Ironman Championships from Hawaii airs next weekend. This is the NBC trailer for the broadcast. At 50 seconds in two guys are hugging and crying, that would be my brothers :)

I was there and saw it in person anyways (and it was an AWESOME moment), but I can't see the video! Is it youtube? That's still banned from my work computer at the moment hah.

Yeah it's youtube.

That part of the live coverage was one of my favorites, having read BigMatt's story. I can just imagine how amazing it was for him to finish like that.

That was a good promo. Finally, one not oozing with overly-dramatic, manufactured cheesy schmaltz ("Cue the John Williams soaring violins . . . NOW!"). And btw, what was that swim move at :18-:19. Either those two guys butterflied the whole thing or that butterfly move was what the FOP guys use to get both hands on the bottom and push up . . . which I neither need to use or nor see from MOP.

My work has already been given the memo that the TV in the showroom will be tuned in so I can do nothing but watch TV for an hour and a half....

I believe those were the two pros who led out of the water.

Can't wait for the 13th. Watching Matt cross the finish line with Chris waiting for him was probably the coolest moment of the live broadcast.
