CLIMB

Santa Barbara triathlete Neil Myers was nearly killed in a horrific training accident on Gibraltar Road in 2018. One week after the accident, he signed up to compete in a triathlon that was a year away, with a goal of simply crossing the finish line. Four months after healing and leaving rehab, Neil began his cycling training. Only one year after the accident, he surpassed the goal he had set while he was in the hospital. He and his team won the 2019 Santa Barbara Triathlon.

My take

A raw testament to human resilience. Watch a triathlete rebuild himself from catastrophic injury to competition in just one year—a quiet, powerful story about what the body and mind can overcome when given a second chance.
