- The Biggest Loser's Matt Hoover competing and finishing the Ford Ironman in Hawaii. An inspiration to all.
There's a saying that goes something along the lines of "The only time you should be looking down on someone is when you're helping them up".
No matter if you're an 8 hour finisher, or somebody like Matt that completed it in just a bit over the cutoff, every TRUE "Ironman" believes this. I don't think anybody on one of those courses would think twice about helping a fellow racer. Whether it be literally helping them up, or cheering them into the finish chute.
I've turned on comment screening, so I have to approve a comment before it shows up. That being said, for the haters out there, don't bother wasting your time trying to post any negative, stupid or spammy comments. They'll never see the light of day.
I think 99% of the people that watch this video share your view on Matt's feat, or understand what true sportsmanship is. The people that spout negative comments about somebody doing something that in most people's eyes they shouldn't be able to just don't have any idea. That's why in my description I mention that I'll delete negative comments. This video has been very inspirational to a lot of folks and it will continue to be. I appreciate your positive comment.
Screw the 3 minutes. 99% of the population could never finish a Ironman at all
I've been doing Triathlons for 6 years and not one of them has been an Ironman distance. This made my bottom lip quiver, because you, my friend, a f***ing legend!
insane, with his weight doing all that. Just insane.
It doesnt matter if you miss by three minutes. YOU DID IRONMAN
that's not a loser
Legit teared up, this guy is absolutely amazing! My goal is now to do the Kona Ironman.
Wait a sec, he was only off by 3 mins... that’s insane. Great job dude, you’ll def shave off those 3 mins and be an iron man if u do it again.
Anyone who can just finish is an Ironman.
"its not about how much you weigh. Its not about you`ve done in your past. Its about what you are doing". amazing, Big lesson today.
Super. Amazing. Best. Love.
True inspiration bro mind blowing my hat is off to you
Very cool. So we'll done. Inspirational mate.
Still a ironman
Nothing! I repeat - Nothing can be more inspirational and motivational!
Inspirational....amazing.
This is by far more impressive than the first one who crossed the finish line.
Hoover is the greatest coach ever thanks coach 👍
Fuck yeah Matt. Amazing. I think it’s more amazing that you never gave up even AFTER you missed the cutoff. You never quit!
Well done
