,432
shoulder to shoulder
with Lindley.

971
00:46:50,432 --> 00:46:52,059
And it'll be Lindley first

972
00:46:52,059 --> 00:46:54,980
through transition
onto the 10K run.

973
00:46:54,980 --> 00:46:57,065
- See you later.
You know, it's bang!

974
00:46:59,568 --> 00:47:01,237
- I am at my max.

975
00:47:01,237 --> 00:47:02,987
I don't know
if I'm gonna be able

976
00:47:02,987 --> 00:47:04,864
to stand another five steps.

977
00:47:05,697 --> 00:47:07,282
Michellie was running beside me.

978
00:47:07,282 --> 00:47:10,577
Like, I could literally
feel her breath.

979
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:15,416
Somehow I dig deeper.

980
00:47:15,416 --> 00:47:17,835
- I do believe
Siri Lindley thinks

981
00:47:17,835 --> 00:47:19,211
that this race is destined
for her.

982
00:47:19,211 --> 00:47:20,922
She's got in on a wild card,

983
00:47:20,922 --> 00:47:23,257
she's in the best form ever
of her life.

984
00:47:23,257 --> 00:47:26,302
- And I keep running. I dig
deeper and deeper and deeper.

985
00:47:26,302 --> 00:47:30,597
I'm thinking that Michellie
must still be right on me.

986
00:47:30,597 --> 00:47:34,101
- That is a huge gap to put
that early into the race,

987
00:47:34,101 --> 00:47:36,271
particularly when you're
talking about somebody

988
00:47:36,271 --> 00:47:39,231
of the running stature
of Michellie Jones.

989
00:47:39,231 --> 00:47:41,277
- I'm looking
for that white hat,

990
00:47:41,277 --> 00:47:43,945
and the white hat just...pew!

991
00:47:43,945 --> 00:47:45,530
- The bell tolls
for Siri Lindley.

992
00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:47,282
And it's ringing that she's
gonna be the new world

993
00:47:47,282 --> 00:47:48,949
champion if she keeps this up.

994
00:47:48,949 --> 00:47:51,536
- And I yell at her,
you're gonna win!

995
00:47:51,536 --> 00:47:52,827
You're gonna win!

996
00:47:52,827 --> 00:47:55,789
- And like 10 feet later,
there's Brett,

997
00:47:55,789 --> 00:48:01,297
and he looks at me and he says,
you haven't won anything yet!

998
00:48:01,297 --> 00:48:05,132
- Siri Lindley has been lapping
some of the slower runners,

999
00:48:05,132 --> 00:48:07,092
and you see them move aside.

1000
00:48:07,092 --> 00:48:09,804
- Siri Lindley continues
to dominate at the front.

1001
00:48:09,804 --> 00:48:11,972
The crowd really enjoying this.

1002
00:48:11,972 --> 00:48:14,141
- Here's the smile I've been
waiting for.

1003
00:48:14,141 --> 00:48:16,226
It's Siri Lindley.

1004
00:48:16,226 --> 00:48:18,146
Will go in front
of the grandstand

1005
00:48:18,146 --> 00:48:20,815
for the finishing few meters.

1006
00:48:20,815 --> 00:48:23,943
She has her hands
on the American flag.

1007
00:48:23,943 --> 00:48:26,237
Just a few meters to go now,

1008
00:48:26,237 --> 00:48:28,822
and it's a world championship

1009
00:48:28,822 --> 00:48:32,202
for Siri Lindley
of the United States.

1010
00:48:32,202 --> 00:48:35,204
- I can't even put it
into words.

1011
00:48:35,204 --> 00:48:38,625
- It was like a shark
with no teeth.

1012
00:48:38,625 --> 00:48:39,668
But we put the teeth on it.

1013
00:48:41,336 --> 00:48:45,215
- World champion Siri Lindley.

1014
00:48:48,510 --> 00:48:53,222
Maybe you just got lucky.
Maybe it was a fluke.

1015
00:48:53,222 --> 00:48:58,103
That is the only reason why
I stuck around for another year.

1016
00:49:00,980 --> 00:49:03,400
Being an athlete is exhausting.

1017
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,362
Being an athlete in the closet
is even more exhausting.

1018
00:49:10,657 --> 00:49:13,867
- You're constantly evaluating
a situation.

1019
00:49:13,867 --> 00:49:16,161
Do people know?
Are they gonna find out?

1020
00:49:16,161 --> 00:49:17,829
What's gonna happen
if they find out?

1021
00:49:17,829 --> 00:49:20,541
- Siri Lindley getting
the full support of the crowd

1022
00:49:20,541 --> 00:49:21,543
as she strikes towards

1023
00:49:21,543 --> 00:49:24,045
yet another victory
in this historic year.

1024
00:49:24,045 --> 00:49:26,213
The American has been
untouchable really.

[cheers and applause]

1196
00:57:23,023 --> 00:57:24,525
- I'll tell you
in just one sentence.

1197
00:57:24,525 --> 00:57:26,360
This woman didn't know
how to swim

1198
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,155
and decided she wanted to become
the world's greatest triathlete.

1199
00:57:29,155 --> 00:57:30,489
- Whoo!

1200
00:57:30,489 --> 00:57:31,532
- And when we got on the phone,

1201
00:57:31,532 --> 00:57:33,032
there was just
this instant connection.

1202
00:57:33,032 --> 00:57:35,827
It was like we've known
each other for years.

1203
00:57:35,827 --> 00:57:38,664
- Thank you, Tony.
- And she's got so much joy

1204
00:57:38,664 --> 00:57:40,833
and so much love
and she's such a giver

1205
00:57:40,833 --> 00:57:43,210
that she became
part of our chosen family.

1206
00:57:43,210 --> 00:57:46,005
- I tell you what,

1207
00:57:46,005 --> 00:57:49,425
it wasn't about becoming
the world champion.

1208
00:57:49,425 --> 00:57:51,177
- Everybody falls in love
with Siri.

1209
00:57:51,177 --> 00:57:55,597
- When I found my holy grail,
my beautiful wife Rebekah.

1210
00:57:55,597 --> 00:57:57,766
[cheers and applause]

1211
00:57:57,766 --> 00:57:59,726
- Her passion is just gorgeous.

1212
00:57:59,726 --> 00:58:02,563
And I always love
when she shares at the event...

1213
00:58:02,563 --> 00:58:05,023
- I got a phone call
from my father.

1214
00:58:05,023 --> 00:58:07,610
- But there's a process that
we actually do with every one

1215
00:58:07,610 --> 00:58:09,902
of those events, and it's called
the blame process.

1216
00:58:09,902 --> 00:58:12,239
- And when he finally found
his words, he said,

1217
00:58:12,239 --> 00:58:14,782
somebody told me you are gay.

1218
00:58:14,782 --> 00:58:16,994
- And if you're busy blaming
somebody for all your problems,

1219
00:58:16,994 --> 00:58:18,036
my theory is...

1220
00:58:18,036 --> 00:58:21,164
- We also need to blame them
for the good.

1221
00:58:21,164 --> 00:58:22,666
- And Tony said, I want you

1222
00:58:22,666 --> 00:58:25,253
to thank the person
that hurt you the most.

1223
00:58:25,253 --> 00:58:26,922
- She ran outta the room.

1224
00:58:26,922 --> 00:58:29,172
- And I looked on the curb
and she's on the phone,

1225
00:58:29,172 --> 00:58:31,050
and I could hear her dad's voice
and I was like...

1226
00:58:31,050 --> 00:58:33,092
- Oh my God, I didn't know
if I expected him

1227
00:58:33,092 --> 00:58:34,677
to actually answer.

1228
00:58:34,677 --> 00:58:39,599
And I said,
Dad, you broke my heart

1229
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:42,478
in a million pieces.

1230
00:58:42,478 --> 00:58:45,021
I wanna forgive you and I...

1231
00:58:45,021 --> 00:58:49,777
- Wanna thank you
for being the father...

1232
00:58:49,777 --> 00:58:53,322
- I needed you to be,
to become the woman

1233
00:58:53,322 --> 00:58:57,284
that I'm so proud to be today.

1234
00:58:57,284 --> 00:59:00,954
[soft music]

1235
00:59:00,954 --> 00:59:03,750
- What was beautiful
when she called,

1236
00:59:03,750 --> 00:59:05,793
you know, you realize how much

1237
00:59:05,793 --> 00:59:08,880
you really want
to build on this.

1238
00:59:10,922 --> 00:59:13,717
Her marriage is to die for.

1239
00:59:14,677 --> 00:59:17,637
That should be everybody's goal,

1240
00:59:17,637 --> 00:59:22,559
to just be able to share
something like that.

1241
00:59:25,019 --> 00:59:26,813
- And so one of the great
moments for me was, you know,

1242
00:59:26,813 --> 00:59:29,025
about a year later and I
looked down in the front row

1243
00:59:29,025 --> 00:59:30,150
and there's Siri with her daddy

1244
00:59:30,150 --> 00:59:32,195
and they're just hugging
each other.

1245
00:59:32,195 --> 00:59:33,527
And that's Siri, right?

1246
00:59:33,527 --> 00:59:35,112
Feeling that love
with each other

1247
00:59:35,112 --> 00:59:36,657
and binding together
with a sense

1248
00:59:36,657 --> 00:59:38,324
of certainty about
a compelling future.

1249
00:59:46,625 --> 00:59:50,086
- It was November, 2019.

1250
00:59:50,086 --> 00:59:54,132
She had gone in
for a routine blood test

1251
00:59:54,132 --> 00:59:56,885
because she was told she needed
a double hip replacement.

1252
00:59:56,885 --> 00:59:58,344
So I said,
but why are you so wanting

1253
00:59:58,344 --> 01:00:00,012
to get it done so quickly?

1254
01:00:00,012 --> 01:00:01,514
She said,
because I wanna be able

1255
01:00:01,514 --> 01:00:03,016
to dance
on the Tony Robbins stage,

1256
01:00:03,016 --> 01:00:04,351
and if I'm in a wheelchair,
I'm not gonna be able

1257
01:00:04,351 --> 01:00:05,603
to do my Siri dance.

1258
01:00:07,355 --> 01:00:09,148
- She went probably five days

1259
01:00:09,148 --> 01:00:13,862
before the surgery was scheduled
for her pre-op,

1260
01:00:13,862 --> 01:00:16,530
and they of course took blood.

1261
01:00:16,530 --> 01:00:20,199
Her white cell count was down
to practically nothing.

1262
01:00:22,869 --> 01:00:25,121
And the doctor came out
and said,

1263
01:00:25,121 --> 01:00:29,210
we can't do anything
until you have this checked.

1264
01:00:29,751 --> 01:00:33,047
- The doctor called,
and I'll never forget this,

1265
01:00:33,047 --> 01:00:36,592
they said, we need to inform you

1266
01:00:36,592 --> 01:00:38,802
that you have
acute myeloid leukemia.

1267
01:00:38,802 --> 01:00:40,679
- You have
acute myeloid leukemia.

1268
01:00:40,679 --> 01:00:44,016
- Acute myeloid leukemia.

1269
01:00:44,016 --> 01:00:47,894
- I'm gonna focus
on all the beautiful things

1270
01:00:47,894 --> 01:00:50,398
that will come from this

1271
01:00:50,398 --> 01:00:54,193
and I'm gonna focus also
on sharing this with you.

1272
01:00:54,193 --> 01:00:59,032
No matter what I end up
looking like as the weeks go by

1273
01:00:59,032 --> 01:01:03,702
or what I end up feeling like
when the weeks go by,

1274
01:01:03,702 --> 01:01:06,163
I will be here for you

1275
01:01:06,163 --> 01:01:10,333
because I'm gonna have you
learn and grow

1276
01:01:10,333 --> 01:01:11,876
on this journey through me.

1277
01:01:14,380 --> 01:01:16,047
- It is a blood cancer

1278
01:01:16,047 --> 01:01:18,927
and it's a cancer
of the bone marrow.

1279
01:01:20,552 --> 01:01:23,054
- It's bad luck.

1280
01:01:23,054 --> 01:01:26,224
It's like a lightning bolt
comes out of the blue,

1281
01:01:26,224 --> 01:01:30,061
completely disrupts
and blows up a person's life,

1282
01:01:30,061 --> 01:01:32,481
needs to be addressed
immediately.

1283
01:01:32,481 --> 01:01:36,610
And it's incredibly unfair
and incredibly difficult.

1284
01:01:36,610 --> 01:01:38,112
- This isn't my time to go.

1285
01:01:38,112 --> 01:01:41,407
I've got everything I've ever
dreamed of having in my life.

1286
01:01:42,949 --> 01:01:45,202
I'm not having that
taken away from me.

1287
01:01:46,744 --> 01:01:48,371
This journey begins

1288
01:01:48,371 --> 01:01:52,335
and it's going to be
the biggest challenge

1289
01:01:52,335 --> 01:01:54,795
of my life by far.

1290
01:01:57,422 --> 01:02:02,177
- How does an athlete that is
so healthy, that eats so well,

1291
01:02:02,177 --> 01:02:04,304
that takes such good care
of her body,

1292
01:02:04,304 --> 01:02:08,809
that is such a good person...
like, why?

1293
01:02:08,809 --> 01:02:10,978
All I could think of was,
why her?

1294
01:02:12,563 --> 01:02:16,650
- This disease has the capacity
to take a person's life

1295
01:02:16,650 --> 01:02:19,487
days after they were diagnosed.

1296
01:02:19,487 --> 01:02:22,989
There was a much likelier chance

1297
01:02:22,989 --> 01:02:25,407
of her dying from her disease
than surviving.

1298
01:02:27,994 --> 01:02:32,500
- Savannah is the first horse

1299
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:34,668
that I rescued.

1300
01:02:34,668 --> 01:02:37,086
The day I had to leave
for the hospital,

1301
01:02:37,086 --> 01:02:40,172
I had tears streaming down
my face.

1302
01:02:40,172 --> 01:02:43,177
I'm gonna be back riding you,
Savannah, I'm gonna be back.

1303
01:02:43,177 --> 01:02:45,177
I love you. I'm thinking of you.

1304
01:02:48,514 --> 01:02:50,851
- We know that Siri is sick.

1305
01:02:50,851 --> 01:02:52,353
We know that she has cancer,

1306
01:02:52,353 --> 01:02:54,188
but we don't know is,
what level.

1307
01:02:54,188 --> 01:02:58,525
- Part of me was like, what?
Siri? Like, she's gonna be fine.

1308
01:02:58,525 --> 01:03:01,320
It's Siri...like, she's
the most positive, upbeat.

1309
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:05,197
If anyone can beat this,
it's Siri.

1310
01:03:05,197 --> 01:03:07,367
But there's still the,
but what if she doesn't?

1311
01:03:07,367 --> 01:03:11,829
And, like, I can't not have her
in my life anymore.

1312
01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:15,291
Like, I just...I need her.

1313
01:03:17,085 --> 01:03:18,838
Oh.

1314
01:03:18,838 --> 01:03:20,297
- Thought I have to accept this.

1315
01:03:20,297 --> 01:03:22,632
But I was like,
she's not going anywhere.

1316
01:03:22,632 --> 01:03:23,842
She's gonna survive this.

1317
01:03:23,842 --> 01:03:25,177
Like, I'm gonna be by her side

1318
01:03:25,177 --> 01:03:27,179
and I'm not gonna let her
leave me.

1319
01:03:28,387 --> 01:03:30,682
- Traditional way to treat
this disease is

1320
01:03:30,682 --> 01:03:34,519
to give an incredibly intensive
chemotherapy regimen.

1321
01:03:36,313 --> 01:03:39,567
There are many patients
who die not from their disease

1322
01:03:39,567 --> 01:03:40,902
but from this treatment.

1323
01:03:42,027 --> 01:03:44,322
She's the fittest person
on the planet.

1324
01:03:44,322 --> 01:03:46,407
No one in the world
could have withstood

1325
01:03:46,407 --> 01:03:48,867
intensive chemotherapy
better than her.

1326
01:03:48,867 --> 01:03:52,246
Why do that to someone
if you don't have to?

1327
01:03:52,246 --> 01:03:55,916
- And I had a genetic mutation

1328
01:03:55,916 --> 01:03:59,086
that apparently was not one
you wanna have.

1329
01:03:59,628 --> 01:04:03,007
But there just happened to be
this new clinical trial,

1330
01:04:03,007 --> 01:04:04,757
and everyone around me was kind
of looking,

1331
01:04:04,757 --> 01:04:06,052
like, nervous about that.

1332
01:04:06,052 --> 01:04:08,094
But for some reason I was like,
excellent.

1333
01:04:08,094 --> 01:04:09,554
I wanna hear about it.

1334
01:04:09,554 --> 01:04:12,266
- Clinical trial, like,
it's not even like guaranteed.

1335
01:04:12,266 --> 01:04:14,434
Like, a clinical trial.
Like, what is that?

1336
01:04:14,434 --> 01:04:16,436
- A clinical trial is
an experiment.

1337
01:04:16,436 --> 01:04:19,523
It's an experiment
that a patient volunteers

1338
01:04:19,523 --> 01:04:23,777
to participate in to get
a drug that is not available

1339
01:04:23,777 --> 01:04:25,402
through any conventional means.

1340
01:04:25,402 --> 01:04:27,489
- If you didn't do clinical
trials, you wouldn't get

1341
01:04:27,489 --> 01:04:29,157
any of these new drugs
that are out.

1342
01:04:29,157 --> 01:04:30,827
We would just keep throwing
the same stuff

1343
01:04:30,827 --> 01:04:31,909
at the same thing.

1344
01:04:31,909 --> 01:04:33,036
We gotta keep moving forward.

1345
01:04:33,036 --> 01:04:36,123
The diseases are.

1346
01:04:36,123 --> 01:04:39,210
- There's great hope that this
is going to be a treatment

1347
01:04:39,210 --> 01:04:44,797
that can finally heal people
of these kinds of cancers.

1348
01:04:45,340 --> 01:04:48,092
I'm willing to be the one
that gives it a try.

1349
01:04:49,387 --> 01:04:53,597
- She said, no, I wanna do
anything I possibly can.

1350
01:04:53,597 --> 01:04:55,809
I'm not afraid

1351
01:04:55,809 --> 01:04:58,019
- Without people like Siri,

1352
01:04:58,019 --> 01:05:00,438
we would not make
any progress in our field.

1353
01:05:00,438 --> 01:05:03,692
There's no possible way
we could move the ball forward

1354
01:05:03,692 --> 01:05:05,193
if we didn't have people
volunteer

1355
01:05:05,193 --> 01:05:07,152
for clinical trials.

1356
01:05:08,362 --> 01:05:13,077
- Hi,everyone.
It is December 9th, day one.

01:05:14,661 --> 01:05:18,498
And I'm all hooked up
to my healing tonic,

01:05:18,498 --> 01:05:21,918
I'm gonna call it.

1359
01:05:21,918 --> 01:05:24,130
Don't worry, I got this.

Yes, the statistics are
not great,

when I was 23 years old

and did everything the right way

1411

they still didn't make it.

- Well, a good portion
of this young lady's career,

1416
01:07:58,742 --> 01:08:00,117
she's had to play catch-up.

1417
01:08:00,117 --> 01:08:02,411
- Every lesson
that she's learned as a coach.

1418
01:08:02,411 --> 01:08:04,539
- Get back on your bike and go.
Come on.

- Every lesson that she's
learned in her private life

1420
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,503

- How does that work?

1423
01:08:16,217 --> 01:08:17,595
So it just pushes...
- Give it a nice little push.

1424
01:08:17,595 --> 01:08:20,471
Now twist. Push, twist.
There you go. Good job.

1425
01:08:20,471 --> 01:08:22,181
- But only three.
- I know.

1426
01:08:22,181 --> 01:08:24,226
- After the first month
of treatment,

1427
01:08:24,226 --> 01:08:27,688
we knew she was almost
in that complete remission,

1428
01:08:27,688 --> 01:08:29,814
and by two months of treatment
we were there.

1429
01:08:29,814 --> 01:08:33,984
- So I finished cycle one
of Dr. Pollyea's clinical trial.

1430
01:08:33,984 --> 01:08:35,694
- So you know what that means?

1431
01:08:35,694 --> 01:08:37,614
It means that my wife is
in remission.

1432
01:08:37,614 --> 01:08:40,242
- The critical thing there is,
all right, you're in remission.

1433
01:08:40,242 --> 01:08:42,953
How are you gonna get cured?

1434
01:08:42,953 --> 01:08:44,497
- If we did nothing more,

1435
01:08:44,497 --> 01:08:46,789
with near certainty,
the disease would be back.

1436
01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:50,502
- The plan is usually a bone
marrow transplant to cure you.

1437
01:08:50,502 --> 01:08:53,046
- Any patient who's diagnosed
with leukemia

1438
01:08:53,046 --> 01:08:56,382
and is facing a transplant
has their own incredible story

1439
01:08:56,382 --> 01:08:57,592
and their own difficulties.

1440
01:09:00,345 --> 01:09:03,765
- To all of you facing similar
challenges, I'm with you.

1441
01:09:03,765 --> 01:09:07,393
And we got this.
We're gonna get through this.

1442
01:09:07,393 --> 01:09:10,104
- Scarlet Callahan,
such a ray of light.

1443
01:09:10,104 --> 01:09:14,734
You know, when I first met her,
same diagnosis as Siri,

1444
01:09:14,734 --> 01:09:16,862
same clinical trial

1445
01:09:16,862 --> 01:09:19,739
- And also like Siri,
required transplant.

1446
01:09:24,203 --> 01:09:26,247
Scarlet developed

1447
01:09:26,247 --> 01:09:28,082
one of the most significant
complications

1448
01:09:28,082 --> 01:09:29,792
of transplant
in a significant way,

1449
01:09:29,792 --> 01:09:32,920
what we call acute graft
versus host disease.

1450
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,922
- The new cells that are
in the body are seeing

1451
01:09:35,922 --> 01:09:38,925
the host cells as foreign
and attacking them.

1452
01:09:41,427 --> 01:09:43,387
- And there were times
when it wasn't clear

1453
01:09:43,387 --> 01:09:44,931
which way it was gonna go.

1454
01:09:44,931 --> 01:09:47,601
- For any of you that are

1455
01:09:47,601 --> 01:09:50,728
faced with something
that is terrifying you

1456
01:09:50,728 --> 01:09:54,358
or bringing you to your knees,
this is for you too.

1457
01:09:56,652 --> 01:09:59,947
I know that I have been
so afraid at times

1458
01:09:59,947 --> 01:10:02,658
that I was stifled by my fear,

1459
01:10:02,658 --> 01:10:04,868
but I know
that I made it through that.

1460
01:10:07,453 --> 01:10:10,122
- We cannot sugarcoat things
for people.

1461
01:10:10,122 --> 01:10:12,710
They must know
what they're up against.

1462
01:10:12,710 --> 01:10:16,462
I mean, people who volunteer
for clinical trials are

1463
01:10:16,462 --> 01:10:18,131
just incredible people.

1464
01:10:18,131 --> 01:10:20,632
- They know they're making
a difference for other patients

1465
01:10:20,632 --> 01:10:22,551
just by being in that trial.

1466
01:10:22,551 --> 01:10:25,346
You know, the results
of what happens to them

1467
01:10:25,346 --> 01:10:27,306
could help somebody else.

1468
01:10:27,306 --> 01:10:28,641
- We are trying to answer
a question

1469
01:10:28,641 --> 01:10:29,976
we don't know the answer to yet.

1470
01:10:31,603 --> 01:10:34,606
These are the people who are
helping us find that answer.

1471
01:10:34,981 --> 01:10:40,153
- We really pray to God
I can have my transplant

1472
01:10:40,153 --> 01:10:43,698
and that transplant is going
to be what saves my life.

1473
01:10:43,698 --> 01:10:46,159
My mission is
to get through this

1474
01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:48,869
and to see you
on the other side.

1475
01:10:48,869 --> 01:10:51,207
- The chemo that they get
before transplant

1476
01:10:51,207 --> 01:10:54,292
is five days
of just hardcore chemo.

1477
01:10:54,292 --> 01:10:57,002
That's what makes them so sick.

1478
01:10:57,002 --> 01:11:01,800
- We need to literally bomb
your system to get rid of

1479
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,511
all your past system
to make room for the new cells.

1480
01:11:05,511 --> 01:11:07,137
- And then that's when they lose
their hair,

1481
01:11:07,137 --> 01:11:09,307
facial hair, everything.

1482
01:11:12,143 --> 01:11:18,399
- I had this fear that

1483
01:11:18,399 --> 01:11:23,697
Bek loved me
because I was a world champion.

1484
01:11:23,697 --> 01:11:26,658
I was strong, I was a great
coach, I was out doing things.

1485
01:11:26,658 --> 01:11:28,493
I was out making
a difference in the world.

1486
01:11:28,493 --> 01:11:30,703
I was working out every day.

1487
01:11:30,703 --> 01:11:31,787
I was strong

1488
01:11:31,787 --> 01:11:34,875
and I was overcoming,
you know, daily challenges

1489
01:11:34,875 --> 01:11:36,417
with fierceness.

1490
01:11:37,460 --> 01:11:41,381
And as I started getting weaker

1491
01:11:41,381 --> 01:11:45,967
and sicker,
I wasn't out kicking ass.

1492
01:11:45,967 --> 01:11:49,096
I wasn't out coaching.
I wasn't out achieving.

1493
01:11:49,096 --> 01:11:52,893
I wasn't out doing
all these things that I thought

1494
01:11:52,893 --> 01:11:55,395
were the reasons why
she fell in love with me.

1495
01:11:57,396 --> 01:11:59,442
And I thought, how could she
possibly wanna stick

1496
01:11:59,442 --> 01:12:01,402
around through this?

1497
01:12:01,402 --> 01:12:03,819
I'm losing my hair.
I'm losing weight.

1498
01:12:03,819 --> 01:12:06,907
I'm sick all the time.
I'm throwing up.

1499
01:12:06,907 --> 01:12:09,452
I'm in the hospital
with machines.

1500
01:12:09,452 --> 01:12:11,412
Who wants to go through this?

1501
01:12:12,119 --> 01:12:14,372
[laughs]

1502
01:12:14,372 --> 01:12:15,747
Doesn't change.

1503
01:12:15,747 --> 01:12:18,917
It didn't change anything
about her as a person.

1504
01:12:18,917 --> 01:12:20,002
I didn't even notice it.

1505
01:12:20,002 --> 01:12:21,421
I didn't really notice
the physical changes.

1506
01:12:21,421 --> 01:12:25,757
I know she was weak,
but she wasn't weak up here.

1507
01:12:25,757 --> 01:12:27,635
It actually made me love her
even more

1508
01:12:27,635 --> 01:12:30,096
if that was even possible.

1509
01:12:30,096 --> 01:12:31,472

So Siri's still...her hair's
growing back already.

1515
01:12:45,278 --> 01:12:48,198
And I have to say, I've never
seen anyone go through chemo

1516
01:12:48,198 --> 01:12:50,449

have eyebrows and eyelashes.

1517

My wife has somehow managed

that she's going to get

the result to say
that she's cured, so...
