This inspirational short documentary tells the unfathomable comeback story of Tim Don, the fastest Ironman triathlete of all time, after breaking his neck in a cycling crash. Coming just days before the Ironman World Championships, where Tim was a favorite to top the podium, the crash looked to have ended not only Tim's hopes of becoming World Champion, but potentially his career. Despite the long road to recovery ahead, Tim's resolve to fight for his dream was clear. Walk the comeback trail with Tim on a journey filled with bravery in the face of adversity, determination and, above all, inspiration.

The incredible resolve and courage to move past doubt, pain and potential 'failure' is the 'Divine Self' in action. . . Tim has the Heart of a Lion! In doing so, Tim Don impacted more brothers/sisters with his indomitable Spirit and Light that truly inspired so many bringing out the BEST in ALL of us . . . .a complete WIN/WIN of the highest order, allowing the God/Goddess within to Lead! Namaste!

LOVED the perseverance and life embracing attitude, and just rallying of support and good energy. Reminds me of research presented in the book "Changeology" that claimed the two greatest factors for success in a chosen (attainable :)) goal are 1) self-efficacy (belief in oneself) and 2) others believing in you (to accomplish that goal). Tim had both of those in spades, what a blessing; and what an inspiration to showcase that for others. Should be quite a special vibe in Kona this coming Oct 2018...
