Congrats to Chris for being an inspiration and an ironman, but also shout out to those guides. The amount of patience and resilience those guys had to push Chris to a limit he didn't even know he could exceed. You could see the pain on Chris's face throughout the race, and his guide only gave him encouragement and positivity, helping him get through it. That's true heart right there.

This is astonishing. This is one of those cases where someone could have told him to give up and that doing this was out of his reach, and they would have been totally right in every single case. Except Chris'. Somebody like Chris doing something like this feels legitimately impossible, but here he is doing it. Not only that, he beat hundreds of people who either came in after him or didn't finish. Just insanely incredible.
