    I was disappointed that i hadn't seen this documentary when they usually come out in November. I cannot say enough about the new level of documentation you have done. Absolutely well done very well done! I have watched these docs for a decade, and you have well breached a new standard.

    The footage on this is insanely good - for a bunch of people swimming in the sea, biking on the road, and running along the beach - they made it look spectacular without being cheesy imho - compliments to the crew!

    Els Visser also has a TED talk that is worth watching about her harrowing shipwreck and how it developed her purposes/goals in life. Very inspiring!

    2:04 : could someone explain me how top level athletes are able to compete with that swimming technique, while everyone explains you should have as less % of your body outside the water and trying to glide by bending the elbow and sliding into the water..?
    No offense, just wondering of it is possible...
