Definitely invokes the remembrances of the passages:
[Proverbs 18:14 The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear it if the spirit is crushed?
Matthew 26:41 Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!"]
...and amazing feats of human strength and endurance. Here these athletes clearly had wills that surpassed, at times, the strength of their bodies. Amazing. Harriett Anderson is awesome, the 72 year old woman that completed her 17th Ironman (beautiful woman), and, of course, Chrissy Wellington a very inspirational lady.
