Triathlete Sacrifices race to help his Brother

No one remembers who won. Your brother will remember your sacrifice forever.

[@michaelhenry4405]

A world renowned triathlete and professional competitor Schoeman won. It was a great race. We all remember who won. Don't be ridiculous. There were even rule changes from this race. If you actually watched the race and interested in the sport during this time you wouldn't say something so ignorant. You probably couldn't even recite a single triathletes name from any country given the chance. You only remember the Brownlee brothers because of exactly that... They are brothers and that's the only thing you could remember about them. Lol.

[@TheSportsman1977]

@@michaelhenry4405 actually No. couldn’t have told you who won. But this I remember! Iconic moment in the sport. In the same way Eddie the Eagle won the hearts in the Winter Olympics years ago. No one remembers who won, unless you have a personal interest in the winner.

@@TheSportsman1977 when you are focused on what the media tells you and not the sport you'll remember the story for obvious reason. If you were actually interested and following the sport and the top athletes at the time you will remember them. I never once watched a single Lance Armstrong race not any cycling race but I can tell you who Lance Armstrong is because the media has imprinted that BS into my head. The winner of this race was a very competitive world renowned athlete. Henri Schoeman. If you were following the world series you would know that. If you are easily manipulated by media you would only know about the Brownlee brothers. Of which you don't know who is who nor would you know who helped who in this clip. Nor would you know anything else about them and their athletic achievements. That I am 100% confident of.

The fact he pushed his brother over the line before himself also, that’s real shit. Big props

Why would you expect anything other than that? As soon as he stopped running and helped his brother he put himself behind his brother. Of course he wouldn’t have crossed the line first after helping him get to it.

How this dude is complaining about 98 f****** degrees You seriously have to be s******* me I consistently have to keep up the same amount of physicality during my job as he does during a f****** marathon as anybody does doing a f****** marathon yet those marathon runners cannot easily transition into doing what I'm doing and continue to keep up with me throughout the entire day oh by all means anybody could start the day off doing the job that I have but it's about having to keep going all day lifting logs twice your own weight and heavier having to lift them above your head and throw them while above your head needs to be understood I weigh less than 140 lb yet I'm doing this with 280 plus and then having to breathe two-cycle motor fumes with a heat index of over 135 where I'm operating that saw having to breathe in the fumes so I'm not even getting good air into my body still continuing to do this 8 hours a day these people are absolutely b******* y'all should go and look up the marathon that happened in Australia when it was 76 f****** degrees Fahrenheit 23° c and they were still f****** passing out it's because their bodies are not able to handle temperatures like hours but they still try to make it out to seem like they're doing something in a f****** inferno when that is completely an entirely not the case what it is is just their bodies cannot stand the same heat that we constantly do every single day over here in the States in these southern parts of the states as well as Central and South America yet there are some idiots out there that are so f****** stupid they don't even understand something as simple as this a good Lord I know it shouldn't but it absolutely pisses me the f*** off that some people are just that damn stupid

[@mikewazowski7830]

Yeah operating 8 to 12 hours in 95 to 98° f is such a f****** chore why not give praise to the people that are actually having to do s*** that is just as physical as those triathletes but having to do so in a lot hotter temperatures as well as handling extreme weights while doing that for multiple hours instead of f****** talking like somebody who trains to do a f****** marathon and is able to complete the marathon instead of saying that that person is f****** great amazing it's cool as hell that they were able to push themselves to do that no they f****** train themselves to do it You can do legitimately almost any f****** thing in existence as long as you train yourself properly to be able to do it but sitting there using your f****** body as a person is naturally supposed to be able to do that is not anything to give any amount of praise to over here saying they're on a different level You should say that about the people that are having to do twice as much physically in up to 20 to 40°Fahrenheit hotter than that little b******* 98 that they were running in Mexico while still having to do s*** like breathe in the fumes of a two-cycle motor because your job has you using that two cycle motor in 130°F+ as well as having to lift things two times your own body weight and heavier while also having to throw those things that way more than twice your body weight after you've lifted them over your head and I'm talking about doing this s*** 8 to 12 hours each and every f****** day of the week those are the people that should be getting praised not somebody that goes out for the f****** hell of it to run around so they can get some f****** praise f*** anybody that accepts publicity for doing something that they train themselves to do

Any endurance athletes are ridiculous humans

[@Fluffy-Fluffy]

​@@Tommyhearnsrighthand Well I wouldn't do this ever, not even for a milion bucks unless the temp is a bit more agreeable, then I might train if I get about 5 y for it lol. But you must have a certain crazy mindset to do this. I flinch at a 10k, let alone a marathon. A triathlon doesn't even fit in my understanding of how you can push your body to that degree. It very likely isn't healthy. Mist look up to them thinking those people are very fit which maybe many are, but heartissues are not uncommon in endurance athletes. I guess the body does attack muscletissue and therefore the heart as well and while we are not built for our modern loves to just sit all day, I don't think we are built for running marathons either, let alone triathlons. More like some sprinting, resting, sprinting again for hunting (I doubt anyone would have chased an animal running for over even 5k, just it was a lot of walking up first and sprinting a few times to get the animal) and walking distances. I wonder who ever came up with this idea of a triathlon. Thligh they must have enough musclemass to perform this, many triathlon participants are pretty skinny. In men it's not as bad as it is in some women it seems (Olympics/WC in Brazil I believe, so many women were so skinny that it looked really unhealthy while others called them very fit. I don't know, I think it's not healthy, but you need a great level of fitness, just it seems most spend a lot of time on endurance and not a lot on growing muscles. Didn't govfor all women and surely not for all guys but these two to me seemed so skinny I am amazed anyone made it, even the last person accomplished sonething absolutely nuts if you think about it. Sorry I can't do short reactions. It's an autistic thing for me.
