De la primigenia escoria que brotara de la fragua del rock duro británico, surgiría en el oeste de la Inglaterra proletaria este entrañable y disparatado disturbio sonoro comandado por el guitarrista (aquí autobiografiado) que aunó a un díscolo hatajo de tunantes dispuestos a subvertir lo que la todopoderosa industria discográfica ordenaba y disponía. El sonido sin parangón de Iommi traía causa de una lesión que sufrió en los dedos de su diestra mientras trabajaba —ironías del destino— en una fábrica de chapa metálica.

The 1989 Ironman World Championship was the greatest race ever in endurance sports. In a spectacular duel that became known as the Iron War, the world's two strongest athletes raced side by side at world-record pace for a grueling 139 miles. Driven by one of the fiercest rivalries in triathlon, Dave Scott and Mark Allen raced shoulder to shoulder through Ironman’s 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race, and 26.2-mile marathon. After 8 punishing hours, both men would demolish the previous record - and cross the finish line a mere 58 seconds apart.

Why do people race in Ironmans? Only a person whose good sense was severely impaired would decide to do a race marked by such agony and suffering - a race that makes no sense to normal people. Russell Newell would find out when he signed up for the second oldest Ironman in the country: Lake Placid, in the idyllic Upstate New York village nestled in the Adirondacks. Russell would then question his sanity and test his resolve as he attempted to finish the 2018 Ironman Lake Placid...despite almost drowning, crashing on his bike, and more.
