(Iron Girls' first cycling training)

(How good are they in cycling?)

(They cycle on a difficult course without a problem.)

(Iron Girls smile as they train for the first time.)

(On the other hand...)

(Ace Uie...)

(who malfunctioned in front of the bike...)

(is still stiff, but she is overcoming it step by step.)

(The first cycling training ended successfully!)

(Hey, no way!)

(Iron Girls' opponents)

(Judo, track and field, workout, uniforms)

(Iron girls from all around the nation showed up.)

(Iron Girls were very determined.)

(Explosion of workout dopamine and madness)

(I can do it!)

(The match motivated to-be iron girls to work out.)

Darn it!

Iron Girls!

(The nation's iron girls, assemble!)

(The awaited first outdoor cycling)

(Where will today's training take place?)

(One hour from Seoul)

(Accessible by the subway)

(It's a perfect place to feel the nature...)

(and exercise near Seoul.)

(Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province)

The way we're dressed makes me feel like...

we should ride motorcycles, not bicycles.

- Exactly. We look like bikers. - In Ah...

Gosh, this is so funny.

Hello.

Hello.

(Colorful)

(Iron Girls arrive in colorful suits.)

(Posing)

With a bicycle with me, I feel...

We look like that.

Earth, fire, wind, water, and heart.

(Captain Planet)

(A classic animation "Captain Planet and the Planeteers")

Don't we?

- Don't you know what it is? - I don't know.

Isn't "The Powerpuff Girls" more recent?

What's that? Is that so?

It's not that new either.

I know what it is.

(Speaking quietly)

And I added a highlight feature.

- Right. - Right, this.

I tried my best.

She added it with the compassion of a mom.

(During the first meeting)

(I'm really bad at drawing.)

(What is this?)

(Laughing out loud)

Do you get what I'm trying to draw?

No way.

(You're really bad at drawing.)

(The unfortunate character was insulted in the very first meeting.)

Now that I look at it, it's very cute.

- It's no joke, right? - Its eyes are crazy...

about exercising.

Yes, it's really nice.

They look like this, but they're hearts.

Exactly.

- The eyes are heart-shaped. - Why did I draw it like this?

(Uie's character is received well.)

These are based on our characters.

- Yes. - The characters each have a color.

- Don't we look cool like this? - Yes.

It feels like we've become someone important.

I wonder what color of clothes...

Captain Kim will wear today.

- Each day, he tries very hard... - This here...

to beat our outfits.

- I just hope it won't hurt my eyes. - He doesn't want to lose.

It's so glaring.

I'm looking forward to it. It might be neon green today.

Seo Yeon, we won't lose to him today.

- Our colors... - Ours is pretty striking.

Captain Kim... I can see him from afar.

(Shocked)

It's blinding already.

Captain Kim.

(Here he comes!)

It's the coach.

- Hello. - Are we "Power Rangers?"

Goodness, he is in pink again.

Hello.

The color of the clothes...

(Secretly satisfied)

Do you have a character too?

I have it at the back.

(Amazed)

Amazing, this is my first time seeing it!

(It's a carbon copy of Captain Kim.)

- This... - That's so cute.

Four of you plus me look like "Power Rangers."

(2024 "Iron Rangers" is complete with Captain Kim.)

Seo Yeon, you became more tan.

Because I trained in Jeju Island.

And it's almost always outdoors. There aren't many indoor venues.

So I got very tan.

Your teeth became whiter.

(In Ah's positive thinking)

(Jeju Island with strong sunlight)

(Sun, no matter how hot you are,)

(I won't worry about my skin.)

(I'll exercise.)

(Even the sun will run away from Seo Yeon's passion.)

Am I that tan?

(Is it that bad?)

I must've looked fair in the first episode, right?

If you compare me from back then...

But you look very healthy.

- It's like a professional athlete. - Exactly.

You seem to have lost weight too.

- I did. - Right.

But I eat...

like a beast.

You know what I mean, right?

- I keep burning calories, - Yes.

so I keep feeling hungry.

I keep eating like a beast.

(Eating like a beast like this, for example.)

If I don't eat before and after my training,

I won't have enough energy to train.

People who do cardio eat a lot of carbohydrates.

I ate a lot, but I still lost a lot of weight.

- Right? - Yes.

The competition in Tongyeong...

is only 10 weeks away. It's only 10 weeks from now.

(Seventy days left for the Tongyeong competition)

(For the triathlon, their cycling goal is 40km.)

(They will train to pass the long cycling course.)

(What is Iron Girls' first cycling course?)

Today's course...

is one of the favorites of cyclists.

There's the restaurant they always go to after cycling.

- That's right. - Cold chicken noodles.

- How do you know? - I've eaten it before.

They always eat cold chicken noodles after cycling.

(A beginner's cycling course customized for Iron Girls)

(A beginner's course about 15km from Sinwon Station...)

(to the cold chicken noodles restaurant in Paldang)

(Welcome.)

(It's called Yangpyeong Cold Chicken Noodles Course.)

(The course cuts across Bukhan River,)

(and it will give them a fun riding experience.)

It's like cold naengmyeon with chicken breast.

It's healthy.

It's really delicious.

Can you eat it only if you complete the course?

(Laughing)

If you don't complete it, you won't be there to begin with.

(I want to eat it too.)

You can do it.

Exactly. Are you worried?

Seo Yeon, I really want to throw this bicycle away.

- It's expensive, Uie. - You...

(You can't, it's expensive.)

My heart really...

(Her heart is racing.)

It feels like I'm on a bungee platform.

- Really? - My heart just...

Did you practice?

I really tried hard.

- Did you? - Yes.

(Even though she practiced,)

(she is very concerned about her first outdoor cycling.)

(I have a bicycle trauma.)

(Shouting)

(Please don't let go.)

(The worst cyclist who couldn't lift her feet off the ground alone)

(She clenched her teeth and started training indoors.)

Okay.

Maintain the balance. Good.

(If I can't do it, do it until I can!)

Okay.

(Even in the heat,)

(she trained outdoors!)

(Uie trained harder than anyone else for today.)

You practiced hard.

Just show us what you practiced today.

(Can I do it?)

Just like the Road Traffic Act,

There are signs and basic rules when cycling.

Safety comes first. So...

your vision and hearing.

Keep your eyes and ears wide open.

Since this is an outdoor sport, not indoor sports,

there are bumps, rough roads, holes, and so on.

Make sure to keep on eye on them and cycle safely.

We're riding as a team, not as individuals.

We are Team Iron Girls.

You must follow the signs of the person in front of you.

Coach, could you explain it to us?

- The signs first... - Yes, teach us.

(The signs are given to communicate smoothly between cyclists.)

Firstly, the most basic one.

Turn left.

- Turn left. - Turn left.

Turn right.

- Turn right. - Turn right.

- Stop. - Stop.

And...

(Shaking)

(Flicking a hand up and down?)

- What is that? - Down.

- Sorry? - Slow down.

That's right, slow down.

- This is how you do it. - Slow down.

The front cyclist might do this.

Turn around?

Make a U-turn?

When there's a hole...

or a dent on the road...

- There's a hole. - There's a hole, a dent,

or a bump.

Or you can say it out loud. "Bump."

- "Hole. Bump." - Yes, you can do that too.

When I was practicing cycling,

- I saw someone do this. - This.

- Maybe their armpit was too sweaty. - Is that it?

- I was going to tell you. - Good catch.

This is the gesture for "hole,"

but you have to let go of the handle.

It's dangerous to let go of it when you're around a hole.

So by moving your arms like this,

it signals there's something on the road.

- Okay. - If the person in front does this,

it's not because...

- they're feeling hot or itchy. - Yes.

If they do it twice, it means there's something on the road.

You should check the road carefully.

Do you do this for a speed bump too?

Yes, you do.

- That's a cycling manner. - You can consider this...

as a hazard light.

When you want to overtake... Cyclists will hear this often.

We'll hear this often today...

since we're going to cycle slowly.

"Passing by." People will shout from behind us.

- I heard that so many times. - It literally means...

someone's going to pass by us.

- Then how should we answer? - "Okay."

- "Okay, thank you?" - Just...

- stick to one side and ride slowly. - Yes.

If they say "passing by" but we cycle toward this side,

we'll collide into them.

Think of it as keeping the slow pace until they pass us.

Wear your safety gear,

and let's start your first outdoor cycling.

Before we start, let's stretch.

Let's warm up.

(To complete the course successfully)

Warm up your hip joints well.

We'll do a lot of active warm-ups than static ones.

Warm up your upper body, not only your lower body.

- Iron! - Girls!

- Okay. - Let's go.

Let's go eat cold chicken noodles.

We can do it.

- Socks. - When you wear socks, it's...

(Everyone is getting ready comfortably.)

Just cycle for 1 minute 20 seconds.

(She wore knee pads and arm pads.)

(The cycling novice is very nervous.)

I can do this!

- What sound was that? - What?

What about it?

(Acting tough)

- Sorry, Seo Yeon. Let me... - It's okay.

(Even the way she pulls her bicycle looks awkward.)

(Grunting)

Let's do this.

It'll only be over once I do this.

(She comforts herself as she mounts her bicycle.)

(Uie keeps sighing.)

- Towards cold chicken noodles. - Yes.

(Together with the relaxed members)

- Okay, let's start. - Okay.

(They start 15km outdoor cycling.)

- Go. - Let's do this.

(Ju Hyun starts without hesitation.)

(Seo Yeon starts without hesitation.)

(In Ah starts without hesitation.)

Let's do this.

(What about Uie?)

I'm the only one that needs to do this.

Okay. Nice.

(She successfully starts cycling smoothly without any help.)

Towards cold chicken noodles.

Yes. Cold chicken noodles, here we come.

Right... Turn left.

(She was a bit confused,)

(but the cycling ace gives the correct signal.)

(They follow Ju Hyun's lead and enter the first curved road.)

Let's do this.

(They cheer each other on...)

(and enter the curved road smoothly.)

A speed bump.

(She calls out the speed bump as practiced.)

(Thanks to Ju Hyun, they pass the speed bump safely.)

(Bumpy)

The road is strange.

(Signaling immediately)

Beware of the road.

(Ju Hyun informs them about the uneven road too.)

(Thanks to her, In Ah relays the signal with ease.)

(She passes the zone by lifting up her bottom slightly.)

There's a bump here too. Sir, we're passing by.

Sir, we have a few in the group.

(She skillfully directs traffic for the other riders.)

(She even makes sure the people behind are keeping up.)

(Today, she's a smart Navigator Park.)

It feels good.

- The weather is cool. - It's cool, right?

- Yes. - It's because we're in the forest.

It's so cool!

(As they ride through the forest, a refreshing breeze blows past.)

- Anything difficult or scary? - I'm in my best condition.

- We're changing direction. - I'm happy.

(She looks the brightest since the entire training so far.)

- Keep your gaze far and enjoy. - Okay.

(She’s diligently practicing today's goal: "Enjoy riding.")

Did we ride 1.5km already?

(In just 5 minutes, she reached 1.5km.)

This is nice.

I'll ride 15km in no time.

(With the cycling pace, the distance increases rapidly.)

How fast are we going now?

20km per hour.

(Current speed: 20km per hour)

For the triathlon, you need to maintain 25 to 28km per hour.

- Okay. - A bit faster from now.

It's cool.

(Riding through the wind)

(Childish Park)

(Excited)

(She's so happy.)

My goodness.

(Navigator Park sees something.)

Is it a tunnel?

- Have you cycled through a tunnel? - I've never.

The temperature inside will be different.

- Is it cooler? - Yes.

The tunnel looks so fun!

It's amazing.

(She's very excited.)

When I go through it,

it'll be like "Spirited Away,"

and the unknown world...

(She enters a tunnel that seems to lead to an unknown world.)

might be waiting for me.

(She enters a tunnel that seems to lead to an unknown world.)

(Amazed)

(It's amazing!)

It's so cool!

It's like a fridge.

(It's cool like a fridge inside the tunnel.)

It's cool.

(Iron Girls are very excited.)

Iron Girls!

(She's very happy.)

(The excitement continues.)

Iron Girls!

Let's do this!

(Laidback)

I feel like I'm at a theme park.

- The weather is so nice, right? - Yes, it's the best.

(They're enjoying the ride as if they're in a theme park.)

(Checking the cycled distance)

We have already cycled 450 meters!

Oh, no. 4km and 500 meters!

- We rode 4km. - We rode 4.5km.

(She means they rode 4.5km.)

It's 4.5km! Almost one-third.

(They're approaching the one-third mark soon.)

Is Uie coming?

Is Uie coming?

(Now that they talk about it, Uie isn't seen anywhere.)

(Her speed is slow.)

They're going fast. They just went.

They're so fast.

(Uie got separated from others.)

Oh, my. Be careful.

(Uie meets her first curved road.)

(She even needs to go between the bars.)

Wait.

- Be careful. - Gosh, this is too dangerous.

- You can walk there. - I can't do this.

You can walk.

(The curved road is still scary to a beginner.)

Oh, no. I can't ride on this kind of course.

You shouldn’t suddenly stop...

- and get off your bike on the road. - What should I do?

- You should move to the side. - To the side?

The person behind won't know, so they'll keep following you.

It's so scary from the start!

(The first outdoor cycling isn't easy.)

This way.

(The first outdoor cycling isn't easy.)

(She carefully starts cycling again.)

(This time, the person in front is distracting her.)

(Wobbling)

Nothing is coming.

(She struggles to change lanes.)

We'll go ahead.

(She struggles to change lanes.)

(She finally passes him by.)

Wait.

(She finally passes him by.)

Wait.

(She feels very uneasy.)

(Something appears in front of her without a moment's pause.)

(A set of a speed bump and a bar)

There's a bar in front of you. Slow down.

(Others went over the speed bump easily.)

Good.

(She grits her teeth and goes over the speed bump.)

I can do it.

I can do it.

(In front of Uie, who's nervous on her first ride,)

(a tunnel appears.)

- Even being dark is scary to me. - I know.

I feel the road is very narrow. Gosh.

(The road feels narrow because of the walls.)

- Oh, my. - Okay. Go slow.

(She's very nervous.)

(Others are riding fast.)

Don't worry about the riders coming from the opposite direction.

- They won't cross the middle line. - Yes.

Don't overthink. Take it slow.

(Everything feels like a source of anxiety for her as a beginner.)

(She went through the tunnel without an issue.)

(A sharp curved road appears again.)

- Please. - You're doing good. Go slowly.

(Anxious)

(There's even a person coming from the opposite direction.)

(Wobbling)

Go slowly.

Oh, no. It's okay.

Go slowly.

(The bicycle ultimately fell over.)

It's okay.

It was scary because of the person. It was scary for me too.

It's a curved road.

But the person from the opposite road rode fast.

That's why she was surprised.

(She still has a significant fear of variables.)

- It's okay. - To me,

all these paths are new.

It's too scary.

(She doesn't dare to ride the bicycle again right away.)

It's hard.

(She doesn't dare to ride the bicycle again right away.)

It's hard.

I'll just walk here.

(Finally, she decides to walk the curved road.)

I'm still tense.

What should I do?

(Ace Uie feels small while cycling.)

(Feeling sad)

(Her first cycling doesn't go as she wishes.)

I think it's better to walk on curved roads.

- I can't. - Yes.

On curved roads, let's reduce the speed...

and slowly choose one foot...

to stand and walk.

(Sighs)

(Taking a deep breath, she mounts the bicycle.)

(While Uie is restarting with great difficulty,)

(others rode quite far away.)

Cold chicken noodles are waiting for me.

When we eat after cycling...

- and sweating, it'll be so tasty. - Yes.

- It'll be so delicious! - I know.

- Dumplings too. - Dumplings too!

Yangsu Railway Bridge is in front.

(A huge railway bridge appears.)

Yangsu Railway Bridge is in front.

- Yangsu Railway Bridge. - Railway bridge on the sides.

Yangsu Railway Bridge.

- Yangsu Railway Bridge? - Yes.

It's like "Family Entertainment."

(As they enter the railway bridge)

My goodness. This is crazy.

(Amazed)

It must be so gorgeous. It's crazy.

(Bukhan River appeared in front of the Iron Girls.)

It's so pretty!

This is so nice.

(The cool scenery of the river is visible beyond the bridge.)

Gosh. Look at this.

My goodness.

It's so pretty!

(While enjoying the scenery)

Uie might find this scary.

Yes. I think she would be scared.

- I think this is too fast. - Is it too fast?

I'm so scared.

- It's uphill. - Yes.

If you feel tired, you can get off the bicycle. Okay.

(They enter the uphill while fighting the fear.)

(She tries her best and pedals.)

If you feel tired, you can get off.

(She tries her best and pedals.)

- You need to move a bit right. - Right?

(Wobbling)

(She passed the uphill area.)

- Use the brake and go slowly. - What should I do?

What should I do?

(Why is she so nervous again?)

(The road becomes narrow because of the plants.)

(There are people coming from the opposite direction too.)

(Feels like skating on thin ice)

(After she passes the narrow road,)

(she sighs in relief.)

(But she has no time to feel relieved.)

We're going up.

Yes. Go.

There's a bridge.

(Another course to be nervous)

Yes.

If it's hard, we can walk.

Okay.

(My goodness)

(She can't enjoy the scenery but only sigh.)

There's a bicycle behind. Move to your right.

(There are bicycles coming from the opposite side.)

There's a bicycle behind.

(The condition of the road is scary by itself.)

(But there are bicycles coming from her behind.)

(They are passing by Uie.)

I'm sorry.

(She gets out of the bridge with great difficulty.)

(There's an uphill again.)

(Nervous)

We can walk if it's difficult.

(She tries her best to pedal.)

There's a bump.

I can't.

(Uie stops in the middle of the uphill course.)

You can walk.

This is scary for me.

Yes. You can walk.

(Cycling is still difficult for her.)

(Sighing)

(Today, she is setting a record for sighing the most.)

Seriously.

I won't be able to enter the triathlon.

(It's Ace Uie's first time to be like this.)

Will I be able to enter the triathlon?

Will I make it?

(She's doubting herself.)

(Still, she gets on the bicycle once again.)

A crosswalk ahead!

Ride slowly.

There's a speed bump.

(Navigator Park is working well.)

When I pedal once, it goes very far.

(The three cycles are at a stable pace.)

Cold chicken noodles aren't far away!

- Cold chicken noodles! - Cold chicken noodles!

I want to eat it!

(They lift their energy using the cold chicken noodles.)

It's so pretty!

Iron Girls in the forest!

(As they ride happily)

Nungnae Station is 300m ahead!

Okay, 300m.

(They arrive at Nungnae Station, which is 10km point.)

Go slowly.

Turn right.

(Iron Girls slow down one by one.)

Move to the right. To the side.

When getting off the bicycle, always do so from the side,

not while in motion.

(Is Uie coming?)

Yes.

(Finish, Nungnae Station, Sinwon Station)

(For Uie, who's far behind)

Let's take a break here.

Let's support Uie and take a break.

(They'll wait and move together.)

I don't want to eat the cold chicken noodles.

Go slowly.

(She refuses to eat cold chicken noodles.)

A speed bump ahead.

(She's still scared.)

Nice job.

One round.

You did well. Good.

(She went through the obstacles.)

I'm sorry.

- They're passing your side. - I'm sorry.

(She kept apologizing to the people.)

I'm sorry.

Oh, no. Halt.

- Are you good? - Yes.

Okay.

(Even though she stops because it's scary,)

(she still rides again.)

Wait. Why is this...

(Even though she stops because it's scary, she still rides again.)

(As she kept pedaling)

We cycled 9km. It's amazing.

(She passed 9km point.)

Let's do this!

You're amazing.

It shouldn't be scary.

You'll get used to it in no time.

It's your first ride, and you didn't ride for long.

You're doing amazing.

(Dong Hyun is supporting her by saying she's doing good.)

I can do it.

(Uie gains strength with his support.)

Now, we're meeting them.

(Uie can see Nungnae Station too.)

We're at 9.3km.

We'll go slowly and stop at the crosswalk.

Uie!

- She's coming. - Is it Uie?

- Yes. - My goodness.

Kim Yu Jin!

(They're clapping for Uie to support her.)

Move!

Move! You don't know what will happen!

- Everyone, move! - We don't know where she'll end up.

(She brakes suddenly.)

- It's okay. - I'm sorry.

It's okay.

- You came all the way here. - You rode 10km.

- You went through a lot. - Station your bicycle here.

She did so well.

- You did well. - She did so well.

My gosh.

- Did you wait for a long time? - No.

- It's scary when many people cycle. - You went through a lot.

I gritted my teeth whenever people passed me by in groups.

- Like this. - You're so cute.

We're two-thirds of the way.

- She's really good. - Yes.

Compared to the time she practiced.

- It's her first time to learn. - Yes.

It has not even been a month.

You all cycled well until here.

(Coach agrees.)

Let's drink water and take a break.

Then, let's push through the remaining 5km.

Can we have an ice cream?

- Ice cream? - Yes.

- Sorry. - Captain Kim's treat?

- Treat us! - Ice cream?

- Ice cream... - Captain's treat confirmed!

- treat! - Sure, why not?

Ice cream is easy.

Won't we have a stomach ache after eating an ice cream?

- No worries with cycling. - Will we be fine?

I like the atmosphere. This is what I like about cycling.

This is what I like about cycling.

It'll be so tasty.

(Laughing in happiness)

(Super excited)

- It must be so delicious! - What should I do?

(She's still worried.)

(Depressed)

Kim Yu Jin.

(Uie's real name)

- Choose an ice cream. - I don't want to eat it.

Why not?

I might get sick.

Give me yours.

You can eat mine.

(Ju Hyun jokes to make her feel better.)

Have one bite of mine.

(Full of worries and concerns)

Thank you for the treat!

- Enjoy. - Thank you for the treat.

I feel bad eating...

after riding for 10km.

- It's okay. - This is the fun part.

- No. I prepared... - No.

- many trainings for you. - No!

- Is it? - Yes.

Don't feel bad about this.

I prepared a lot for today.

Eat as much as you can.

- I'm scared already. - Yes, today...

- I'm tired. - Uie.

It's amazing that you rode 10km.

- Right. - Yes.

- You did so well. - For real.

- Just after a month of practicing. - Yes.

You were about to cry here, right?

I tear up in every break.

She cried 2 or 3 times.

I said I was worried about you.

I apologized about ten times today.

I'm sorry.

They were like you before.

Now, you just need to follow their steps.

Maybe not to that extent.

But to that... Sorry?

- Nothing helps you. - This kind of phase happens...

around when you're 7 or 8 years old.

(This kind of phase happens when you're 7 or 8 years old.)

- You're all different. - Yes.

You all have different things you're good and bad at.

The lanes are larger in the triathlon. It will be okay.

We need to go now. Wear your suits.

- I'm not wearing it. - You're not?

- For real. - Seriously.

What should I do?

We still have two days left so I won't wear the suit.

- No. - But it's a lot...

- Thank you for the ice cream. - Thank you for the ice cream.

I'm so scared.

(The short break is over.)

We can do it!

- We can do it! - We only have 5km left.

Yes!

Mother.

(She feels scared again as she's about to ride.)

Okay.

Why am I like this?

Think about revenging in the swimming pool.

- Why would she revenge? - I know.

We're shooting a Hollywood film.

I don't...

Don't they have stunt doubles?

(Failed to take care of her mentally)

Let's go!

- Okay. - Let's go.

(To finish the race, they must move forward again.)

Okay, go first.

(Setting off towards the goal of completing 15km)

- Let's go! - Go!

(The leading group starts fast.)

No one is coming. All good.

(Uie starts carefully and slowly.)

(Will she be able to finish?)

If someone passes by, I'll tell you.

Yes.

(Let's go)

(The front three have re-charged their energy.)

The sun is up.

It's awesome!

(The morning sunlight shines, making the scenery even greener)

Look at the mountains. It's so pretty.

It's cool.

(They speed up with a cool breeze.)

Be careful of the leaves.

(Navigator Park works hard even after the break.)

The ground.

We cycled 12km.

(They surpassed 12km rapidly.)

This bicycle feels comfortable even after riding on it for so long.

Speed up!

(Since it's the final stretch,)

(they are speeding up.)

Speed up!

- It's 28km per hour. - It's 28km per hour.

(Current speed: 28km per hour)

Now it's 29km per hour.

Let's hit 30km per hour.

- It's 30km per hour. - It's 30km per hour.

(They surpass 30km per hour in the end.)

This is 30km per hour?

If we ride in this speed for 40km.

(If they ride at this speed during the triathlon, they're safe.)

Shall we speed up?

(They keep riding in high speed.)

We surpassed 14.3km.

We have 700m left!

Good. Let's go!

(Screaming)

(Her voice becomes thicker as they approach the finish line.)

We have a downhill road coming up.

- Put on the brakes and slow down. - Okay.

Slow down on the downhill.

- We're almost there. - Slow down.

Put on the brakes.

- We're almost there. - Yes, we are. Slow down.

Here we are!

It's this place.

(The cold chicken noodles place right before their eyes)

It's right there.

(Shouting)

(Making a loud noise feeling joy of finishing the course)

All right.

(Entering the arrival point at last)

This is it.

(Starting with Navigator Park,)

I want to have a meal right now.

(the leader group completed the 15km course.)

Park it on the rack there.

(A bike rack installed in front of the restaurant)

Put the seat on it like a hanger.

There you go.

(Parking the bike like hanging laundry)

Try it.

- All right. - There you go.

(High five)

Cold chicken noodles.

I came all the way thinking about cold chicken noodles only.

They have good food here.

(They rode 15km for cold chicken noodles.)

Look at that. Jumbo dumpling and acorn pancake!

(Ju Hyun, Seo Yeon, and In Ah safely arrived.)

I'm very worried about Uie.

Is Uie coming all right?

(Uie is far apart again.)

Nice.

(Slow but trying hard)

You're going fast. Slow down.

It's 13km per hour.

(Riding at 13km per hour)

Look at the traffic light.

Can I go now?

Stop. Put your feet on the brakes. You need to stop here.

It's a red light.

- You can walk here. - Okay.

Walk after passing the red light.

(Uie caught her breath for a while.)

I can do this!

I have to. I have no choice.

Right. You're almost there.

What are you going to do, Uie? Are you going to walk all the way?

(Yes, I'm Kim Yu Jin. I don't give up.)

You're making a good start now.

(Starting off to the arrival point!)

I can do this.

- Bikes coming. - I'm sorry!

(Even when other people pass by)

I'm sorry. You can pass us.

I'm sorry.

You need to pass us.

- Because I'm a beginner. - Because we're beginners.

It's because I'm a beginner.

(She looks more relaxed compared to the beginning.)

(Ahead of Uie...)

(is a narrow forked road.)

Why is it like this again?

If the road looks tough for you, you can stop.

You can stop after trying 5 to 10m.

- Okay. - Try it.

I'm going.

- Here I go! - That's nice. You're trying.

That's amazing. It's your first challenge.

(Riding on the narrowing road without a stop)

That's amazing. This isn't easy.

(She would have stopped before the narrow road for fear.)

- I'm going. - That's good. Nice!

- Gosh. - You made it!

(She passes the section at one go without a stop.)

(Coming up next...)

(is a forked road,)

(and then it makes a sharp turn right away.)

Turn left slightly.

I'm in big trouble.

(Very nervous before a tough course)

I can do this.

(She succeeds in riding on the forked road.)

Okay.

(And on the sharp turn,)

(she succeeds again.)

You're so good.

(Uie has improved a lot.)

You're different from when you started this course.

- Speed up a little bit. - Okay.

(She looks much more comfortable.)

You can speed up here. It's okay.

- Can I? - Yes.

(Now a straight road, which is much easier to ride on)

Nice. Let's speed up. That's great!

Go straight.

(She decides to speed up.)

It's 20km per hour!

(Uie rides fast on the straight road.)

With this speed, you won't get cut off.

It's amazing. Go straight.

It's 21km per hour on average! That's great!

(The average speed is 21km per hour!)

(She's riding almost 2 times faster than when she started.)

That's nice.

The average speed is 21km per hour.

You're different from earlier.

Good.

You can pass this kind of section without a problem now. Good.

(Now she can pass a forked road easily.)

With a faster speed, it's easier to ride on this kind of section.

It's easier for you to balance.

(Uie is getting the hang of it.)

You're fast.

It's 20km per hour now.

(Adjusting herself all right to the outdoor riding)

- You have 2km left. - Okay.

We're almost there.

(Only 2km left to finish the course)

(However)

Wait a minute.

(A sharp turn appears near the end of the course.)

Wait a minute.

- What is it? - Wait a minute.

Okay.

(Can she pass safely this time again?)

I'll tell you. It's okay.

Goodness.

Wait a minute. Oh, my.

(Uie panicked at the sharp turn...)

(and put on the brakes hard, so she fell down right away.)

(Startled)

Wait a minute.

My goodness.

Are you okay?

Oh, my.

Where did you get hurt?

(It seems that she fell down quite hard.)

She looked ahead and thought that road was blocked.

- She felt anxious and... - Let me see.

Did you scrape your knee despite the knee pad?

How about your wrist?

- It hurts. - Goodness.

(Her knee was scraped.)

Even with the knee pad.

It would help if you took a break.

Let me see.

(She has been holding it, but now she bursts into tears.)

Try moving your hands.

Make a fist. Your right hand too.

(She wants to show that she's doing good.)

(She feels frustrated.)

The road looks scary even at a glance.

- I don't think I can do this. - I know. You can't, right now.

But you did a good job.

Your seat was too high.

(The first outdoor riding must have been overwhelming for Uie.)

Even when you fall down,

it's important you stand up again.

(She decides to walk the rest of the course, after all.)

We're almost there, really.

It's right here.

Goodness.

The last part was tough.

(Uie was about to finish the course.)

(She feels so sorry.)

(She gets into the ambulance to get treated.)

She's coming.

(Members waiting for Uie see her.)

She has a tearful face again.

She must have cried.

There's an ambulance.

(Did she get hurt?)

(Members are worried, and they run to Uie.)

Did Uie fall hard?

Why is she in the ambulance?

- Did she fall down? - She fell forward.

Really? Is she hurt a lot?

(Her wound is getting disinfected and treated.)

Are you all right?

(Worried)

- Did you get the part torn? - I feel so hard right there.

Did you get wounds despite the guards?

(Her elbow and knee got scraped and wounded.)

I'm so upset.

(Members are upset.)

Gosh, I'm tearing up.

Are you okay, Uie?

If I can't overcome the fear, I can't enter the competition.

Does it hurt?

I need to do it.

The moment I see a turn...

and a downhill, I stop.

But there was a downhill right after where I stopped.

I stopped there,

- and I fell forward right away. - I see.

You fall when you stop on a downhill.

People might think that I got hurt in a competition.

It was only a short course, though.

- Thank you. - Goodness.

(Uie makes a joke.)

My goodness.

- I'm fine. - Good job, Uie.

I'm all right.

We still finished the course, Uie.

- Right. - We finished the course.

- Good job. - I arrived here, anyway.

Right. I thought you'd give up after riding 3km.

That's true. I thought you'd give up in the middle.

There were so many people riding bikes.

She got totally different for the last 5km...

- from the first 10km. - I'm glad to hear that.

She kept riding at 20km per hour.

- It was over 20. - That's amazing.

And she kept stopping whenever she found poles.

I can go straight, but...

Right. It feels scary.

The seat... If you go to a bike fitting shop,

they'll they this seat fits since you're tall.

- But you need to sit much lower. - A lower seat, for practicing?

The seat should be low enough so that your feet...

- reach the ground feeling anxious. - Right.

Otherwise, you get a fear.

And when you practice bike riding,

whenever someone blows a whistle,

you need to practice stopping right away.

You get fear when you fall down riding a bike.

Right. It's scary.

- Shall we have a meal then? - Thank you for your work!

(The first outdoor riding ends.)

- We're here. - We arrived.

- Good job. - Let's eat cold chicken noodles.

- Let's go. - We came here to eat it.

I wish I didn't fall at the end.

- Good job, Kim Yu Jin. - You did it.

- I knew you'd make it. - It surely feels scary.

- Good job. - Really.

It's amazing that you came all the way here.

- I'm hungry. - It must be delicious.

- Cold chicken noodles. - I'll have cold chicken noodles.

- Are spicy noodles good too? - We'll have four...

Spicy noodles too.

- Then cold chicken noodles... - You suddenly want spicy noodles.

- So suddenly. - I feel so stressed out.

Then we'll have four cold chicken noodles,

one serving of spicy noodles, one perilla kalguksu,

jumbo dumplings, acorn pancakes, and rice balls.

All right.

I can't believe I got here on a bike.

It's the first time in my life.

- It's tough. - It's not easy at all.

When I started riding a bike, I mostly hurt here.

- Did you? - I got scraped and all.

This is the process of learning, right?

- Sure. - You get scared, fall, and hurt.

I was like that when I was seven years old, so I can't remember.

But the position itself feels scary.

Today, it felt like a human triumph.

It was your first challenge, and you got here.

(Noodles arrive while they're talking.)

- It was so quick. - Come on.

(The food looks great.)

Goodness.

It's been a long time since I ate here.

(Icy cold broth is poured over fresh-made noodles.)

(A generous amount of garnishes go on the top too.)

(The heat from riding will be cooled down...)

(by cold chicken noodles.)

(Spicy noodles too)

- We did our best. - You worked hard, so eat a lot.

- Thank you for the food. - All right.

(Starting to dig in)

It has a healthy taste.

(This is what we're riding for.)

My teeth feel almost frozen.

- Is it so cold? - Yes.

(Cold chicken noodles completes their riding.)

(Eyes wide open)

It tastes sweet and sour.

(Focused)

(And here's someone with an unusual look.)

(She's here to finish cold chicken noodles.)

(I'm a beast.)

(Cold chicken noodles, you're done.)

(Iron Girls will take care of noodles in this area.)

Do you come here to eat this?

You should come on a bike.

You can't come here only to eat this.

- Why? - If you come here by car,

- it tastes a bit different. - It tastes different.

People might think that you rode about 100km.

People might think that you rode about 100km.

Don't you think so?

(Embarrassed)

Ju Hyun, people might think you're a cyclist.

Come on.

(Come on, Captain!)

(Her cute bluff is admitted.)

(Slurping noodles)

(Realized something)

Are we in Paldang?

That's Paldang Dam.

(Here's Paldang.)

This is where many people come for bike riding on weekends.

(A sacred place for weekend riding)

(Many people visit good restaurants on a bike.)

(Many people visit good restaurants on a bike.)

(A bike rack is a must for good restaurants in Paldang.)

People come here,

eat food here, or visit the donut shop next to this.

They eat donuts there.

Why?

Why?

It tastes good.

The donuts are so good.

Those who like bike riding and who are good at it...

would find this course fun.

I don't see anything else when riding.

But others feel the scenery as they ride a bike.

I can see why they find it fun.

She forgot about falling earlier.

After she fell... I mean it.

She cried loudly like a seven-year-old kid.

Usually, a grownup wouldn't cry after falling down.

- A grownup wouldn't cry, - They would feel embarrassed.

but she cried just like a seven-year-old kid would,

and said, "You said the road is straight all the way."

I don't know who she was talking to.

- What made you cry earlier? - What?

What did you think when you cried?

I did my share of practice, Captain.

I fell even after practice,

so that made me so sad.

The road was narrow, it had a lot of grass,

and there was a tunnel too.

I said I'm sorry about 30 times while coming here.

"I'm sorry. I'm a beginner."

I don't feel scared about riding straight now.

- I'm glad to hear that. - Right.

At first, when she looked at a pole standing,

she stopped.

She stopped before a speed bump.

And when the road became narrow,

she stopped.

And in the middle of the course earlier,

there was a median and the road was separated,

- so the road got narrow. - That's right.

Then she blamed Yangpyeong-gun.

- "How come they made it like this?" - "Why they don't mow the grass?"

"Why did they make the road this way?"

"Shall I file a complaint?"

(Yangpyeong-gun is wrongly accused.)

I seriously need to overcome bike riding.

I seriously need to overcome swimming.

I just need to overcome physical strength.

I'm so weak.

- Then you need to work out a lot. - Right.

- I need to overcome the fear. - That's true.

(So we train again.)

(The worst heat wave ever!)

(Amid the steaming hot weather,)

(Iron Girls are having intense training in August.)

It's so beautiful!

(I love it.)

(Uie who's afraid of bike is going through intense training.)

(Uie and Ju Hyun)

Oh, my. I feel so dizzy.

(The beginner of bike riding stops unstably.)

You stopped nicely just now.

It's dangerous to put on brakes in haste because your body gets tense.

Now, we are...

in Ttukseom Island in Han River...

practicing bike riding.

(Uie is following slowly.)

You're riding stably.

(Intense training in August)

(Today, Uie and In Ah are having swimming training.)

We don't have time, so get ready for training.

- No. - Let's begin.

Wait a minute. We can't do this without that.

- Get ready. - Wait a second.

Without that, time goes so slowly.

I can't swim without this.

(Earphones that you can use in water too!)

- I organized my playlist. - Really?

- You know, I can install it here. - Like MP3.

The sound quality is unbelievable.

- You can listen to it in water. - It's amazing.

This is crazy.

It's good to use when you run or swim.

This is a just right them for those who prepare for a triathlon.

Okay. Now you go into the water. Enter!

(I'm going first.)

Go with me.

(Go with me, Uie.)

(Uie's swimming looks stable, as expected.)

(It's not just stable, actually.)

(She can even look at the time in the water!)

(How's Iron In Ah's swimming?)

(She has improved so much after the first training.)

(Her body is perfectly floating.)

(She breathes much more stably than before.)

(In Ah's swimming isn't inferior when compared to Uie's.)

(Sports Genius In Ah is improving rapidly.)

(Even when the flow velocity is increasing,)

(she doesn't get pushed back, and her posture is kept the same.)

(Pacing herself and training hard)

(Stand up now.)

Okay.

(This is killing me.)

Thank you for your effort.

(Swimming training completed)

Thank you for your effort.

(One hot August day)

(The best day for swimming training to cool you down)

Swimming is the most important event in a triathlon.

We're here to carry out an interim evaluation.

- You're here before us. - Yes.

- What's going on? - What is it?

(What's all this?)

(It's not just a normal training today.)

(2024 Iron Girls 1st Swimming Competition)

(Is this a swimming competition?)

(After a while,)

(Iron Girls 1st Swimming Competition will be held.)

(Let's go, Iron Girls!)

I didn't expect all of this.

- "Swimming Competition!" - No.

It didn't cost too much for this banner.

As the captain, I thought all of this was necessary...

for the actual competition later.

It's too grandiose!

(Anyway, their swimsuits are somewhat different today.)

(Other than normal suits,)

(they cover the upper bodies too.)

(Wetsuits are made of special materials...)

(preserving the body heat...)

(and protecting the skin.)

(They are a must-item for the triathlon.)

I can move my arms more freely than I thought.

Yes, it's not that difficult.

(The ace already got used to the new suit.)

- Nice! - Yes, try moving your arms.

I feel very comfortable with this.

- I think I can wear another one. - Are you really okay with that?

(Making a fuss)

She's so cute.

(I can't stop the arm dance!)

(They will train with those wetsuits today.)

So, when we first met, each one received the homework, right?

What was yours?

- Mine was 150m. - Okay, 150m.

- Me too. - Okay.

- Mine was 800m. - I see.

In Ah's was 400m.

(But In Ah disappeared?)

(Before the swimming training...)

Why?

I can't move my right arm freely.

- You mean the right arm? - I can't move at all.

I can reach here when I bend down.

- Oh, it must be hurting. - But when I straight up...

- You can't hold it up. - No, I can't.

You got a strained arm...

as you pushed yourself too harshly, not considering...

your actual muscle power.

- Yes, when you were rowing. - I pushed myself too hard.

But we have to see...

if things get any better...

after taking a sleep.

So take some rest today.

I'm so angry.

- Don't feel that way. - No, it's not your fault.

- You did your best. - You did,

- and we were in the second place. - Yes.

I'm sorry, guys.

- Don't say that. - We did well thanks to you.

Take some rest.

In Ah, take care.

- Take care. - Take some rest.

- Apply an ice pack on it. - Take some rest.

(In Ah will join the training again...)

(after taking some treatment first.)

Although In Ah's not here today,

her mission was 400m.

So, the total of 1.5km,

which is the distance in the triathlon,

- was your first homework. - I see.

So, I'm now checking everything is okay.

But I will check while we're in a relay swimming competition.

(A relay swimming competition?)

- Sorry? - That's why...

(Do we compete...)

(with each other?)

(Today's training)

(A relay swimming competition)

I invited an amazing person again.

That's right.

- Seriously? - Yes.

It's a total of 1.5km.

We were supposed to compete for a distance of 1.5km.

But we don't have In Ah today.

It changed to 1.1km today.

I have some friends from the triathlon.

Let's welcome the expert who visited us today.

It was quite hard to invite this guy.

Why are there so many experts?

Please, come in!

(Who will be today's opponent?)

(Curious)

(Where is the expert?)

- We already met one today! - It's me!

(It's me!)

(Disappointed)

- Why? - I knew it.

- Something is wrong? - You are good, but...

Yes, it's me. You will compete with me.

- But Captain Kim, - Yes?

you are never good at swimming.

Do you think so? I practiced a lot more than you think.

(As for Captain Kim,)

(he is already experienced in the triathlon with his great body.)

(It's too easy.)

(He can even complete the 1.5km swimming while having a chat.)

(His first record was 37 minutes 24 seconds.)

(Iron Captain Kim Dong Hyun)

I'll do my best for you.

- Okay. - I got it.

- It's 1.1km? - Yes.

- Okay. - Yes, it's 1.1km.

You prepared well,

- so do your... - Defeat the Captain Kim!

Defeat the Captain Kim!

Iron Girls pass the finishing line!

It's 3m, 2m, and 1m!

They enter the finishing line!

It's the end of the game!

(The legend of e-sports broadcasts our game?)

Hello, everyone.

So, the 2024 Iron Girls 1st Swimming Competition...

for 1.5km of a relay competition will be held.

I'm caster Jeon Yong Joon.

Nice to meet you!

His energy is amazing!

Is it okay for you to shout at 9pm?

Totally fine.

Thanks to his powerful voice,

today's long-distance competition...

will be very suspenseful.

- Nice! - Thanks!

And we also need an expert in swimming, right?

He's the only one who played in the Summer Games.

The best expert in the triathlon in Korea.

(Is he a member of the national team?)

He's a silver medalist in the Asian Games...

and a former member of the national team. Heo Min Ho!

Let's welcome. It's Heo Min Ho!

(Finally, he came!)

Nice to meet you. I'm Heo Min Ho!

(Heo Min Ho is confirmed to compete in the triathlon in the Olympics.)

(He's the only triathlon medalist in Korea.)

(He's a living legend in the triathlon field.)

(The former national member of triathlon, Heo Min Ho)

Nice to meet you. I'm Heo Min Ho!

- Nice to meet you! - Hello!

No way!

To compete in the Summer Games,

you should be in 30th place in the world.

But he did that.

Nice to meet you.

(It's amazing!)

We're a bit awkward now as we are still amateurs.

But you two are too great ones here.

You two may broadcast in the actual Summer Games.

I'm a bit embarrassed.

How can you make them...

visit us at 9pm...

- because of us? - No, it's okay.

Captain Kim told me...

that Iron Girls were doing so well,

so I was also curious to see each of you.

Although we expect a lot, don't be pressured by it.

Sorry?

Should we be ready by now?

- Yes, be prepared for it. - Okay.

(Warm-up time)

(The Iron Captain Kim's warming up.)

(As swimming cutting through the water,)

(he warms up quite seriously.)

"2024 Iron Girls 1st Swimming Competition."

It's going to start soon.

As for Captain Kim,

he did a 50m lap.

Is it a waste of his energy?

Or is it necessary?

- I'd say it's good for him. - I see.

But he looks already tired.

I don't think he's in a good condition.

He already wasted his energy while warming up.

But I know he often pretends to be tired,

but he will be doing well...

- in the actual game. - Indeed.

- He's an adventurer, so to speak. - Yes.

Do you know he wrote a book before?

- Really? - Yes.

He wrote about mentality,

and there's a line I like.

What's it?

"Acting is also a part of the competition."

- He's acting now. - That's right.

It's good if the opponents think he's easy.

He accepts things for what they are.

- That's right. - Or he can intimidate opponents.

- Yes. - I see.

He wants us to believe he has nothing.

Uie, something's wrong?

Do we always have to do the freestyle?

No, it's not.

Please, do what suits you well.

In the triathlon,

there's no rule on how to swim?

Actually, there is. Breaststroke is forbidden.

- The combat swimming is possible? - Yes, it's okay.

- Dog paddle is also okay? - Yes.

It's allowed.

Breaststroke without using legs is allowed?

"Breaststroke without using legs?"

- That is... - I'm also curious.

How could you do that?

(This is how it works!)

For the last 30 years of my career,

I haven't seen that before either.

That looks stable.

It's a new way of swimming style.

We'll call it Park Ju Hyun swimming style.

- "Park Ju Hyun swimming style." - "Park Ju Hyun swimming style."

Without using her legs!

(Not using her legs is the point.)

- Oh, gosh! - There she goes!

Without using her legs!

(Uie starts warming up.)

That's Uie!

(Forget the cycle novice Uie.)

We can see she was a former athlete.

- Her position is perfect. - I see.

Isn't it a dolphin kick?

(Isn't it a dolphin kick?)

(It's a skill that only athletes can do.)

- That's right. - Amazing!

That's the skill!

Uie's the only one who can perform the skill perfectly.

She's not Uie,

but Uone. It's Uie, right?

- That was a good line. - Thanks.

- It was nice. - Thanks.

He's also a bit motivated.

(He's holding in check, feeling worried.)

He's acting again.

I see.

What's Captain Kim doing now?

He's standing on his hands.

(He's showing off his power with a weird position.)

Stop wasting your energy, Captain Kim.

(He listens to it well, at least.)

- As for Jin Seo Yeon, - Yes?

she is kind of a beginner.

It's been a month and a half for her.

A month and a half. She also had a fear of water.

She's swimming while overcoming her fear of water.

Have you overcome your fear of water?

It must've been hard for you to overcome that mentally.

- I'm still scared. - You're still scared?

She's still challenging herself even when she's scared.

She definitely is an Iron Girl.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

(The captain got splashed with water out of nowhere.)

Let's go!

There you go.

- Isn't she cheating? - You can do this.

You can make it happen.

Isn't she cheating?

She's intimidating the person next to her.

Please refrain from doing that.

Hello, viewers.

The 2024 Iron Girls 1st 1.1km Relay Swimming Competition.

I'm here for the first competition in history,

and I'm Caster Jeon Yong Jun.

I'm Heo Min Ho, a guest commentator.

Hello.

(The atmosphere is as hot as the Summer Games.)

We are currently in a swimming pool in Goyang...

for the 1.1km swimming competition.

Our swimmers look very determined.

I will introduce to you today's swimmers.

Swimmer One. "I will show you how much a swimmer develops!"

Captain Jin, Jin Seo Yeon!

(Swimmer 1, Jin Seo Yeon, Iron Girls)

Here's Swimmer Two.

"I have a lot to overcome,"

"but my competitive spirit will lead me!" The competitive one,

Park Ju Hyun!

(Swimmer 2, Park Ju Hyun, Iron Girls)

Here's Swimmer Three.

"The power of a former swimmer! The swimming pool is my stage!"

The official mermaid of the Iron Girls,

Uie!

(Swimmer 3, Uie, Iron Girls)

There's only one swimmer that will go against them.

"Call me Swimming Gun instead of Stun Gun today."

The captain of the Iron Girls,

Kim Dong Hyun!

(Swimmer 4, Kim Dong Hyun, Iron Girls Captain)

Even if it's Dong Hyun, going against three won't be easy.

- Right. - We'll look forward to it.

The 2024 Iron Girls 1st 1.1km Relay Swimming Competition.

It will...

begin...

now!

Let's go!

Let's go!

(You can feel the suffocating tension between the swimmers.)

(They slowly enter the pool.)

(Just a month ago,)

(it was hard for her to even enter the water.)

- Just a month and a half ago, - Right.

she was afraid to even put her head in the water...

- with her fear of water. - Right.

She's still afraid of water.

However, she will compete as an athlete.

She has a great mindset of an athlete.

Seo Yeon! You can do this.

(Seo Yeon!)

(For Seo Yeon who must feel nervous as the first swimmer)

- Iron! Girls! Go! - Iron! Girls! Go!

They're cheering for each other while bumping fists.

The 1.1km race.

It will be the three of them. Unfortunately,

Seol In Ah hurt her shoulder...

during the morning training session.

- She has a shoulder injury. - Right.

So only these three swimmers are ready to compete.

Right. We wish for a speedy recovery...

for Seol In Ah.

All right. The first swimmer, Seo Yeon will do three laps.

Dong Hyun is all on his own.

He must do 22 laps.

Ready!

(The race begins!)

The 2024 Iron Girl 1st 1.1km Relay Swimming Competition.

The race has begun.

(The captain pushes forward with a great speed from the start.)

Dong Hyun's pace is great right now.

Recently, he competed in a triathlon...

and secured a record of 37 minutes.

It isn't easy to record 37 minutes in just a month.

- He's a machine. He's got it. - Right.

(What about Seo Yeon?)

Take it slow.

The 2024 Iron Girls 1st 1.1km Relay Swimming Competition.

(She puts her head in the water without the kickboard.)

(She's swimming!)

I'm worried about Seo Yeon. How is she doing?

It doesn't seem like she's a swimmer...

that has a fear of water.

- Her form is very nice. - Right.

(Progress made in just a month)

You're doing great!

(The result of blood, sweat, and tears)

(She was afraid of even entering the water.)

(She mustered up her courage...)

(to get close to water.)

(For a month,)

(she devoted herself to her swimming training sessions.)

(From basic breathing...)

(to swimming like this,)

(Seo Yeon has put in a lot of effort.)

(A strong leap to become an Iron Girl)

(The brave first step)

She's following him really well.

She's doing well.

(From the start,)

(Seo Yeon is pushing forward without stopping.)

Let's go!

(Kim Dong Hyun: 0m, Iron Girls: 0m)

(Kim Dong Hyun: 25m, Iron Girls: 0m)

(Without stopping...)

We won't expect amazing turns...

as this is not a professional competition.

The pace can be controlled like that if needed.

The pace can be controlled like that.

Even during a triathlon,

lanes are set up for those who need a break.

- I see. - There's no issue with that.

This is just the buildup...

- for the triathlon. - That's right.

She swam all 25m without stopping.

That's a big improvement in just a month.

To be honest,

(The younger ones look worried about her.)

- that is a really hard thing to do. - Right.

(It doesn't look easy for her to start again.)

(After taking a deep breath...)

- She's swimming again. - She's swimming again.

(Seo Yeon tries to muster up her courage.)

(She's heading for the 50m mark.)

At that start,

I heard that Seo Yeon practiced her kicking with the snorkel.

I see.

Be able to kick well...

- is actually... - She flipped herself.

- Backstroke is allowed, right? - Yes. It's allowed.

Breaststroke is not allowed, but backstroke is.

- It's a new strategy. - Right.

She's doing well. Some athletes use that method to breathe.

You're doing great.

You need that sort of adaptation in the sea.

- It's her first... - She finished her first lap.

Right. It's her first lap out of three.

- Dong Hyun has already done two. - Right.

He has done 100m.

(Kim Dong Hyun: 100m, Iron Girls: 50m)

(He goes again without taking a break.)

He swims again.

(It's a 50m difference between the 2 of them.)

She looks out of breath.

Just swim as much as you can. I'll take care of the rest.

She will be able to breathe soon.

(Uie comforts Seo Yeon who is feeling afraid.)

In the swimming center in front of my house,

they teach to how to swim freestyle in the rookie class...

for two months.

She finished a two-month course in just a month.

In just a month and a half. She has trained herself...

without stopping.

(However, her breathing can't seem to calm down.)

(Her fear also starts to overwhelm her.)

(After taking a deep breath,)

(Seo Yeon shows a sign that she's okay.)

After taking a deep breath,

she gets ready to go again.

It's Seo Yeon's second lap.

(She starts again for the 75m mark.)

Here she goes.

(The members clap for her.)

The support from her members. It helps a lot, doesn't it?

Definitely.

She knows that her members are rooting for her from behind.

Right.

Ju Hyun seems to be checking Seo Yeon's record.

(Because of the fear of water that she has,)

(she lifts her head too much.)

(Her legs sink every time she breathes because of that.)

(Meanwhile, the captain reaches the 150m mark.)

(Seo Yeon has 75m left.)

She flipped herself again.

(Shouting)

She's letting out a shout.

She's not struggling. She's letting out a shout.

- It's a shout of concentration. - Right.

(She reaches the 75m mark with a shout of concentration.)

She completed the first 25m without any issues,

but she may need a few techniques...

- to carry on with her race. - You're doing great, Seo Yeon!

We were focused on Seo Yeon's swimming,

and we weren't able to care about the captain's swimming.

There's nothing much to say about him. He's quietly...

He's quietly and steadily progressing with his race.

But he can't be slowing down from the start.

The last swimmer is the former swimmer, Uie.

He must swim as much as he can if possible.

It's so exhausting as it has been a while to swim.

(Checking)

(The captain swims again without taking a break.)

(Meanwhile, Seo Yeon...)

(has trouble breathing because of her fear.)

She should just do 100m.

- You'll be done if you come back. - Just up to this lap.

I think it's hard for Seo Yeon to breathe right now.

(Seo Yeon gets lost in thought for a while.)

(She gives up.)

You're stopping right now?

(Seo Yeon decided that she can't carry on.)

You should move over there.

- Go over there? - Go over there.

(A sudden change of swimmers)

Go over there.

(She did her best,)

(but she was still afraid of the water.)

- Right now... - There's a switch.

The baton has been passed to Ju Hyun.

Right.

(Good luck!)

Seo Yeon completed 75m.

That's right.

(Final record: 75m)

(The second swimmer of the Iron Girls, Ju Hyun starts!)

(A neat start)

The members have an idea of...

Check out the way Ju Hyun pushes forward.

I heard she did a lot of aquatic rehabilitation...

because of her knees.

- Right. - That may be why...

she doesn't look afraid of water.

She's an athlete that is very competitive.

She's doing great.

- She's pushing forward. - Right.

(She swam like Boktteong as she couldn't swim freestyle.)

Go!

(From kicking to breathing and moving her arms)

(She learned each step one by one from the start.)

(As the daughter of Busan, she swam in the sea of Busan.)

(She devoted herself to the training at any place and time.)

(She can swim freestyle now.)

(Her skills have improved drastically...)

(thanks to her many hours of training.)

(The rising swimming star of the Iron Girls)

You're doing amazing.

You're doing amazing.

(She reaches the 25m mark in a flash.)

Gosh!

(She swims right away after touching the turning point.)

She's pushing forward even better than Dong Hyun.

Right. She's catching up to him!

Gosh!

Ju Hyun is already catching up.

(She stretches out her shoulders in a straight line.)

She's moving a lot more than him with each stroke.

Right. The captain is catching his breath.

He's moving again after breathing heavily.

(I'll be off first.)

- She completed 50m. - Right.

Gosh.

(Is there an issue?)

(She seems to have trouble with her breathing.)

(The wetsuit is worn tightly for buoyancy...)

(and maintaining body temperature.)

(She said it felt uncomfortable from the start.)

(While Ju Hyun is struggling with the wetsuit,)

(Captain Kim makes the gap between them bigger.)

(She catches her breath.)

She's heading for the 75m mark again.

She moved again without taking a long break.

- She's at a steady pace. - Right.

Ju Hyun was a band vocalist during high school.

Wouldn't that mean she could control her breath well?

That must be why she is maintaining her breath well.

Right.

(She has reached 75m, half of her goal.)

Can you do more?

Can you do more?

- I'll do another lap. - Do another lap.

It's safety first, safety second,

and safety third.

I urge the swimmers to understand their conditions...

and compete in the race accordingly.

Uie is currently checking the conditions...

- of Seo Yeon and Ju Hyun. - Right.

It's so long.

Can you do it?

We can hear her breathing heavily from all the way here.

Ju Hyun moves again with confidence.

Dong Hyun seems to be taking it easy.

I don't think it's time to be taking it easy. He has to carry on.

Right. But as you mentioned,

his acting...

could be a part of the race.

We can't be totally sure about his current condition.

(Dong Hyun's condition is hard to predict.)

(Captain Kim reaches the 300m mark.)

(Her legs are sinking a lot more than the start.)

(Her speed has gotten a lot slower too.)

(There's only 50m left!)

She turns right away...

without taking a break.

It seems like she has great endurance.

She's continuing to show signs of improvement.

- She has a great lung capacity. - Right.

Her breathing, gliding, and kicking is great.

(It must be hard for her, but Ju Hyun is doing well.)

She's at a much higher level for someone who has trained for a month.

A bit more!

Can you carry on?

Can you carry on?

How many laps do I have left?

- You just have half a lap left. - Gosh.

I still have more left?

Still?

- You should wait there. - You will stop there? Okay.

(The former swimmer Uie finally gets ready.)

(She moves to the final 150m mark.)

She's continuing her race.

It's Ju Hyun.

(She carries on without giving up.)

(There's just a bit more left until the end!)

- You're done. - Gosh.

(Ju Hyun completes her goal of 150m!)

(Uie finally starts her race!)

(The final swimmer of the Iron Girls to take the baton from Ju Hyun)

(The one that must stop the perfect Iron Man's race)

(The only one that can make that possible, Uie)

(Uie starts.)

She's showing us from the start.

She's doing great. She's definitely a former swimmer.

(Current distance away from the captain: 125m)

- Isn't this textbook swimming? - It's textbook swimming.

This should be filmed...

and used as a model example of freestyle.

Shouldn't this be made into a video for that?

It feels like I'm watching a world championship race.

- Did you see the dolphin kick? - Yes.

(Uie's signature dolphin kick)

- That's impressive. - Right.

Her turns are amazing.

You should watch this carefully.

Like this.

Here's her turn again.

(Another turn at the 50m mark)

That's a perfect example of a turn.

(Uie saves time with a quick turn.)

She showed a perfect example of a flip turn.

(She's chasing after him in an amazing speed.)

Just as we speak,

- Dong Hyun completed 400m. - Right.

- He did eight laps. - That's a lot.

Uie did a turn as well.

- Uie caught up a lot. - Right.

At this pace, the race will be hard to predict.

Right.

She graduated from a physical education high school,

and she was a swimmer for seven years.

Since she was a former swimmer,

she must feel that much more pressure.

(Uie moves again right after making the touch.)

- Her turns are great. - Right.

With the way she's breathing...

and the way she's making her strokes,

she feels like a professional swimmer.

(He did 9 laps alone. He needs a bit of a break.)

You're doing so well.

- Let's go! - You're amazing.

(The distance between them: 75m)

- Uie's moving at a great pace. - Right.

Dong Hyun is taking breaks in between,

but Uie is swimming without any breaks.

It's better than swimming fast and taking breaks.

It's better to swim at a consistent pace.

It's important to be consistent. She already...

caught up by a lap in 150m.

(Hang in there just a bit more.)

(The current 25m pace of these two)

(Uie: 24 seconds, Dong Hyun: 39 seconds)

Dong Hyun is sinking a bit.

He looks a bit exhausted now.

(It's a 50m gap now.)

(He continues to push forward once again.)

Let's go!

Ten laps!

(The distance between them is just 25m.)

(Uie chases after him at a scary speed.)

We'll do an interim check.

Uie is currently in charge of a long distance.

What is the current score...

between Captain Kim and the Iron Girls?

Dong Hyun completed 550m.

- Right. - Uie also did 550m.

- They both did 550m? - That means...

she'll catch up to him very soon.

So it will be a tie if she catches up with him.

Right.

Captain Kim will get caught if he doesn't move.

(He's very close to getting caught.)

Captain Kim has started again.

Didn't I tell you this earlier? There's no time for him to rest.

You were right.

He's pretty much caught up at this point.

It seems that Uie has found her pace.

The actual distance that you see between them...

shows the distance between the Iron Girls and Captain Kim.

- It's about a 5m difference. - It's about a 5m difference.

- Gosh, Uie. - She's already catching up.

She has almost caught up with him.

- You caught up with him. - She's almost there.

- They both did 12 laps. - Right.

She's right by his hips.

She's pushing forward!

(Did she finally manage to take the lead?)

- You're amazing! - Uie!

- She went past him! - She went past him!

(In just 400m after she came in, she takes the lead.)

- She went past him! - She went past him!

Uie takes the lead!

(Uie takes the lead.)

In the end, she caught up...

and overtook him.

Uie is swimming 50m, 1 round...

exactly in 49 seconds.

- I see. - She's like AI.

Yes. The distance between them is widening.

I think about 15m now.

Kim Dong Hyun's movements are getting rougher.

He's splashing a lot of water too.

(He's splashing a lot of water too.)

- Uie is pretty relaxed. - Yes.

She is strictly keeping her pace too.

(She is maintaining her pace.)

The distance between them is pretty big.

Yes. She caught him up by almost a full round.

Captain Kim started the new round.

(Nobody can catch up to her when she swims.)

She doesn't waver.

She won't splash any water on you even if you were right beside her.

That's how smooth Uie is swimming.

They are wearing wetsuits in the swimming pool.

In the sea, it's good for keeping you warm,

but in a swimming pool, it's very hot.

- So it tires them out quickly. - I see.

You must take that into account.

Seventeen.

Five more rounds to go.

(Even after that, she maintains that insane speed without a break.)

(She repeats that for a long time.)

- Just two more rounds! - You can do it.

(She only has 100m left!)

(Genuinely impressed)

She's giving it a last spurt.

- Yes. - She's kicking harder now.

Does that mean she's been pacing herself?

Since she was a professional swimmer,

she knows how to pace herself.

I was shocked to hear that.

Dong Hyun swam 900m,

- which is 18 rounds. - Yes.

What's the distance left for Uie?

- This is her final round. - Her final round.

Seo Yeon and Ju Hyun stood up...

to welcome Uie.

Actually,

I didn't expect Iron Girls to do this well.

- Me too. - But they're doing great...

- while showing impressive teamwork. - I agree.

If the match took place as soon as the filming started today,

- they'd have done much better. - Of course.

They are amazing.

(Swimming toward the end)

- She's almost there. - Now... My gosh.

- She only has ten meters left. - She's almost there.

- Ten meters left. - Five meters.

- Three meters. - Her last spurt.

- That's her final spurt. - One meter.

Uie finishes.

(Uie finishes swimming 875m.)

Uie finishes.

They are amazing. A thousand meters in total.

That's right.

The 2024 1st Iron Girls relay swimming match.

The winners are Iron Girls!

Congratulations.

(Excited to have won)

We won.

What an incredible record.

(Wait, the match ended.)

Look at Dong Hyun.

- He is completing the race. - Yes.

The responsibility given to him.

That's his responsibility as a captain.

The members could renew their resolves from watching him.

It's heartwarming to see him pushing through until the end.

(I already ran out of stamina,)

(but I cannot stop here.)

He's the best swimmer of all beginners.

That's right.

(I'll only stop when I complete the race.)

Once he reaches there, he has two rounds left.

That is his 20th round, 1,000m.

Yes.

Captain Kim, you can stop now.

You can stop.

He has two more rounds left.

(Despite Iron Girls telling him to stop, he starts swimming again.)

He suddenly speeds up.

Captain Kim is suddenly swimming fast.

Dong Hyun is...

- reaching farther now. - Yes.

It means he's using his strength.

- As expected of him. - You can do it!

- You can do it! - You can do it!

The members are supporting him.

As they say, praise breeds willingness.

You can do it!

(Praise breeds Captain's willingness.)

- He's almost there. The last one. - This is the last round.

The final 25m!

- The last one. - They're rooting for him.

Just a bit more, Captain!

(Finally swimming toward the final destination)

Actually, a triathlon is an individual sport,

- Yes. - but when you train like this,

teamwork is very important.

I see.

I was impressed by Iron Girls' teamwork.

Me too.

- Yes, he finishes the race. - He did.

(Dong Hyun swims 1,100m successfully.)

Kim Dong Hyun, he's the happiest captain alive.

Yes.

With that, the 2024 1st Iron Girls...

relay swimming match of 1.1km...

is won by Iron Girls.

But I believe everyone is a winner.

We'll come back...

for the second match that may or may not happen.

It was Caster Jeon Yong Jun.

- And Heo Min Ho. - Thank you.

First of all...

(Dazed)

I didn't think there would be this big of a difference. I'm sorry.

I'll invite professional swimmers next time.

- Don't. - I'm sorry.

- I think it was too easy. - It wasn't at all.

(It was more than tiring.)

- Heo Min Ho joined us today. - Goodness.

Please give us an overall evaluation.

It's only been a month and a half since we started training.

I actually heard...

that you only started learning how to swim recently.

Two of you... Honestly, I was very surprised.

I didn't think you'd swim this much.

Seo Yeon, even though you have a fear of water,

you did really well.

It'll be helpful...

to keep practicing in the water and think of it as your room.

Ju Hyun, you have good posture...

and are fast.

Instead, you need to build stamina...

to swim long distances.

Uie, as expected of an ex-swimmer,

you're fast. You swam 875m...

in less than 15 minutes.

If you swim 1.5km like this,

you can finish the swimming course within 25 minutes.

I'm not worried about your swimming at all.

I believe you can do it.

- I really want to learn from you. - Seriously.

If there's time for it,

it'd be nice to train together next time.

- I'd love to. - Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Aren't you curious about...

- the next training? - What is it?

- Aren't you? - What is it?

I'm a bit scared.

- Are you scared? - Yes.

Swimming is most important for us now.

- It's the hardest. - Yes.

It's the first open-water training in the sea.

So we're going to Jeju Island.

(Jeju Island training camp, first open water)

It's going to be a training camp.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Iron Girls in Jeju Island)

(Jeju Island's symbols are rocks, women,)

(and wind.)

(What is Jeju Island to Iron Girls?)

(Swimming)

(Hurrah!)

(The first open water swimming in the open Jeju sea!)

(Cycling)

(A relaxing outdoor cycling by the coast)

(Running)

(A special training camp where they do all three!)

(Iron Girls' longest cycling course in Jeju Island!)

(With Coach Heo Min Ho)

(Enjoying the Jeju wind)

(I'm falling in love with my cycling self.)

(Iron In Ah makes a dash with her enhanced stamina.)

(She doesn't stop pedaling.)

(The oldest member is excited too.)

(Very relaxed)

(But...)

(Uie struggles alone this time too.)

(Is outdoor cycling still tough for her?)

(Can Uie complete the course?)
