Just do it

Bevan Docherty took bronze in the triathlon at the Beijing Olympics (a mere 12 seconds behind the winner, Jan "Frodo" Frodeno of Germany). In this clip, footage from a prior triathlon, Docherty pulls off a victory in dramatic fashion. I've watched it more times than I'll admit and each time it motivates me to go out and run. When you watch it, keep in mind it is the final leg of a triathlon.

Now check out this clip - the finish to last year's Chicago marathon. Watch the lead runner as she high fives and waves at the crowd. It then all falls apart.
