Cramp Forces Man to Crawl Across Finish Line at New York City Triathlon

You have to admire this guy's determination:

That was an athlete who had already finished the 1,500-meter swim and 40-kilometer bike ride portions of the New York City Triathlon and was just steps away from finishing the 10-kilometer run when a leg cramp caused him so much pain that he just couldn't go anymore.

But when the medics arrived, he refused treatment and started crawling toward the finish line. Not quite as impressive as Claire Markwardt, but still: Very well done, sir.
