(17 days left until the Tongyeong competition)

Seventeen days.

(Lifeguards and ambulance)

(Set up like the actual competition)

(Iron Girls' mock competition)

(Swimming 1.5km)

(Cycling 40km)

(Running 10km)

(Iron Girls tried the full course for the first time.)

(Uie the Mermaid swam ahead from the start.)

(Ju Hyun and In Ah followed her closely behind.)

(The two sped up.)

(Uie, 1.5km swimming, 27 minutes 03 seconds)

(In Ah, 1.5km swimming, 32 minutes 08 seconds)

(Ju Hyun, 1.5km swimming, 37 minutes 32 seconds)

(While the members have finished the swimming course, )

(Seo Yeon was left in the swimming course on her own.)

(Can she finish the course in time?)

(Uie is the first to finish the swimming course.)

(She gets changed quickly.)

(She heads to the bicycle boarding line.)

(Triathlon rule: You must walk your bicycle to the boarding line.)

(Panting)

It's time for cycling, my worst enemy.

You learned this. I won't tell you.

I'll see how you do it here.

Okay.

- From here. - Yes.

- Cross the line. - Yes, cross it.

That's right.

(Uie, cycling)

(Start)

(How is the 40km cycling course that they need to complete today?)

(Starting point, swimming course)

(Starting point, turning point)

(A 1-lap course where you need to pass the turning point)

(1. A vast field course)

(Past the wide field...)

(2. Samcheok downtown course)

(3. Coastal road course)

(Past the refreshing ocean view...)

(are the winding road with continuous curves...)

(and the very steep uphill road.)

That's it.

Pedal here. Okay.

(Cutoff time for cycling, 2 hours 30 minutes)

(Time left for Uie, 1 hour 59 minutes)

Let's move to the right lane.

That's it. Move in naturally. Okay.

Keep pedaling.

That's it.

You have to pedal here. Okay.

- It's downhill. - No, this isn't.

- Is it not? - No. Come this way.

- You should cycle here. - I want to go there too.

Take it slow. Hold it gently.

Don't be tense. This part is fine.

Okay, relax. That's it.

(Driving past)

(Passing by fast)

(Road cycling is too scary for Uie the novice cyclist.)

(A deep sigh)

A truck is coming behind you, so don't cycle outward.

Stay where you are.

Okay.

It's passing by now. In 3, 2, 1.

(Holding her breath)

Okay, it passed by.

What should I do?

(Risk factor 2: Bumps appearing one after another)

(Goodness!)

(Biting down on her lips)

(Goodness!)

(Sighing)

(When she cycles over one bump, )

Oh, please.

(another bump appears.)

(Holding her breath and breathing out)

(She keeps holding her breath when she cycles over the bumps.)

Let's cycle a bit faster.

- Okay. - If you cycle at this speed,

it'll take us more than two hours.

- Really? - Yes.

(Uie the ace might get cut off?)

What should I do?

(Current speed: 19km per hour)

(Truck incoming)

(She stops pedaling out of fear.)

You stop pedaling halfway.

You should break the habit.

- Okay. - Once you do, you'll be perfect.

(She has to speed up to make it before the cutoff.)

That's it.

Coach, but I'm scared.

(She had outdoor cycling training sessions every day, )

(but the actual road...)

This direction, that's right.

(is so different from the Han River where she trained every day.)

This is so scary.

(Fear starts to seep into her again.)

- I'll pass the downtown with you. - Okay.

Come over to this lane.

- Okay. - Come over here.

(Uie just can't seem to speed up.)

(In Ah is the second member to start cycling.)

(Cycling at lightning speed)

(Exhaling)

(Relaxed)

(She even takes some time to enjoy the view.)

(Current speed: 30km per hour)

(She is like a professional cyclist.)

(Iron In Ah cuts across the wind.)

(Distressed)

This isn't a bump. Keep pedaling.

(Uie is in the lead, but her lips keep getting dry.)

Be confident. This is a flat ground.

It isn't.

(Uie)

(She is still advancing slowly.)

I'll get past you.

(It is Iron In Ah.)

- She is passing by you. - You can do it!

Kim Yu Jin! You can do it.

(She overtakes Uie in the lead.)

(She cycles away leisurely.)

Still, Uie is cycling well.

(Feeling relieved, she starts cycling fast again.)

(Current speed: 32km per hour)

(With her monstrous stamina, she caught up the 3km gap at once.)

(Starting point)

(In Ah overtakes Uie and takes the lead.)

(At the same time...)

Focus.

(Ju Hyun is the third member to start cycling.)

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

I can do it!

- Ju Hyun! - Yes!

Thank you.

(Staring)

It's a goat.

(Extroverted Ju Hyun communicates with both people and animals.)

I'm cycling at the speed of the person walking.

(She focuses again.)

(A quick corner-turning)

(She passes over the bump quickly.)

(Current speed: 26km per hour)

(Meanwhile, )

(Seo Yeon is still swimming.)

(Seo Yeon, Dong Hyun)

(Panting)

Didn't I stroke about 20 times?

You did a lot.

You're doing well.

I'm moving forward faster than just now.

Yes, you've warmed up.

We're cutting it close.

Let's go all the way at once.

Go.

(She has completely warmed up now.)

(She starts swimming again energetically.)

(She passes the 1,125m point.)

(For the Tongyeong competition, )

(the cutoff for swimming is 50 minutes.)

(Can she finish swimming 1.5km in 50 minutes?)

(She passes the final floating mark.)

(About 300m left now)

(The judge watches the race carefully.)

She is pacing herself better in the second round.

She's doing very well.

Good.

(Even if she stops for a moment...)

You're swimming fast.

- Go. Let's go. - Okay.

(She collects herself and starts swimming again.)

(About 250m left to finish the course)

(For the remaining section, she doesn't stop once.)

(Seo Yeon swims toward the goal.)

(After a long fight, )

(Seo Yeon completes the 1.5km swimming course.)

You're amazing. You're really amazing.

(You're amazing!)

(You're really amazing!)

(The vast open water just like the actual course)

(Seo Yeon overcomes her fear...)

(and completes the 1.5km open-water swimming course for the 1st time!)

(How long did she take to complete the course?)

(Seo Yeon, 1.5km swimming, 1 hour 18 seconds)

You finished swimming 1.5km.

The cutoff for swimming is actually 50 minutes.

It took me 1 hour and 18 seconds.

I took less time than I thought, so I was surprised.

(She swam faster than she thought!)

Actually, if I get cut off,

I can't cycle or run in the Tongyeong competition.

So I was very concerned.

But after today, that concern turned into hope.

I got more confidence too.

I decided to trust myself more.

Go.

(She is 10 minutes past the cutoff time.)

- I can do it. - You can do it, really.

If you disregard the break you had from cramps, you took 55 minutes.

You can make it.

(Just try a bit harder, and you can make it!)

In just three months,

from being unable to swim 20m, you got to swim 1.5km.

(She must make up for the time she lost from swimming...)

(with cycling.)

(I'll cycle as fast as I can!)

(Eating an energy gel)

(She quickly puts on her helmet...)

(and cycling shoes.)

Let's go.

(She checks her equipment too!)

- Be confident. - Okay.

You can do it.

(She is very far behind from the other members, )

(but Iron Mentality is more passionate than ever.)

(Time spent at the transition area by Seo Yeon, 4 minutes 53 seconds)

(Seo Yeon starts cycling.)

Go.

I finished swimming.

(Panting)

I can cycle fine too.

I can do everything.

I can do this.

(Iron Mentality strengthens her resolve.)

(After self mentality care, )

(she speeds up.)

You're doing well.

Good.

Good.

The speed is perfect.

You're fast.

- Keep an eye on the ground. - Okay.

Good. Current speed is 32km per hour.

Current speed is 32km per hour, 31km.

(Out of the members, she passes that area fastest.)

(In just 10 minutes since she started cycling, )

- It's 5km. - Yes, 5km.

(she has cycled 5km.)

(All the members are cycling.)

(Where is In Ah in the lead?)

It's 14km.

(In 35 minutes, she passes the 14km point.)

I have 26km left.

Are the others doing okay?

(She is worried about the others who are coming behind her.)

(Clicking)

(She shifts up the gear.)

(She looks straight ahead and cycles!)

(She passes the 15km point.)

(Her posture is perfect like an expert.)

Going downhill is so fun.

(She cycles fast, excited.)

(Looking around)

(Looking around)

(A forked road in front of her?)

I don't know the way!

I don't know the way!

There he is.

(She spots the attendant.)

I should ask him.

Which way do I go?

Straight?

Straight. Go straight.

(She wants to stop and ask the way.)

Yes.

I asked, "Which way do I go?" and was about to get off,

but I forgot I was wearing cycling shoes and fell down.

(She forgot she was wearing cycling shoes, )

(and her feet got tangled up while trying to get off.)

Are you hurt anywhere?

I don't think I'm hurt.

My bicycle is hurt.

(She is more concerned about the bicycle than herself.)

Is the bicycle hurt elsewhere?

The fall must've been pretty bad.

The chain came off.

I think it's just the chain.

(The bicycle chain came off.)

Go straight.

(Uie and Coach Heo are approaching from behind.)

- Why did she stop? - Help me!

Why did you stop?

- Help me! - Why did you stop?

(Save In Ah!)

The bike chain came off!

(Coach Heo attends to her immediately.)

- Do I go on? - Yes, go.

Uie, focus. You can do it.

Where are you going?

Me... Don't look at me. Just go.

What should I do?

(The sad ace is worried about her but can't look back.)

(Coach Heo checks the bicycle.)

(The chain is loose.)

(Turning)

- What? - Let's go.

What did you do? What... Do you have a magic hand?

Yes.

(Tongyeong competition preparation tip:)

(Learn how to fix the chain in case of emergency.)

- This is embarrassing. - Don't be. This can happen.

She is already here.

The three of you overlapped at the 17km point.

- Cycle past. - Gosh, she's amazing.

- Okay. - What's wrong?

The chain had fallen off.

(Ju Hyun who started cycling third)

What a funny situation. So this can happen.

(In Ah starts cycling right after.)

(In Ah, Ju Hyun)

Gosh, my ten minutes.

That was a good rest.

(Ju Hyun is slightly ahead of In Ah.)

Gosh, is that Kim Uie?

She is riding well.

(Ju Hyun catches up to Uie too.)

I'm so glad to see her.

(Childish Park is excited to see Uie.)

Uie.

You're cycling so well, Kim Yu Jin.

Ju Hyun.

- Uie, just look forward and cycle. - Okay.

(Uie's downcast voice makes Ju Hyun worried.)

- Are you scared? - No. I was the only one here.

Uie, if you're scared, cycle on the inside.

Okay. Ju Hyun, just cycle at your pace.

This is as fast as I can go, anyway.

(Ju Hyun overtakes Uie and places 1st.)

(Chasing them closely from behind...)

(is In Ah.)

- I'm passing by. - Sure.

(She easily overtakes Uie.)

(She cycles toward Ju Hyun who is seen far away.)

(Here comes Iron In Ah.)

(Ju Hyun, In Ah)

(In Ah is right behind her!)

(Ju Hyun, In Ah)

(In Ah catches up to her at a scarily fast speed.)

(But...)

Oh, dear.

(In Ah catches up to her at a scarily fast speed.)

(But...)

Oh, dear.

(With an unrecognizable sound, )

(In Ah loses her balance and falls.)

What? Did In Ah fall?

What do we do?

The chain fell off again.

Did the chain fall off again?

Are you okay?

(In Ah is unable to get up easily.)

(She hit her pelvis hard when she fell.)

How is your pelvis?

Are you okay? We should soon get up. There may be cars behind.

It can cause an accident.

- You should get up now. - Wait. It hurts too much.

- Hold my hand. - Are you okay?

(She barely gets up and moves to the end of the road.)

- There's a car behind us. - Are you okay?

What is it? What happened?

(Uie, who was behind In Ah, also sees this.)

What's wrong?

- There's a car behind us. - Are you okay?

Let's stay to the side.

(Despite all this, she gives Uie a signal to pass her first.)

Her chain came off.

- It happened again. - Oh, my!

(She just sinks, not being able to endure the pain.)

It hurts a lot.

You fell off on your pelvis, right? Look at this. It's grazed too.

Why did the chain come off?

It can happen.

But what matters now is your pelvis.

(Coach Heo is worried about her condition.)

Do you think you can still make it?

What do you think?

- Get up slowly. - I've never had...

this kind of pain before.

Of course. You directly fell off.

(Will In Ah be able to continue the current game?)

What do you think?

Stand up slowly.

This type of pain is totally new.

I'm okay. It's rather funny.

You're doing well.

(She rather relieves him.)

Your stamina outperformed the bicycle.

(The Positive Iron Girl)

It was quite funny when I was falling off, to be honest.

Let's suppose...

this happened in the actual game.

Then do whatever...

- to get out of the road. - Okay.

There'll be many people behind you,

- so it can cause other incidents. - I see.

- The chain can come off again. - I should learn how to fix it.

- You should. - I got it.

If you are still hurt, don't push yourself too hard.

It's important to know if you can make it or not.

- Can you make it? - Absolutely.

Okay, then.

I'm going!

(In Ah starts cycling again.)

Thanks!

(Thanks, Coach Heo!)

I can do it!

(No matter how often I fall off, I get up again and run.)

(I'm Iron In Ah!)

(Starting point, turning point)

(Ju Hyun is about to reach the turning point.)

Wait. Another uphill road there?

(It's the highlight of the cycling course!)

What on earth...

(This endless uphill road with continuous curves is 1km long.)

Gosh!

Oh, please.

(She drinks the life-saving water.)

(The uphill road begins now.)

(Gasping)

(This place is filled with gasping sounds.)

If there's an uphill road, there should be a downhill road too.

No?

(That's what I learned in my life.)

Oh, here it comes!

Darn it!

Here comes the downhill road.

(The downhill road welcomes her.)

(Dashing)

(She starts dashing, feeling the fresh wind.)

I was told it would be 20km long. Where's the turning point?

(As she enters the last corner, she sees the turning point.)

It's 20km! The turning point!

(The cycling ace Ju Hyun passes the turning point first!)

Should I go back now?

(Ju Hyun, 22km turning point, 1 hour 36 minutes 58 seconds)

(Until the cutoff time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, )

(she has 53 minutes and 2 seconds left.)

Let's go back now.

I should enjoy the uphill again...

as much as I did coming down.

(While Ju Hyun gives a spurt again...)

(Turning point)

(Uie is also cycling uphill.)

(Here, all you can here is her heavy breathing.)

(But the downhill roads relieve her soon.)

Darn it.

It's so hard.

(Uie finds it harder to cycle downhill.)

I should also pedal on this downhill road.

(She couldn't pedal on downhill roads out of fear.)

(But she slowly pedals again.)

It makes me even more tired.

(But she slowly pedals again.)

I should keep pedaling here.

- Let's go! - You got this!

(Ju Hyun the racer swiftly passes her.)

(Ju Hyun)

(Ju Hyun dashes even faster on the downhill.)

She's crazy.

(Totally impressed)

How could she dash...

on the downhill road?

(Where Uie is cycling is also a downhill road.)

(Although being a bit slow, Uie also reaches the last corner.)

(She's still afraid of downhill, )

(but she finds her confidence...)

(and reaches the turning point.)

(Uie, 22km turning point, 1 hour 40 minutes 44 seconds)

I finally did it.

(Uie, 22km turning point, 1 hour 40 minutes 44 seconds)

(Although she's an ace who can drink only when standing up, )

(she passed the halfway point without falling off.)

Let's go again!

(She takes a deep breath to reaffirm her resolve...)

(and starts cycling again.)

Let's go!

(Until the cutoff time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, )

(she has 48 minutes and 30 seconds left.)

The uphill road never ends.

(Meanwhile, In Ah is...)

(Glancing)

I've spent too much time.

(I've spent too much time.)

(The last two falls made her spend too much time.)

(I'd be cut off at this pace.)

I can still do it.

(Iron In Ah starts dashing.)

(Current speed: 32km per hour)

(She reaches the turning point with a furious rush.)

(In Ah, 22km turning point, 1 hour 47 minutes 14 seconds)

(Until the cutoff time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, )

(she has 42 minutes and 46 seconds left.)

(She pushes herself to the limit.)

(The loud wind sound tells how fast she is going now.)

(I have no brake when cycling.)

(As she dashes like this...)

- Uie, watch out for the car behind. - I got it.

(She let the car pass her in a cool manner.)

- In Ah, wait until it drives away. - I did.

- Be careful of the cars. - Yes.

- Let's go! - We can make it.

Be careful so that never happens again.

- I love you! - Okay. Make sure the chain is fine!

(The current location of the girls)

(Seo Yeon is passing the 13km point now.)

- Seo Yeon, you got this! - I can do this.

- Jung Chan Sung, let's go! - Yes.

- "Jung Chan Sung?" - "Jung Chan Sung!"

- I thought he said police station. - Do you really look like him?

Sometimes, I hear, "Let's go Zombie," which is his nickname.

Shift the gear up.

(At that moment)

Jin Seo Yeon, you got this!

Let's go!

(She sees Ju Hyun heading back.)

I guess Seo Yeon finished swimming.

That's amazing.

(Ju Hyun passes her, impressed by Seo Yeon's performance.)

She's truly impressive.

- She's first now, right? - Yes.

- She's not that far ahead. - I guess so.

Oh, my.

- I should catch up! - Yes!

(Girls, I'm coming to catch you!)

(Speeding up)

- You do well on the downhill road. - Indeed.

- You've caught up a lot. - Yes.

We may catch up.

(As she was only focusing on catching up, )

(Seo Yeon also entered the uphill road.)

Nice!

This is uphill training.

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

(After one hour of swimming, )

Gosh.

(the uphill road feels a lot tougher.)

Be careful when shifting the gear.

(The uphill road feels a lot tougher.)

This is why we all were stuck there.

The uphill road was waiting. I see.

(She slowly goes up...)

Little more.

(following the uphill road.)

The last part is quite hard.

The last part is quite hard.

Watch out!

My gosh.

- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

That gear...

Oh, no.

You shouldn't change the gear on the uphill road.

(While Seo Yeon falls off on the uphill road, )

(In Ah swiftly comes down on the downhill road.)

(She sees Seo Yeon on the ground.)

(It's okay. Keep going!)

Let's go!

Let's go!

(In Ah cheers loudly and passes her.)

Once we check the bicycle...

Really?

(The team coach is called on to check up on the bicycle.)

- You can do it? Get on it here. - Yes.

Yes. Thanks!

(Seo Yeon starts again.)

But I didn't get hurt as I fell off.

- I know. What a relief. - Yes.

I should change the gear before the uphill road.

Yes, you shouldn't do it on the uphill road.

- She's coming. - Really? She's coming now?

- It's not a huge gap! - Nice!

- Let's go! - Nice!

Nice!

(She is cheered...)

Good.

(by Coach Heo and Uie.)

- I can do it! - You're almost there!

(She starts dashing!)

(She passes along the uphill road in a second...)

(and reaches the turning point.)

Okay.

(Seo Yeon, 22km turning point, 2 hours 1 minute 47 seconds)

- I'll keep going. - Okay.

(Until the cutoff time of 2 hours and 30 minutes, )

(she has 28 minutes left.)

(Starting point, turning point)

(Current location)

(Will Iron Girls be able to finish the course in time?)

You're doing well without falling.

(Uie's current stage)

I think you gained confidence in cycling.

- Let's do this! - Okay.

(Uie is cycling at her own pace.)

You should pace yourself when there's an uphill or downhill road.

- Okay. - Okay?

I'll come back later.

(Coach Heo is busy today for various reasons.)

(Uie is continuously cycling alone.)

I can...

just cycle at my own pace.

(Click)

(She's now good at shifting the gear herself.)

Is this the end?

There's a downhill.

(Gosh, there's a downhill.)

(She's now stable going down the hill that she was afraid of.)

Actually, today was...

my first time to pedal on a downhill.

It was my first time...

to realize that it wasn't scary to pedal...

on a downhill while cycling.

I understand why people like downhills.

For goodness' sake.

(She's learning to enjoy cycling bit by bit.)

(Ju Hyun, who's in the lead...)

I need to gain momentum.

I have 5km left!

(Remaining distance: 5km)

(She’s picking up speed for the final.)

Let's go!

(Remaining time: 14 minutes)

(I need to pedal harder!)

Let's go!

(Her goal is to finish the course within the cutoff.)

There are cow dungs.

My goodness.

Why are there so many dungs?

(Breathing)

(Passing the fertilizer course that's like a minefield)

(While Ju Hyun is battling herself, )

(another person is chasing her with a fierce momentum.)

(Ju Hyun and In Ah were quite far apart before, )

(but In Ah is getting closer by pedaling hard.)

Let's go.

(They're 3km apart from each other.)

(She's chasing at high speed.)

(Iron Girl's thighs never go tired.)

(She resumes her crazy ride.)

I have 3km left!

(Ju Hyun's remaining distance: 3km)

My face feels like it is going to rip apart.

My buttocks are about to burst.

(The 40km riding makes her feel pain all over her body.)

(She is reaching the limit of her stamina.)

I need to hurry.

(She's eager to finish the course like a real competition...)

Let's go!

(even though there's no cutoff.)

(Bring yourself together.)

(Cycling at full speed)

(She doesn't brake at corners.)

(Coach Heo chases her down.)

How far are we?

- We have 1.5km left. - Okay.

Not even 1.5km. It's 1km!

It's 1km!

(Soon, I'll complete two events!)

(Finally, the dismount line is visible.)

You need to get off before the line. Good.

Get off before the line. Brake. Don't go over the line.

Let's run.

(What's Ju Hyun's cycling record?)

This is too difficult.

(Ju Hyun, 40km cycling, 2 hours 22 minutes 41 seconds)

This is challenging for me.

(Her remarkable progress despite once being the weakest in stamina)

(Ju Hyun reaches the transition area.)

- Slowly. - Think about the rules.

- What do you do now? - I should put the wheel in first.

(Transition area rule:)

(After cycling, you must take off your helmet...)

(after parking the bicycle.)

(In a flurry)

Take it slow. Calm down.

Put the shoes in.

I'll go now.

(Ju Hyun, transition area 2, 3 minutes and 32 seconds)

(Forget about Ju Hyun with the weakest stamina.)

I'll come back soon.

My goodness.

(She's our new ace!)

Turn right.

(The running course that comes after turning right...)

(starts at the entrance to the beach, )

(follows a forest path for 1.3km, )

(loops around the turning point with a water station, )

(then continues for 1.2km along the coastline.)

(It's a 2.5km course.)

(Starting point, turning point)

(Water station, finish line)

(It's a 10km course with 4 laps.)

(It's her first time running 10km after finishing two events, )

(swimming and cycling.)

If the cutoff time is 3 hours and 30 minutes,

we have 1 hour and 4 minutes left.

(Remaining time: 1 hour and 4 minutes)

I should maintain my pace at 6 minutes per 1km.

Yes. In that way,

you won't exceed the cutoff time.

Your current pace is good.

Your pace is 5 minutes and 30 seconds per 1km. Amazing.

(Current pace: 5 minutes and 30 seconds)

I can't feel my thighs.

They just sprint themselves.

It's a good thing.

(Muscle switch is still in progress.)

Don't talk too much. Control your breathing.

Okay.

(A no-talking rule for finishing the race)

(She's been working out for 2 hours and 30 minutes.)

(Will she be able to complete the race?)

(There's only 2 minutes left until the cycling cutoff.)

Clip out of the cycling shoes, stop slowly, and get off the bike.

Clip out and take it slow.

(She's preparing to get off the bicycle safely.)

(Pedaling her best)

(In Ah's final sprint)

You are wearing cycling shoes. Remember that.

(With only 1 minute left, )

(she sees the dismount line.)

(She enters the final straight stretch.)

(She has to cross the dismount line for her record to be recognized.)

(She clips out of her cycling shoes without a problem.)

(What's In Ah's record?)

I'm so tired!

(In Ah, 40km cycling, 2 hours 29 minutes 21 seconds)

(She finished at 39 seconds before the cutoff...)

(even though she fell off twice.)

My legs aren't moving.

(Due to the hip pain from falling, )

(she seems to have difficulty in walking.)

I feel the pain now once I got off the bicycle.

(The pain she didn’t feel while cycling is...)

(gradually worsening...)

It hurts.

(after she's reaches the transition area.)

It hurts.

(She sits down in pain.)

(She seems to have difficulty in changing her shoes.)

I fell too many times.

I fell off really hard.

(While she is struggling to start...)

I think we're entering the coastline!

Yes, this is the coastline.

(Ju Hyun, who started running first, )

(is entering the coastline with a great view.)

One, two!

One, two!

One, two! That's it.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, cha-cha-cha.

One, two!

(It’s a chant that matches Childish Park's childish taste.)

One, two, cha-cha-cha.

(Thanks to the customized training)

Look, your rhythm is great. You aren't slowing down.

Your pace is good too.

(She's maintaining the rhythm of her running well.)

You're doing great. It's one lap once we get there.

Good!

(Ju Hyun passes the 2km point.)

(In Ah starts running even though she's in pain.)

(It doesn’t look easy because of the pain.)

If only I hadn’t fallen.

For goodness' sake.

(She's upset.)

(She tries to endure the pain, )

(but it continues to hurt.)

Let's keep going.

It'll be better after the muscle switch.

I can do this!

I can do it. Don't be a crybaby.

I can do it.

You won't be able to train like this again because of the drama.

This is your chance.

(Uie and Seo Yeon are still cycling.)

(Remaining distance: 7km for Uie and 10km for Seo Yeon)

(Uie would miss the cutoff if it were an actual race.)

(Seo Yeon would also miss the cutoff at cycling.)

(Even though Uie finished swimming in 27 minutes, she's still cut off.)

I cycled 40km for the first time today.

The 40km of cycling...

honestly felt too long for me.

Personally,

I thought if I could...

get a better record in cycling, I would be able to finish the race.

If I continue like today...

What should I do? Will I be able to finish the race?

The uncertainty hit home realistically.

Today made me feel very scared.

(The uncertainty about finishing the race has become a reality.)

(Uie passes the 35km point.)

You have 8km left. It's almost over!

(Seo Yeon is passing the 32km point.)

I really want to finish the race. Since there's no cutoff today,

I want to try until the end without giving up.

The last sprint!

(She tries speeding up again.)

I like your speed!

I can do this.

Your current speed is 37km per hour!

(Current speed: 37km per hour)

I passed the 34km point.

(She's just 2km behind Uie.)

Seo Yeon, we're almost there.

(Uie reaches the last 3km point.)

It's a straight course.

Thank you.

(She's grateful that she's almost done.)

Turn right.

We're almost done. You can do it!

(After 3 minutes, )

It's the last course!

(Seo Yeon enters the same course.)

This is unreal.

(There was 30 minutes difference in her swimming record with Uie.)

(But she made up for that in cycling.)

(The distance between them...)

(is only 1km.)

(The finish line of cycling)

(The remaining distance is only 800m.)

(Uie is slow but steady.)

(Seo Yeon is very speedy.)

(Who will reach first?)

(Uie reaches the dismount line first.)

(Uie, 40km cycling, 2 hours 45 minutes 21 seconds)

(Exceeding the cutoff by 15 minutes and 21 seconds)

(Even though Uie couldn't speed up a lot, )

(she finished her first 40km cycling without falling.)

(She arrives at the transition area with a brighter face.)

(After parking her bicycle quickly, )

(she eats an energy gel that others eat while cycling.)

(Uie can eat it only after getting off her bicycle.)

(She hydrates...)

(and starts again without a break.)

(Uie, transition area 2, 2 minutes and 59 seconds)

(Although she's been exercising for about 3 hours, )

(her face looks even brighter.)

(While Uie enters the running course)

- We're almost done! - We're almost done!

(Seo Yeon is the last person remaining in cycling.)

(She reaches the dismount line.)

Get off.

(Seo Yeon, 40km cycling, 2 hours 47 minutes 40 seconds)

Take it slow. Let's go.

(Seo Yeon finished cycling with only 2 minutes difference with Uie.)

It's hard for me too.

- This is hard. - It's hard for me too.

- For goodness' sake. - Three hours of cardio exercise.

- I got goosebumps. - Let's go.

(The intensity of the triathlon is chillingly impressive.)

You did it!

(She’s just behind Uie, who's in the 3rd place.)

- I can do it! - It's almost over.

Everything you hate is over.

(Seo Yeon reaches the transition area.)

(She's struggling more than usual, )

(as if she’s reached her limit.)

(She sits down.)

My socks.

(Even while changing her socks...)

(Sighing)

I'm too tired.

Why am I doing this?

(Time is passing, but her stamina isn’t keeping up.)

(Groaning)

(Seo Yeon can't get up easily.)

I feel tired too.

Do you want to give up?

Don’t talk nonsense!

Do you want to give up? Hurry.

(He motivates her by teasing.)

- Let's go. - Yes!

(She starts again with great energy.)

(Seo Yeon, transition area 2, 6 minutes and 27 seconds)

You spent 6 minutes and 30 seconds at the transition area.

- What? Seriously? - Spent 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

(Tip: Reduce the time you spend at the transition area.)

(Seo Yeon enters the running course.)

Do you want to give up?

Don’t talk nonsense!

Let me know if you want to give up.

The ending is already set.

Okay!

- Tell me if you want to give up. - We're finishing the race.

You can give up anytime.

- There's no such thing! - Okay!

You won't give up if I tease you.

(Her determination is at its maximum because his teasing.)

(Captain Kim is a great pacemaker.)

She won't give up.

Your pace is 6 minutes and 10 seconds.

(Current pace: 6 minutes and 10 seconds)

Your pace is good. Approximately 6 minutes per kilometer.

(She'll be able to finish a 10km run in 1 hour with her current pace.)

The cutoff is 3 hours and 30 minutes.

- If I try a little more... - It's too bad to give up now.

(Meanwhile)

- How's your state? - I feel pain when I run.

- Does it hurt a lot? - Yes.

- Then... - I'm enduring.

If it hurts too much, don't push yourself too hard.

I think you can stop after finishing this lap.

- If you think you can't continue. - But...

Don't push yourself too hard.

We are having a really important competition in 17 days.

But I saw you swimming...

and cycling.

Your pace is great.

Your rhythm was the best.

So I think you don't need to push yourself too hard now.

The competition after 17 days is more important anyway.

It's okay for today.

The pain comes and goes. I'll try running.

- I'll take it slow. - Okay.

(She's trying her best until she can.)

It was foolish of me to fall.

There wouldn't be any damage if I didn't fall.

(In Ah is regretting it while running.)

(Where is Uie, the current 3rd runner?)

(Although she's been exercising for almost 3 hours, )

(she's running without any signs of exhaustion.)

(At a great speed, )

(she runs and runs...)

(and finishes 1.3km in 6 minutes and 30 seconds.)

(Uie's current pace: 5 minutes)

(Her stamina and pace are like a monster's.)

(Uie the ace is back.)

(As she keeps running, )

(In Ah)

(she sees In Ah, who is in 2nd place.)

(The distance between them is rapidly closing.)

(She finds Uie.)

I didn't tell anyone that I fell.

Coach, take care of Uie.

- You can do it, right? - Yes.

Don't push yourself too hard.

Is your knee in pain?

The place where I fell hurts so much.

- Take it slow. - You finished cycling well.

Okay!

(After checking In Ah's state, )

(she catches up and becomes the 2nd in the race.)

Everyone's awesome.

Your running rhythm is great.

(Her rhythm is steady.)

Do you think you can run another three laps at this pace?

I'll try.

One lap like this is 2.5km. I see.

(She finishes running one lap in no time.)

(Uie passes the 2.5km point.)

Uie has improved so much!

I'm amazed.

(She tries to keep running.)

(But her pain worsens.)

Are you okay?

I fell very hard.

- There's an ambulance. Go there. - Yes.

- Get treated and give up. - Yes.

- I can hear my bones cracking. - That's why.

If you push yourself too hard,

you can't run at the real race.

- Don't push yourself too hard. - Yes.

Thank you.

(In Ah seems to have a lot on her mind.)

This is absurd.

I felt upset because I wasn't tired.

The weather was great to run.

But I couldn't work my hips.

It felt like I was about to get muscle cramps on my hips.

What should I do?

Gosh, what should I do?

(No one predicted...)

(that she would fall twice off her bicycle.)

- Hurry. Get up. - Wait. It hurts so much.

(Even though she was in a lot of pain, )

(In Ah did her best to complete the course.)

(In Ah did her best to complete the course.)

(To stop the injury from getting more serious)

I'm going to the ambulance.

I can't strain my hips.

(In Ah accepts the coaching staff's opinion after all...)

(and decides to give up in the middle.)

(About 27 minutes left until the cutoff)

(Ju Hyun: 3 laps, Uie: 2 laps, Seo Yeon: 1 lap)

(Three members are running to complete the course.)

(Ju Hyun passed the 5km point in 1st place.)

Gosh.

(She looks very tired.)

(She's feeling pain in her pelvis at the later stage of the race.)

(Ju Hyun faces a crisis after finishing swimming and cycling.)

It's all right. It doesn't hurt.

(She comforts herself and tries to stay calm.)

(The 3-hour-long high-intensity exercise makes the pain worse.)

No.

(The 3-hour-long high-intensity exercise makes the pain worse.)

Seriously.

(The 3-hour-long high-intensity exercise makes the pain worse.)

I have one and a half laps left.

I can do this.

(Ju Hyun passes the 6.3km point.)

(About 24 minutes left until the cutoff)

I need to hold out just a bit more.

(Current pace: 6 minutes and 50 seconds)

(At a slower pace than the beginning, )

(Ju Hyun passes the 7.5km point.)

Where's the medical staff?

(Ju Hyun looks for the medical staff urgently.)

I need a pain relief patch.

(Ju Hyun stops with only one lap left.)

(While Ju Hyun stops due to pain)

Is In Ah going to run again?

(While Ju Hyun stops due to pain)

Uie!

(Uie gets close to Ju Hyun.)

You should run.

- It's your last lap, Ju Hyun. - Yes.

- You can do it! - It hurts so much.

(Uie passes the 5km point.)

(Her current pace...)

(is 4 minutes and 56 seconds.)

(An unbelievable speed after swimming and cycling)

- Do you have one lap left? - Yes.

How do you feel? Don't overdo yourself.

Are you okay? Can you do this?

I don't know.

(Her pain looks pretty serious.)

(The pain doesn't go away.)

It's terrible.

(Would she be able to complete the course?)

I'll go run quickly and come back to rest.

(Whining)

I don't want to do this.

(Sobbing)

(Ju Hyun is a hard core who runs even in tears.)

- Again, as we did earlier. - But...

I've been running in that rhythm.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, cha-cha-cha.

(It suits her taste.)

- One, two, three, four. - All right.

- Only one more lap! - Good!

One more lap, and you complete a triathlon today.

(Maximizing her fighting spirit)

This is your last lap. It's a waste if you give up now.

I can do this. Only one more lap.

(About 12 minutes 30 second left until the cutoff)

(Seo Yeon: 2 laps, Uie: 3 laps, Ju Hyun: 4 laps)

(Current location)

(Meanwhile, what's Seo Yeon doing?)

How come they don't come from behind?

- I know. - It's strange.

They can never come from behind when you're running at this pace.

(Seo Yeon hasn't seen other members yet.)

I guess they're running at different points.

In this case, you only need to improve swimming.

(As soon as they talk about other members, )

- Focus on swimming for two weeks. - Okay.

(someone appears behind them.)

(The ace runner, Uie)

(Uie approaches quickly and chases Seo Yeon.)

(Seo Yeon: 2 laps, Uie: 3 laps)

(They're different by 1 lap, which is 2.5km long.)

(Chasing at an amazing speed)

- Let's go. - Hey.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Uie, you're the best.

I have one lap left.

She's amazing.

(She widens the distance even more.)

This is your last lap.

(Uie passes the 7.5km point.)

You're doing great. Make it simple. There you go.

(Uie has one lap left.)

You have 2.5km left now.

(Only 2.5km left)

Good.

You lose time in cycling,

so you need to make up for it in swimming and running.

So, focus more when you're running.

There you go.

(Getting more focused with Coach Heo's advice)

You're doing great.

(You're doing great now!)

If you finish this lap, there's nothing left. It's over.

(Current pace: 5 minutes 11 seconds)

(Maintaining the similar pace throughout the course)

Please.

(Ju Hyun, who's in the lead, )

(is still running while fighting against pain.)

I can do this. I'm almost there.

(Encouraging herself, )

(Ju Hyun passes the 9km point.)

I can do this.

(Only 1km left until completing the race)

It hurts.

(However, )

(her pain gets more severe.)

(Still, Ju Hyun doesn't give up.)

It's all right. It's not a problem with my bones.

(This isn't a pain from bones.)

(She keeps consoling herself.)

I can do this.

(Running toward her only goal, completing the race)

I need to go only a bit further. I'm almost there.

I'm really almost there.

(Only 500m left now)

(Ju Hyun will be the first one to complete the race in Iron Girls.)

(The cutoff time is 3 hours 30 minutes.)

(She needs to complete the race before that!)

(The 1st challenge of the long 51.5km)

(Now she sees the end of that journey!)

(She checks the time while breathing heavily.)

It's been over three hours.

(What's Ju Hyun's record of her first completion?)

I finished it!

(What's Ju Hyun's record of her first completion?)

(Ju Hyun completes a triathlon.)

(Ju Hyun completes a mock triathlon in 3 hours 35 minutes 2 seconds.)

Ju Hyun!

I'm cut off.

(Ju Hyun is cut off as she's 5 minutes late.)

I did my best.

I wanted to finish before the cutoff.

I wanted to finish before that.

But I,

the weakest among us, finished the race first.

It was tough,

but not as tough as I imagined.

Therefore,

I can run faster than today...

and I think I can slice the record.

(I think I can slice the record enough.)

Tongyeong.

(17 days left until the Tongyeong competition)

After the mock competition today,

I gained confidence.

(Ju Hyun gained confidence that she could make it.)

Gosh.

- Good job. - What's this?

(She receives a medal to celebrate her first completion.)

- Is it given by Samcheok? - That's right.

(A real medal of Samcheok Triathlon which was canceled)

- You worked hard. - Can I keep this?

(Success in her first completion of a triathlon!)

It's my first triathlon medal!

(While Ju Hyun is enjoying her completion)

It's really tough.

(While Ju Hyun is enjoying her completion, )

(Uie heads to the last turning point.)

This is the last uphill road.

(Uie heads to the last turning point.)

I see the finish line tower in the distance.

- I see that. - We see that!

You maintain the same posture throughout 10km.

(She's been in the race for over 3 hours.)

It's great.

(Uie's pace: 5 minutes 15 seconds)

You have 500m left.

(She keeps her pace until the end in her first full-course triathlon.)

Now you have 500m left.

(She keeps her pace until the end in her first full-course triathlon.)

(Passing the starting point of running, )

(she enters the last stretch.)

You're almost there. Good.

I see the finish line now.

Okay! You're almost there!

Let's do a high-five. All right. Good job.

Enter with a celebration.

(Sprinting toward the finish line)

Kim Yu Jin!

(The finish line is right before her eyes!)

Kim Yu Jin!

Gosh.

(Uie completes a triathlon.)

(Uie completes a mock triathlon in 3 hours 44 minutes 9 seconds.)

(Uie is cut off, being late by 14 minutes 9 seconds.)

This isn't easy at all.

(Ju Hyun welcomes her with open arms.)

Good job.

This is really...

You're so fast.

After so much gap in cycling.

- This is so... - Uie.

- My goodness. - Thank you.

- Thank you. Is this for me? - Yes.

- Thank you. - You did a good job.

Oh, gosh. I'm sorry.

(Collapsing)

I don't think I can complete the race in three and a half hours.

(Now she can realize the result.)

I'm in big trouble.

I did my best, but I'm behind over ten minutes.

- What's your record? - What?

What's your record of this race?

I didn't complete it in time.

- What's her record? - About 30...

She was cut off?

(Hopeless)

It's 6 minutes and 10 seconds.

Let's go!

Seo Yeon! Have you given up?

No!

- You're coming so late. - I never...

give up!

You were coming so late, so I thought you went home.

- This is the last lap. - Okay.

You can't give up with one lap left.

I don't feel tired at all.

All right.

This is the last lap, so I'm asking just in case. Are you giving up?

(2.5km left)

- No. - No?

The ending is already set.

- Do I have to repeat it? - Okay.

It's late, and the streetlamps are on.

I'm going to run even when it's pitch dark.

Good.

We started running in broad daylight,

and we're still running.

I respect triathletes.

You've been doing this for four hours.

(It's been 4 hours since she started the race.)

(Screaming)

Are you giving up?

I heard something like that.

No.

- It's the sound I'm leaping. - I see. Okay.

All right.

It's 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

- You need to speed up a bit more. - Okay.

My legs, help me.

(Now her legs are not moving as she wants.)

Legs, help me.

What will be the record in total?

(Seo Yeon keeps running without a break.)

You're so good at cycling and running.

You'll be sad if you're cut off due to your swimming.

- Do you agree? - Yes.

- You need to make it. - I need to.

- I mean it. I'll feel sorry too. - I'll make it.

I would feel sorry.

(There's no phrase like "give up" in my scenario.)

I hear athletes run at the pace of over 170km.

You're doing this like a real athlete.

You're like a national athlete.

(Coach Heo is appearing behind Seo Yeon.)

I thought 130 to 140 would be enough,

but it's over 160.

I came to take care of the last participant.

- That's great. - Yes.

There you go. Make your breathing stable.

Shake your arms when going down the downhill road.

Okay.

You have less than a half lap now.

Okay.

(Glancing)

- This is insane. - I'm getting goosebumps.

I'm getting goosebumps!

Min Ho, it's her first regular course.

That's what I'm saying.

First of all, I'm surprised that she swam for an hour.

This is crazy.

Check out my goosebumps.

(He's so moved that he even gets goosebumps.)

This is amazing.

When Coach Heo saw me,

he said he was so happy that he got goosebumps.

"I'm so happy to see you grow."

"This is the first time I felt so." That's what he said.

He looked so happy when he said that.

(A happy look from feeling proud)

When I saw that, I suddenly felt invigorated.

I felt so grateful that they were with me.

Okay!

I was so happy.

(I felt grateful and happy that they were with me.)

(While running like that together)

You're relaxed.

My current pace is 4 minutes and 50 seconds.

You have 600m left!

You're having an adrenaline rush.

- You have a few meters left. - Right.

(A burst of adrenaline)

It feels like an underworld.

Seo Yeon is overcoming that underworld!

- I see the finish line tower. - I see it.

- You're almost there. - You're close.

- We're almost there. - Almost there.

Okay!

You did a good job.

You really did a good job.

- What are you doing? - Step carefully.

What's wrong with you? What's with the spurt?

- You're going too fast! - It's too fast!

I will sprint!

Why are you sprinting all of a sudden?

(Even the coach can't follow her.)

- You're awesome! - This is amazing.

- Seo Yeon! - Jin Seo Yeon!

- You can do it! - Jin Seo Yeon is crazy!

Stop over there.

- Jin Seo Yeon! - Jin Seo Yeon!

- Jin Seo Yeon! - Jin Seo Yeon!

- Jin Seo Yeon! - Jin Seo Yeon!

(She finishes the long journey of 51.5km...)

(and arrives at the finish line at last!)

She sprinted at the end. It's amazing.

(Seo Yeon completes a triathlon.)

(Seo Yeon completes a mock triathlon...)

(in 4 hours 4 minutes 8 seconds.)

It's unbelievable.

(Seo Yeon exceeds the cutoff by 34 minutes and 8 seconds.)

(Her first completion of a triathlon!)

- You completed the swimming course! - Great job.

(They can't believe Seo Yeon finished the course.)

- I feel tired too. - Thank you for your work.

(They feel moved and hug each other.)

- We feel tired too. - Captain!

- We feel tired too. - Captain!

We're tired too.

- We also feel tired. - Coach!

- Coach! - Thank you for your work.

I mean it. You worked so hard. Well done.

To be honest, I was less than 20 percent sure...

that I could complete the race.

When I imagined myself doing a triathlon,

I thought, "How can I complete these three events?"

(She thought it was impossible, but she completed a triathlon.)

Is this possible?

After I came out of the water,

I felt like I couldn't start the next event.

But as I started cycling, I moved forward.

(I can do this!)

After I changed into my running shoes,

I found myself running like I had wings on my feet.

I'm not tired at all!

I felt a burst of adrenaline too.

I was also amazed at myself doing it.

Honestly, my goal today...

was not falling as I cycled for 40km.

(Not falling while cycling for 40km)

It was my first time going there, and I didn't have an accident...

and I rode on without falling down.

To be honest, I gained confidence.

So I felt so excited.

It was my first time completing a 40km course.

Although I completed the course today,

I'm not satisfied with the record.

I want to finish the course in 3 hours and 30 minutes...

and make a nice ending.

First of all, the real competition is 17 days from today.

Running always has been the toughest event for me,

but I trained myself for running...

thinking its purpose was to hold out the tough feeling.

I think I won't be cut off.

First, since I haven't gone through high-intensity running training,

I need to speed up in swimming and cycling.

That's my main objective.

To have enough time to walk for running,

I need to speed up in the two events.

(In Ah tried to shorten her record of swimming and cycling.)

From now on,

I'll focus only on the Tongyeong competition.

The only way is to do my best doing everything I can.

It's for the day that four of us can complete a race.

Since we have 17 days left,

starting tomorrow, I'll do my best in training again.

- Here, Seo Yeon, - What's that?

It's a medal.

(Seo Yeon receives a medal for completion.)

Stand straight here.

- It's a medal of completion. - You'll get a medal. It's amazing!

- It's great. - Good job.

I thought it would be nice if you got a medal of completion.

Thank you for your work.

- You should give it to Captain too. - I want to have it.

- Of course. - It's my first completion.

What? It's also official completion for me.

(Success in leaping toward becoming a triathlete)

- How are you? - I feel good.

(After the mock triathlon in Samcheok)

Let's go, Boktteong.

It feels a bit boring...

- when only two of us run. - That's right.

- Near the Han River, - Yes.

There's a running crew that you can run together.

There they are. Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

It's so awesome.

Hello.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

It's my first time to be in a crew like this.

Our Run Club has created ten courses...

in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.

Today, we'll run together in the Han River course.

All right. We'll do a little warm-up here.

(To run without getting injured)

All right.

(Doing their best in warm-up too)

I feel good.

- Let's go. - We'll start.

- Okay. Let's go! - All right.

(They start running in earnest!)

All right.

We need to send a hand signal. Watch out for an obstacle.

There's an obstacle!

I can't see it as I'm in a line.

You can't see it.

Here comes an uphill.

- An uphill. - An uphill also.

Running on an uphill road, I should lower my upper body...

- and reduce the pace. - That's right.

We're kind of experts.

(We're kind of experts.)

We can do it!

- We can do it! - We can do it!

(So excited)

- We can do it! - We can do it!

I receive energy from people.

- It's fun to run together. - I know.

Ju Hyun, look at the Han River.

It's so beautiful.

What do you think, Seo Yeon? It's quite nice to run in Seoul.

I realize I'm in Seoul.

It's so beautiful.

It feels refreshing.

(With the Han River in beautiful fall at the end)

Thank you for your work!

- Thank you for your work! - Thank you for your work!

I had so much fun.

I enjoyed it!

Thank you for your work.

(The next day)

(15 days left until the Tongyeong competition)

(Seo Yeon trains for open water swimming whenever she has time.)

(Seo Yeon)

(Open water swimming for 1km on October 15)

(Seo Yeon's Training Log: I trained like an elite athlete.)

(Open water swimming for 1.5km on October 17)

(Seo Yeon's Training Log: I have to swim to survive.)

(Seo Yeon's mother is filming her.)

You're doing great!

(She swims even harder with her mother's support.)

Hold on tight.

Right here.

(Uie, the weakest in cycling, with Ju Hyun)

You don't move the handlebar with your hands.

You have to do it with your vision and body.

(She starts her practical training...)

(with what she learned from Coach Heo.)

(She does the zig-zag skillfully too.)

(Our Uie has changed.)

(Smiling)

- Your face looks different now. - Really?

(Ju Hyun's Training Log: I'm witnessing by Uie's side...)

(how much she is improving!)

(I'm so proud of her! I must keep riding by her side!)

(They go riding the next day as well.)

She improved so much.

(Uie's Training Log: I'm riding without Coach Heo...)

(and I must be a bit more confident now.)

(My average speed is around 23 to 25km and I've reached...)

(up to 30km. This might be a sign of hope.)

Pull the handle with your arms. There you go.

(D-12 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

(D-11 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

(D-10 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

(D-9 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

(D-8 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

(D-7 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

Let's look at the screen.

We'll try the Tongyeong course in virtual reality.

The important thing is to know that Tongyeong has many camelbacks.

Shifting gears is really important.

There you go. Use your strength to go up.

(Going up the camelback with her whole body)

The course is insane.

This is insane.

Going uphill again?

- You have to go uphill. - This is tiring.

- It constantly goes uphill. - Right. You'll keep going up.

What kind of course is this?

(Groaning)

(Shouting)

The uphill and downhill course is no joke here.

There are even more in Tongyeong.

You have to think about all of those areas.

How would I possibly think about that?

We're at war.

Our enemies are chasing after us.

(Enemies are chasing from behind.)

We have to have that thought.

I think we have to think that way to avoid the cutoff.

Seriously.

- All right. It's over. - Gosh, I'm so exhausted!

Right. I just finished my workout.

I'm about to take in some protein.

My favorite menu.

(Time to take in some protein after working out)

It's my favorite these days.

It's cut into bite-sized pieces.

That is why it's so convenient to eat.

It already smells broiled.

It's so tender.

(A delicious meal after working out)

The meat isn't dry and it's juicy.

(Uie the ace even takes care of her diet.)

Why do I love chicken breast so much?

(Chicken breast lover Uie has charged herself with protein.)

(Iron Girls have devoted themselves to individual training.)

There are five days left until Tongyeong!

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

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

(It's like they'll be in big trouble if they don't cheer up.)

(Screaming)

Let's go!

(They try their best training themselves until the end.)

(D-4 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

(D-3 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

Breathe.

(D-2 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

Let's do this.

Iron Girls!

(Finally, D-1 until Tongyeong Triathlon)

(The final goal of all triathletes in Korea)

(The 2024 World Triathlon Cup Tongyeong)

(An international competition...)

(of the biggest scale in Korea)

(Top 75 world rankers compete...)

(in the elite competition...)

(and regular participants compete separately...)

(in the two-day competition.)

(The wild Tongyeong sea is crossed...)

(in the swimming course.)

(The worst curves and uphill paths await...)

(in the cycling course.)

(The headwind of the sea must be fought...)

(in the running course.)

(A gathering of the toughest courses in Korea)

(Will Iron Girls be able to complete the course?)

- The weather is amazing. - Right.

- You're right. - It would be great...

if the weather was like this tomorrow.

- Tongyeong! - Hello.

All right, everyone. Finally,

- Tongyeong! - we're here.

- We're in Tongyeong! - Tongyeong!

First of all,

(I'm here!)

isn't the weather...

the best weather to complete the course?

- It's the best! - All you need is...

the training you've gone through along with your skills.

Everything else is prepared including the weather.

(My heart is boiling up for this!)

- Are you all okay? - Uie and In Ah...

were usually the worry dolls.

- Right. - In Ah has gotten a lot calmer now,

- but Uie is very worried. - Right.

She does the swimming course in 25 minutes.

Why does she have to worry?

- What are you worrying about? - But after that,

it takes me two hours with the cycling course.

Uie was really worried about the cycling course.

She came here before the other members...

and went through the course.

- Right. - Right.

(Tongyeong's cycling course is extremely difficult.)

Okay.

(She came two days earlier as she was worried with cycling.)

Good.

(She went through the course with Coach Heo.)

Keep going.

(And yesterday, )

This is like Sammaksa.

(all Iron Girls went through the course.)

Uie is doing so well.

That's excellent. You've found your pace.

(She keeps pedaling while going downhill.)

There you go.

(Her cycling skills are improving quickly.)

Keep this feeling. There you go.

She cycled for around 31km.

With that record, she has made it within two hours.

- Two hours? - Her record in Samcheok...

was 2 hours and 14 minutes.

That's amazing.

What was my record for swimming in Samcheok?

- You got 1 hour and 18 seconds. - I got 1 hour and 18 seconds?

During my final training session, I recorded 50 minutes.

(Surprised)

- Awesome! - For 1.5km.

(You'll be able to make it before the cutoff time.)

That's a big improvement.

- That's amazing! - That's unbelievable.

I first struggled with swimming...

and found my breath later on.

- She felt the same thing. - Right.

I don't take breaks after 15 pairs of strokes now.

- Then how do you do it? - I just keep going.

- You keep going? - Awesome.

(I just keep going.)

(Last October 17)

(Seo Yeon pushes forward without stopping.)

(Seo Yeon: Awesome! I found my breath!)

(I can swim through the waves now.)

(Uie: You did it!)

(Ju Hyun: That's amazing.)

We'll start tomorrow morning.

It's not a matter of setting records.

Depending on different variables...

- Gosh! - Gosh!

Boktteong is here!

I missed Boktteong so much.

My family members are here.

Boktteong came to support Ju Hyun.

Has anyone else come to support the other members?

My family and relatives have all come.

- Really? - Yes.

Really? Who came for you?

So many of them have come.

Five members from my younger sister's family came.

My family and my mother came.

- Really? - Yes.

I'm from Busan, so my mother and father came.

- Really? - Yes.

- My mother and father are coming. - Right.

I'm a worry doll because I'm like my mom.

I've managed to get rid of my worries,

- It's your mom. - but she is so worried...

that it's driving me crazy.

- Your mother? - Yes.

What about you, Uie?

- My family and nephew are coming. - Right.

They all think I can manage to complete the course.

You must feel so much pressure!

That was why I told them not to come, to be honest.

They think it's obvious that she'll make it.

- That's a lot of pressure. - "Our daughter was a swimmer."

- Right. - They have this in mind.

Your older sister was a former swimmer as well.

Yes. That is why my family doesn't say to me, "Good luck!"

They go, "Your form is a bit off."

"Work on your record."

"You have to come in quicker here and work on your start."

- Really? - I wish for them not to come.

- They're so professional. - Right.

I wish for them not to come.

But as they'll all be coming, you all have to do your best.

- Right. - Right.

No injuries. That's the most important part.

- Right. - I will get right back up.

From now on, there are many things we have to prepare.

To compete in the competition, you have to register yourself.

After obtaining the items,

you have to apply the stickers of your numbers...

on your helmets and bikes.

You have to get your bikes inspected and stored in the transition area.

You will then have the official swimming training session.

- That is what we'll do today. - Right.

The day before the competition is as important as the day of.

You have to be fully focused for today's schedule...

and make sure things go smoothly. Okay?

- Yes! - Yes!

Let's go!

- It all begins now. - Right!

- Okay! - Okay!

Stay focused.

(Before the athlete registration...)

- This is scary. - I feel nervous.

I can't believe we're in Tongyeong.

(Everyone is busy getting ready to participate in the competition.)

(Nervousness and excitement coexist the day before.)

- Good luck! - Let's go!

(Along with the triathletes who are busily moving)

- Please fill in the forms. - Hello.

It's 1113.

- Good luck! - Good luck!

Thank you.

(With a scared and excited heart)

- Hello. - Hello.

(They get the bike inspections done as well.)

I'll make sure to complete the course.

Good luck.

(Lastly, they store their bikes at the transition area.)

(As it's the largest competition in Korea, )

(around 1,300 people's equipment...)

(get stored in the massive transition area.)

We will be running here tomorrow?

- Good luck! - Good luck!

- Good luck! - Good luck!

(They enter the transition area with the support of the others.)

How do we hang them up?

Like this.

- Right. - Like this.

(The saddle is hung up on the steel bar.)

Gosh.

(While the other members are inspecting their bikes again...)

And here.

- The angle. - Right.

You get disqualified if you get on here.

You have to run there and get on there.

(Uie goes over the cycling rules one more time.)

- Are you done? - I have to get there.

We're all ready now.

Trust.

(She strokes Trust, her bike.)

We'll have the official swimming training session.

(She tries to comfort her nervous heart.)

- The captain looks nervous too. - I'll see you tomorrow.

Right?

- Let's do well tomorrow. - I'll see you tomorrow.

It's tomorrow.

(What's next on the schedule?)

Will we be training now?

Yes. It's the official swimming training session.

I feel so nervous.

- What is that? - Gosh!

(What is that?)

What is that? This gives us so much strength.

What is all this?

(Iron Girls)

"Let's master cycling completely!"

(Touched)

"Complete the course!"

- Let's put on our wetsuits. - Okay.

(Moving quickly)

You know how to put it on without me having to tell you.

I'm full of confidence when it comes to swimming.

(Iron Girls get changed quickly now.)

Put on your record chips.

There you go. I don't even have to tell you.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

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

(D-1 until the competition, swimming training)

(An important time to check the water temperature...)

(and condition a day before the competition)

(Tongyeong's swimming course)

(First course, start)

(After doing a lap and coming up)

(Second course)

(A course of a total of 1.5km)

We are not allowed to go around the course.

We'll be able to just check the temperature and our condition.

(Warming up course: A short course that is shorter than the main event)

They're all lined up to train themselves.

I feel so nervous.

(It's their first time swimming in a large group.)

Gosh, I'm actually doing the things I saw on YouTube.

Exactly.

Gosh.

Gosh. What do we do?

The place has gone wild. Look. It has begun.

- Gosh! - Why does it feel so different?

(The triathletes dive in without hesitation.)

Do you have to dive in there?

No. It's okay.

(Their nervousness gets bigger.)

Don't be out of confidence, Seo Yeon.

Move inside as much as you can.

- Toward the floating mark? - Yes.

You'll be starting there.

There's no line over there.

You should move inside and go at your own pace.

This is crazy. We'll be competing here.

I feel so nervous. I'm actually doing this?

(It's finally Iron Girls' turn.)

Go slowly.

(It's finally Iron Girls' turn.)

(Unlike Uie who looks relaxed, )

(the others feel nervous to the max.)

What do I do?

Hold on. Look this way.

- We're not doing the actual course. - Right.

- We'll just be going there. - We'll come around there?

- Right. - Okay.

Okay.

Make sure to do well according to your paces.

- Let's go. - Go?

- Go. - Are you okay?

(They get in the water.)

(Uie dives in without hesitation.)

(Ju Hyun follows her from behind.)

(Letting out a shout)

(In Ah gets herself together and starts.)

How do I get in?

(Letting out a shout)

(Seo Yeon gets inside slowly.)

Take it slow.

(Seo Yeon plucks up her courage to start.)

Take it slow.

(In Ah, Ju Hyun)

(Uie)

(Their first group swimming session finally begins.)

(Will they be able to adapt well in between so many people?)

(Uie)

(She paces forward calmly like usual.)

(Uie)

(Stopping)

(Is Uie stopping all of a sudden?)

(Uie)

(She stops...)

(and stops again.)

(Uie has never stopped while swimming before.)

When I got into the practical session,

it felt like there were too many people.

I felt afraid that I would get hit.

If I tried to avoid getting hit,

the people from the side would bump into me.

I forgot the things I practiced with getting physical.

I kept stopping myself from pushing forward.

(The first group swimming session is tough even for Uie the ace.)

(In Ah)

(How are the other members doing?)

(In Ah heads into the crowd.)

(Bumping)

(In Ah gets flustered in the unfamiliar environment.)

(She tries moving again, )

(but she ends up stopping.)

(Dumbfounded)

(Ju Hyun)

(Ju Hyun also heads into the crowd.)

(Bumping)

(Flustered)

(Ju Hyun is also struggling with the group swimming.)

(They have never felt this kind of intensity before.)

(They complete the intense swimming session.)

Gosh, this is crazy.

(Plopping down)

I kept stopping a lot.

- Same here. - I stopped a lot too.

- It's a battlefield. - Right. It's crazy.

A silent battlefield.

(Group swimming is like a silent battlefield.)

(How is Seo Yeon doing in the battlefield?)

(Seo Yeon)

(This situation feels a lot tougher to the weakest swimmer.)

(She keeps stopping as she feels flustered.)

(She is not able to speed up.)

(With this pace tomorrow, )

(she won't be able to make the cut.)

(She must come in faster no matter what.)

(Will Iron Girls all be able to complete the course?)

The competition will start tomorrow.

- We're almost there. - The day has come.

Make sure to take care of yourselves.

- I feel nervous! - You all can do this, right?

I'll see you at four in the morning.

I'll see you tomorrow.

My colleagues, tomorrow is near.

Make sure to have your record chips.

Okay.

(They check their equipment thoroughly.)

- I'll get it ready. - Just in case.

(Iron Girls get full prepared for tomorrow.)

Should I tighten it a bit? Can I do that?

(After packing, they apply the number stickers.)

- How is it? - That was nicely done.

Are you not going to use the massager?

I'll use it next.

- It's 4am no matter what. - Okay.

- Good night. - Good night.

(The night full of nervousness passes by.)

(The day of the competition, 4am)

- Are we leaving at 4:30am? - Yes.

Pack your things.

(The day has come.)

I have my goggles.

I have my lip balm.

I'll put on more sunscreen there.

We don't have time!

- This is yours, Uie. - Thank you.

(Moving in order)

No cold will be able to get me.

- Let's head to the battlefield. - Let's go!

(They head to the battlefield at 4:30am.)

(Breathing out)

(Sighing)

I'm not sure if I got any sleep or not.

- I wasn't able to sleep. - You weren't able to sleep.

There are two hours left until we line up.

This is it. We're here.

The day of battle.

(The transition area opens at 6am.)

We'll start as soon as we go in.

It opens at exactly 6am.

The bikes are to the left? Coming through.

Get your things ready.

This one is mine.

(Coach Heo checks the pressure of the wheels.)

I have to wear these for cycling.

(Iron Girls get their individual items ready.)

Cycling.

(They thoroughly check each item with nervous hearts.)

I'm done.

(All preparations are done!)

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- That was ten minutes. - Let's go.

(The other athletes who have gathered in the dark...)

(get their equipment ready within the given time.)

(The sky that was dark slowly gets brighter.)

(The athletes who are ready head to the course.)

(A total of 1,300 contestants)

(The athletes line up at 7:20am.)

(Iron Girls are ready too.)

(The color of the swimming caps are different...)

(according to the swimming records of the 1,300 athletes.)

(The competition is run in different groups.)

- Good luck. - Let's go!

Let's go!

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

Let's go.

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

(Only the competition is left now.)

Let's go!

I can do this!

I've come this close!

(The gold swimming caps of the leading group start.)

(They are very fast as they are in the leading group.)

(The physical battle is intense.)

(All of these people are about to enter the water.)

They've started!

(The scale of the competition is massive.)

The race has begun.

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

(They continue...)

(to enter the water in order.)

(The course is filled with athletes.)

They're moving quickly. It's our turn soon!

(Uie the ace gets nervous too.)

(Ju Hyun, who usually feels calm, also gets nervous.)

- You can do it, Seo Yeon. - Of course.

(Now, the red swimming caps enter the water.)

Oh, my gosh. It's us!

(We are up next.)

- It'll start right away. - Let's do this.

Let's go in.

- It'll start right away. - Okay.

- Okay. - Go in.

- Let's do this. - Let's do this.

- Go in. - Don't rush.

Let's go right away. Get your watches ready.

It's us now.

(They can't back out now.)

(Iron Girls are at the staring line.)

- Let's do this. - Wait here.

- Let's do this. - Please warm up.

(The time left until they start...)

(is just a few seconds.)

- Start. - Let's go!

(Iron Girls start.)

- Start. - Let's go!

(The final dash of Iron Girls...)

(that will put an end to the journey of 4 months.)

- Go! - Run!

- Go. - Let's go.

- Go! - Run!

(Can all the members of Iron Girls complete the competition?)

(The competition finally starts.)

(Iron Girls start at a fast pace.)

(They pass the group in front of them quickly!)

(But...)

(Iron Girls become flustered at the first real competition.)

(Fierce physical fights...)

(and unexpected situations that keep happening)

(Where is the floating mark?)

(Can they finish the swimming course well?)

(And the extremely difficult course)

(The nightmarish Tongyeong cycling course)

(The uphill road drives them mad.)

(What should I do?)

(What happened to Uie suddenly?)

Hold on.

- It's 1.4km. - I don't think I can do this.

(The members are pushed to their limits...)

(and start to get exhausted.)

(Blood, )

(sweat, )

(and tears)

(The final tale of the warlike challenge)
