Imagine the following:
You have traveled more than 200 miles to participate in your first Ironman competition. You swim 2.4 miles through chilly, choppy water. You bicycle 112 miles through wind and rain.
The final leg, a grueling 26.2-mile run, is next. All around you, people are ditching their bikes and grabbing the bags that hold their running shoes. But not you.
You can't find your running shoes.
They have vanished, and the clock is ticking.
