He has minor physical ailments, decreased interest for his job, etc. But his life is about to make a radical change. Catherine likes her work, but is confronted with the day-to-day difficulties of family responsibilities, career and love life. Their discovery of the triathlon plays an important part in the solution of their problems. Both will learn, with the help of their triathlon colleagues and their trainers, to appreciate the demanding sport, which will become slowly a way of life if not the reason to live. From one small competition to the next one, they train for and compete in their first Ironman - 3.8 km of swimming, 180 km of bicycling and 42.1 km of running.
