In November 1999 a group of world class athletes who had never trained together, much less raced together, formed a team to race in the Southern Traverse - a five day, non-stop multi-sport endurance race. The team experienced the highs and lows of pain and pleasure, however for one athlete it was more testing than for the others as he experienced an extraordinary journey into the world of pain, pleasure, endurance, depression and ultimately, redemption.
