16 years after the amputation of her left leg, Nicole Ver Kuilen challenges herself to complete a 1500 mile triathlon from Seattle to San Diego. For Nicole, the most difficult part of this journey is not the distance – she has the endurance and will to overcome any athletic feat. Her biggest challenge is that her insurance-mandated prosthesis is built only for walking. The further she pushes herself – 100-mile rides, 8,000-foot climbs, and an open water swim under the Golden Gate Bridge – the greater the damage to her prosthesis and, more importantly, her health. As she closes in on the finish line, Nicole questions whether or not pursuing her athletic dreams is worth the cost.
