Tri Again
Tri Again is a rip-roaring, wetsuit-struggling, pedal-pushing odyssey that charts one man's journey from a pneumonia-stricken heap to the starting line of Ironman.

With his trusty coach and the unexpected camaraderie of friendships found along the way, he sets out on a quest not just for glory, but for redemption.
From the struggles of securing pool time during a global pandemic to the surreal world of virtual training sessions, Tri Again serves up a heartfelt, and sometimes harrowing, account of what it means to push the human body and spirit to their limits - a tale of the incessant pursuit of a finish line that seems forever just around the next bend.
