In 2004 a recurring leg injury forced triathlete Andrew "Drew" Johnston to withdraw from the Ironman Lake Placid with 10 miles left in this race, something he never imagined possible. This injury led to a frightening diagnosis of Leukemia (CML). One year later, after the oral chemo Gleevac put his disease in remission, Drew began competing at an elite level again, and winning - but he had unfinished business, and his emotional return to Lake Placid serves as the backbone of this film. Throughout the grueling 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run, Drew retells his inspirational life story. Surprisingly funny interviews with family and friends provide more than the usual glimpse into the world of an elite athlete. Andrew Johnston overcomes the odds to challenge himself and to inspire others to live life to its fullest. He proves that our only limitations are the ones we set for ourselves.

Great inspirational story. The editing had to a nightmare, but it really pays off.
