(A perfect season to exercise, fall)

(Riding in Yangpyeong)

(Riding in Jeju)

(After riding in Jeju,)

(they practice...)

(again and again.)

(They've mastered the flatland courses.)

(Until the 2024 World Triathlon Cup Tongyeong,)

(only 48 days are left.)

(What's the next cycling training session?)

(They'll enter the triathlon in Tongyeong.)

(Its cycling course...)

(is an uphill course, as known as Camel's Back.)

(A steep slope continues endlessly.)

(Extremely difficult for veteran participants too)

(So, they go...)

(to today's training spot.)

(A notorious place for being a brutally steep uphill)

(Curbed roads in outrageous angles)

(This is like a miniature of the course in Tongyeong.)

(Uphill mastering training)

(Determined steps before the uphill training)

- Ta-da. - Thank you.

- It's much nicer. - I got sick of the old one.

Ju Hyun gave me this as a gift, so I changed mine.

Yes, Ju Hyun bought it for me.

(Seo Yeon, Uie, Ju Hyun, In Ah)

(Another common item for Iron Girls)

I'm in charge of Iron Girls' fashion.

(Upgrading her fashion)

I...

You're making an entrance with a style.

(Captain Kim and Coach Heo are here.)

It feels refreshing.

It feels refreshing.

I surveyed the course with Captain Kim in advance.

- Already? - Yes.

I've heard of the spot before,

but it's my first time to come here.

I think it's one of the steepest courses in Korea.

It's definitely extreme.

Have you ever heard...

- of Namsan Uphill? - Yes.

Many people are trying,

but this course is about five times more difficult.

(5 times more difficult than Namsan Uphill)

(Namsan uphill road)

(Bugak Skyway uphill road)

(Seoul National University uphill road)

(This place is above all of these.)

(To Sammaksa in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province)

("It's my first time to Sammaksa, and I'm never coming again")

("I will never look down on Anyang again.")

(A sacred place as an uphill road for cycling lovers)

(The toughest uphill road, Sammaksa uphill road)

(The steepest slope is about 20 percent inclined.)

(Minimum altitude 94m)

(Maximum altitude 363m)

(The altitude difference is 269m.)

(The course entirely consists of uphill roads.)

(It literally is a brutal course.)

(One of them even says...)

(she wants to quit.)

(What happened to Iron Girls?)

If you complete this course today,

you won't have a problem in the cycling course in Tongyeong.

The cycling course in Tongyeong is known as Camel's Back.

(The Tongyeong course is famous for its Camel's Back course.)

- It's well-known. - Yes.

Once you go through this course,

- Right. - you won't have a problem.

If you complete this course, the real triathlon competition...

will feel like a downhill course.

I mean it.

Coach Heo should tell you this.

When the road is too steep,

your bike's center of mass is not in place,

and the front wheel might be lifted. It's that steep.

- I'm scared. - Tell them how to ride safely.

As Captain Kim just said,

since the road is very steep...

Come on. It's not that steep.

It's this steep. I mean it.

That's...

- We're not kidding. - not a grade for humans either.

I did this to give you...

a mental breakdown using a visual image.

But the grade can push you back when you slow down.

In that situation, you need...

- Lean forward? - to lean your upper body forward.

- We bend over. - You bend over.

I recommend you to lean your body forward.

You need to use your gear wisely.

You need to remember one thing here.

You should be in your lowest gear.

- Really. - Don't touch anything else.

- From the beginning? - From the beginning.

- Coach, I have a question. - Okay.

How long does it take to get to the top usually?

It's 2.5km from here.

(2.5km to the top)

What? Is that all?

Okay.

As I see, based on Iron Girls' standard,

it would take over 30 minutes.

It would take more time.

It would take over 30 minutes for me.

It's only 2.5km.

- It's 2.5km? - He says the course is terrible.

- Seriously. - It's so steep...

that walking could be faster.

- I feel exhausted already. - It takes at least 30 minutes.

If one of you completes the course...

without a break,

it'd be equivalent...

to an advance club member's record.

I heard this was an uphill road...

that club members challenge.

I suddenly feel nervous.

I'll ride with Uie in the back.

Today, Captain Kim will lead the three of you in the front.

Let's try to complete the course without a stop.

- Yes! - Yes.

I want to see your willpower.

We fall behind to no one in willpower.

Today, you'll exercise with your willpower.

- Iron Girls! - Iron Girls!

- Okay. - You feel quite weak already.

- Iron! - Let's go.

(Can all of them complete the extreme uphill course?)

- Let's go! - Let's go.

Uie, you'll ride in the back with me.

- Okay. - Three of you go in the front.

We can do this.

(Going to the brutal uphill road)

I can do this.

(Ju Hyun takes the lead.)

I can do this.

From the beginning...

(The moment they set off,)

(an uphill road appears.)

(It even starts raining.)

(Ju Hyun enters the uphill course first.)

It should feel easy with this gear, but it doesn't.

Is this an easy section?

I adjusted the gear for that, but it feels tough.

I'm already breathless.

I can see it's crazy over there.

(The uphill sections continue endlessly.)

(The slope is getting even higher.)

I can do this.

I've practiced so much until now.

There's someone.

(Another colleague on the uphill road in front of her)

Sir, may I pass you by?

- Yes. - Thank you.

Sir, why are you riding on this uphill road...

when it feels so tough?

What?

You can do it.

(She ends the interview soon to manage her strength.)

(She focuses on pedaling again.)

(Panting)

(Breathless)

(She breathes harder due to the high slope.)

This is insane.

This is crazy.

(They keep saying it's crazy.)

This is crazy.

(The uphill training is intense.)

Goodness.

(Captain Kim also finds the road too steep.)

All right.

(While the leading group is going smoothly...)

- I can't believe it. - Isn't that slope crazy?

(Uie enters the first uphill section.)

Here I go.

(All right. Let's go.)

I'm going.

Okay. Your posture is so good now.

(Strong-willed)

Lean slightly forward, Bend over your upper body.

Shall we pedal now?

Tighten your stomach. There you go.

(Trying hard)

There you go.

(Uie pedals with all her might.)

There you go. Adjust it. Yes.

You're doing great now.

(Thanks to the hard training so far,)

That's it.

(she rides on the uphill road smoothly.)

(Uie has grown in cycling.)

Tighten your stomach.

Look ahead. See Se Yeon on your front.

There you go.

You're so good at cycling now.

I think you can raise your seat now.

- Now? - Yes.

Okay. There you go.

Am I in my lowest gear now?

- Yes, you are. - Gosh.

You can't change down the gear anymore.

(They have to go up using their own strength.)

There you go. Great.

Great.

There you go. Don't release tension.

Don't release tension, Uie. There you go. Okay.

(Their handlebars wobble a lot.)

(They stop for a moment in the end.)

- Let's go again. - You might not be able to start.

- It's so steep. Wait. - Okay.

I'll push you from the back.

(Coach Heo goes to help Uie.)

Ready, set, go.

(She starts with clenched teeth.)

Go forward. Set your bars straight.

They keep wobbling.

(The steep slope...)

(wobbles the handlebars.)

(Groaning)

(Stopping again)

Seriously?

This isn't easy.

- It isn't. - No.

(They find it hard to ride on the uphill road.)

I'll try again.

(But they start right away.)

(I can do this.)

Okay! You're doing great, Uie.

(Uie shows her grit.)

Great.

(She never gives up.)

(She tries until she makes it!)

(Gasping)

All right. Keep pedaling. Tighten your stomach.

(With powerful pedaling,)

(she moves forward without stopping.)

(Uie)

Good.

Uie is doing so well. Her riding is better than I thought.

(Uie, Seo Yeon)

(The training is coming to fruition.)

Seo Yeon.

(With a dogged spirit,)

(Uie keeps riding.)

(Uie reaches right behind the leading group.)

This is so tough.

(The extreme uphill sections continue.)

(Ju Hyun, the best rider, is still in the lead.)

(Is she riding while standing up?)

How can I ride here without dancing?

(Dancing means pedaling while standing from the seat.)

(It helps you speed up and keep the pace on the uphill road.)

(Going through the uphill section by dancing)

(Panting)

(But she gets breathless.)

Is this the lowest gear?

That's right. I keep looking at it.

It makes me wonder...

if I adjusted my gear right.

- I know. - But it's right.

Is it?

If it's hard, ride in a zig-zag direction.

(Don't stop and ride in a zig-zag direction.)

Gosh, this is insane!

(The uphill section just doesn't end.)

This feels the most difficult in this show.

This is a tough section even for players.

(That's where we are now.)

It's been five minutes.

This is crazy.

(It's been only 5 minutes?)

- Goodness. - You've come one-sixth of it.

My thighs might burst out.

(We've finished only one-sixth of it.)

This is nonsense.

(The reason they're exhausted after 5 minutes...)

(is because the continued slope...)

(doesn't allow them a breathing space.)

(Still, we will...)

(get over this!)

Gosh.

(Breathless)

(Meanwhile, Ju Hyun is still dancing.)

(Panting)

(Out of breath)

(While she's getting out of shape,)

(as she's dancing and wearing cycling shoes,)

(she maintains the front position widening the gap with the members.)

Up to that point, please.

Please. Up to that point.

(But she feels so tired...)

(and is about to stop for a while.)

Wait.

(Screaming)

(Ju Hyun almost fell off the bike.)

Oh, my. That happens.

Be careful, Ju Hyun.

I didn't fall.

(It was very dangerous.)

Then you can't attach cleats again.

(It's hard to attach cleats again on the uphill road.)

Wait.

Hang on a second.

(In the end, Ju Hyun gets off the bicycle...)

(and carries it.)

With the cleats on here, I can't work on pedals.

I was about to fall off, literally.

But I didn't.

Do you need your sneakers?

(Captain Kim brought extra sneakers for her.)

I won't give up until I fall off.

(At this moment, In Ah passes her.)

Oh, I hate this so much.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I have no idea at all.

(In Ah passes Ju Hyun and takes the lead.)

(In Ah, Ju Hyun)

(Once the curved path ends, Iron In Ah speeds up.)

The path is easier now.

I feel much better!

(Now the gentle slope path is nothing to her.)

(In Ah's current location in green)

(In Ah is now almost in the middle of the race.)

How far have we come?

It keeps stopping.

Save me and tell me!

Tell me I'm almost there!

Tell me something positive!

My bike keeps stopping me!

You've come a long way!

(After hearing from the director, Iron In Ah braces her energies.)

You've come a long way!

(You've come far. You can do it!)

(Gasping)

You've come over 1km so far!

(You've come over 1km so far.)

That means I should go the same distance again!

(It's like a bolt from the blue.)

You're doing so well!

Forget it. Don't tell me again that our family name is the same.

Let's go.

Let's go, my cleats!

(Ju Hyun also starts again.)

(Her cleats are equipped well.)

(She speeds up, as she has lost too much time.)

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

As we move again,

if you feel uncomfortable, change your shoes.

- Okay. - By the way, you're doing good.

I can say that cleats are not helpful...

when something unexpected happens.

Nice!

(But cleats are quite helpful when there's an uphill.)

Don't stop and keep moving!

We've come a long way!

Assume it's over the half!

(Thanks to Captain Kim's cheer,)

(Ju Hyun pulls herself together.)

(Now she has no energy to say a word.)

Let's go!

(She starts dancing again and makes a move!)

(She came all the way up...)

(with the powerful pedaling.)

(Hopeless)

(The uphill road is literally endless.)

(Ju Hyun stops again?)

(Ju Hyun stops again?)

The sneakers?

- The sneakers? - You want the sneakers?

(He kept them beforehand for Ju Hyun.)

I took them out here.

(She eventually changes into sneakers from the cycling shoes.)

Even if we sometimes stop, we aim to finish this race, okay?

- Okay. - Good.

(They're determined to finish the course.)

Change up the gear by one.

Okay. One more!

Okay. Good!

(They're focusing on adjusting the gear now.)

- You see the red lines there? - Yes.

From there, you will change down the gear again.

Change it from there. Okay!

(It's hard to change the gears for a beginner.)

Good!

(She successfully changed it.)

When there's a gentle slope,

- it's time to rest your muscles. - Okay.

Focus as of now.

(The curved uphill road...)

It gets harder now.

(greets her once again.)

Squeeze your muscles!

(All tense)

That's it! Okay.

(She's naturally slowing down.)

Nice!

Good!

Remember this pressure. That's it!

(Uie is slowly getting used to the uphill road.)

Okay. Keep going!

Nice!

(After Coach Heo's compliment, she gets better.)

Okay. Keep going!

Okay. Yes, anyone would swear with this.

Nice!

(While Uie is struggling,)

(what's happening to In Ah, who is in the lead?)

What the heck is that?

What kind of place is that?

(The notorious part of the Sammaksa course)

(It's almost 500m long.)

(The longest uphill road in Sammaksa)

(In Ah's current location)

(Altitude has become almost 240m from 192m.)

(Ladies, this course is not a joke.)

(She wants to share this amazing news with others,)

(but there's no one around.)

(Gasping)

(The heavier her breathing gets,)

(the higher the slope becomes.)

This is too much. It's crazy. What place is this?

(She enters the very steep slope.)

I should remember what Seo Yeon said before!

Now,

my mom is kidnapped.

(If she stops now, she'll never see her mom again.)

(While In Ah's imagination gets dramatic,)

(her mentor is busy taking care of herself.)

Let's go!

After this, we will get a rest.

(Her shouting tactic)

Are you ready?

Don't see ahead!

(It's better you don't know. Don't see ahead!)

One step at a time.

(While she was riding, only looking at the ground,)

Please.

(In Ah was already doing the same.)

This is crazy.

(Gosh!)

No, that can't be.

(That's the steepest in the course.)

Should I take some rest? What should I do now?

Wait.

(She's come all the way, not even resting once.)

How can I deal with that?

I need to loosen my muscles.

(She's of two minds now.)

I need to relax.

(Should I take a rest or keep going?)

Darn it.

(She tries to keep moving by dancing.)

Save me. No!

Save me. No!

Why I came here? No!

(She stopped for the first time during the course.)

Gosh, In Ah stopped over there.

(She failed to keep going as she was headed the wrong way.)

(She tries to move again quickly,)

(but her breathing gets heavy.)

I'm now exhausted.

You can take some rest!

(Worn out)

This is so tiring.

I didn't want to stop.

(I didn't want to stop.)

(I'm coming through.)

He's amazing.

(By accident, they've come on the same path together.)

You came all the way without a rest?

- Yes. - Gosh.

- He's amazing. - I've done it 100 times this year.

Sorry? You've done this 100 times this year?

(He takes the lead very smoothly.)

- I'll follow him. - Let's go!

- You heard what he said? - Amazing.

(She's motivated by him.)

(She now has a full desire to win.)

Nice. Now 13 minutes passed.

It's almost the same length as the Namsan Uphill road.

(It's equivalent to the Namsan Uphill road.)

(The battle begins with the master of the uphill.)

Darn it, please.

(She ends up stopping again.)

(Gasping)

(Gasping)

(Out of breath)

(Someone appears with a gasping sound.)

(Shouting)

- It's you, Seo Yeon? Amazing! - Yes.

(It's cool!)

Seo Yeon!

(Seo Yeon, who shocked In Ah,)

(fought tooth and nail for the competition.)

(Through a long time of training,)

(she improved her fitness...)

(and finally got the Iron Stamina.)

(Even if I gasp and shout,)

Let's go!

One, two. Slowly.

(I never stop.)

Nice.

Let's go.

(She even got past Ju Hyun.)

You're doing so well.

(She rushes like a tiger.)

You got this. Let's go!

You're amazing.

I can see how hard you've trained so far.

(She rode all the way at unbelievable speed.)

In Ah, in this grueling course...

It's unbelievable.

(Seo Yeon shows the results of her training through her stamina.)

I should get going too.

(In Ah gets motivated by Seo Yeon and sets off again too.)

I can finally breathe a bit.

(As they caught their breath,)

(their boosters are on.)

This can't be real. It's not done yet?

We're heading north now.

(The highlight course of Sammaksa appears like a joke.)

(The second difficult part of the Sammaksa course:)

(The zigzag course)

(A brutal uphill road...)

(and sudden, sharp curves)

(Altitude: Around 240m)

(Altitude: Around 300m)

(They reach the first curve of the zigzag course.)

(Seo Yeon, In Ah)

Take a big turn.

I can't.

(I can't do sharp curves.)

(In Ah)

(Warning: A steep slope and a sharp curve)

(Will Sports Genius Strong In Ah be able to make it?)

We must make a big turn!

At the asphalt!

I think it'll be slippery.

(She slows down and makes a big turn.)

(She succeeds without stopping.)

You can do it!

You go first.

(A sharp curve is difficult for me.)

Hang in there. Just push through this part.

- Okay. - It's easier here.

(She encourages Seo Yeon until the end.)

(She speeds up as she gets to the flatland after a while.)

(In Ah)

(She arrives at the second sharp curve.)

(She easily turns without stopping.)

(She has excellent stamina and athletic ability.)

A sharp curve.

(Seo Yeon speeds up on a flat ground.)

(Will she be able to make a turn without stopping?)

It's scary!

(She suddenly brakes.)

(A sharp curve is still scary.)

(In Ah is cycling in front.)

How many kilometers are left?

- Just 500m. - Seriously?

(She suddenly smiles.)

(The news that she's almost done activates her happiness.)

Others will feel comfortable cycling here.

I take it back.

Seriously.

(Did she lose her mind?)

This uphill road is absurd.

(It's because there's an uphill road again.)

You can do it. You took many breaks.

You took many breaks.

Let's take a break after this.

Slowly pull. That's right.

Cycle as much as possible to make this training worth it.

Okay!

Good!

(They arrive at the zigzag course, the 2nd difficult part.)

Cycle outwards.

(At the beginning of the sharp curve,)

(Uie stops.)

You need to cycle outwards.

Let's make it until the gentle slope. Focus!

That's it!

There you go!

(She uses the dancing technique.)

(Gaining momentum by dancing)

Your dancing is nice!

Okay!

Wait. My thighs.

(She enters the sharp curved course easily.)

- My thighs. - Are they burning?

(She stops in the end because of her thighs burning.)

- Just now... - Uie, you can walk until here.

Okay.

Look. I'm only fast on a flat ground.

(I'm not strong enough for uphills.)

If you practice this course,

you're all set.

(Don't be discouraged.)

Encourage each other while cycling.

Let's go, Uie. Come here.

- Okay. - Let's go.

- Hurry. - Yes.

Look in front. Focus.

- My calves. - That's it.

(They speed up as they get to the flat surface after a while.)

Oh, my.

It's better if you pedal a bit here.

It's too fast.

Yes. Slowly control it using the brake.

(She joyfully races on her bike.)

(The second sharp curve)

(She makes...)

(a smooth turn.)

(Her biking skills are exceptional, except for her stamina.)

Uie, change your gear in advance.

Okay. One more time!

Now on your right. Look. Take a big turn.

Change your gear once more. Make it the lowest.

(Will Uie succeed in cycling the sharp curved course?)

Change your gear once more. Make it the lowest.

For goodness' sake.

(Groaning)

For goodness' sake.

(She finally stops again.)

I can't.

It's okay. Move to your left.

When I told you to change your gear,

- Yes, was I late? - I wanted it to be the lowest.

But the timing was late.

It won't work when the speed gets slower.

- Yes. - That's why it slants.

Oh, okay.

Ready, go!

(Now that the problem has been identified,)

Look in front and pedal.

(she cycles again energetically.)

(Uie makes it to the 1.5km point.)

(Uie, Ju Hyun)

(Seo Yeon, In Ah)

(Iron In Ah in the lead is...)

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

(Groaning)

(The final challenge is the steep uphill road.)

(She pedals with all her might so she can go without stopping.)

(She finally surrenders to the wicked uphill.)

(Exhausted)

You're almost there.

(Captain's cheer comforts her.)

Cycle outwards.

Outwards.

(Cycle outwards since it's slippery.)

(Captain's cheer resets her mind.)

Are the others following without issues?

Yes, they're coming. Seo Yeon is coming.

- It's so slippery. - We're almost there.

Let's do it.

- All right. - You're amazing.

(She cycles again gathering her strength.)

It's impossible.

Be careful!

Be careful!

Be careful.

(Sighing)

I didn't fall.

- What? - I didn't get hurt.

- Are you okay? - Yes. I'm not hurt.

I was shocked. My goodness.

- My legs suddenly gave out. - Let's take a break.

It's because your legs gave out.

You don't have enough strength to push.

Here.

(Seo Yeon is struggling alone at the back.)

(She stops in the end.)

You can't ride there. You need to walk.

It's amazing.

You made it here because you trained until today.

Ordinary people could never do this.

(While they catch their breaths...)

This is impossible.

Ju Hyun, use your energy.

In front. Concisely.

That's it!

(She's pedaling with all her strength.)

(Screaming)

Use your strength. Concisely.

Good. This is the posture.

Your current posture is good.

That's how you cycle uphills. It's so good!

(Madness)

Good.

You trained a lot.

We have a steep uphill ahead.

(The latter group also enters the final difficult part.)

Okay!

- Okay! - They're coming.

It's time for us to move.

Ride as much as you can.

(Ju Hyun, Uie)

We're almost there!

I can see them in front.

Good. Uie, good!

(Uie, good!)

- Okay! - No, I can't.

I can't. I'm not enough.

Not yet. I can't yet.

I'm too weak.

How much more should I train my thighs?

My thigh muscles developed quite a bit.

Why can't they give me energy?

(Why can't they exert their strength on the uphill?)

- You can do it! - You can do it!

You can do it!

(You can do it, guys!)

No, I'm not enough yet.

- Please kill me. - No.

Please kill me.

- Let's get going. - Let's go.

We need to go.

That's it.

When I take a break, I gain energy. But it doesn't last long.

Maybe around 50m.

We're almost there.

(They're almost there!)

Let's go!

(The remaining distance is only 200m.)

- It's amazing. - It's crazy there.

(The final challenge of the uphill to conclude today's training)

Captain, look at that!

(Giving the last push)

Let's give it our all for the last push. It's the end now.

(Let's go!)

- Lower your upper body. - Yes.

(Successfully passed the last speed bump)

(No more stopping)

Good!

Good! We're almost there.

We're almost there.

Here.

(Seol In Ah successfully conquered the Sammaksa uphill course.)

We're almost there.

It's the end up here.

(In Ah's Sammaksa uphill record: 30 minutes and 15 seconds)

It's amazing.

(Her techniques and strengths are both perfect.)

We're almost there.

(Seo Yeon as well...)

It's the end up here.

(shows an impressive progress.)

We made it.

It's amazing.

(It shows how much she trained every day.)

You made it. Okay!

(Jin Seo Yeon successfully conquered the Sammaksa uphill course.)

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

(Groaning)

(Roaring from her heart)

Seriously.

Accurately.

Legendary.

(She's sick of it.)

Today is the toughest ever.

It's legendary.

Today is the toughest ever.

I might hate cycling the most.

(Dazed from the shocking intensity of the training)

It's legendary.

You can do it. We're almost there.

(The latter group is about to enter the last uphill course.)

My heartbeat is...

It's high, right?

- It's over 160 bpm. - This is what the training is for.

Let's finish until the end.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Let's go.

My goodness.

Go.

(Biting the bullet,)

(they start cycling again!)

My goodness.

(Uie, Ju Hyun)

(Giving the last push)

Give it. Are you already out of energy? Put in some effort!

That's it!

(Her booster is on.)

That's it!

(The last uphill to the top)

Good!

One, two!

Think about the rhythm.

One, two!

(Uie fails to pass the speed bump.)

(Ju Hyun passes the speed bump.)

Okay. Ju Hyun, good. Continue to the top with the rhythm!

(Screaming)

Ju Hyun, good! You're almost there!

- You're almost there. - Okay! You can do it!

You can do it, Park Ju Hyun!

Dancing.

You can do it, Park Ju Hyun!

You're amazing.

- Everyone swears when they arrive. - What's this? For goodness' sake.

- My gosh! - Okay!

(Ju Hyun finishes cycling the uphill road!)

(Ju Hyun's Sammaksa uphill record: 31 minutes and 50 seconds)

This is crazy.

It's crazy.

(Falling on the ground)

Seriously.

(She faints.)

We have 20m left. Can you make it?

Okay, let's go. Focus!

I'll give you a boost.

Look in front and focus!

Look in front and focus!

Until the end! Go!

(I bite the bullet and cycle.)

Try!

- Kim Yu Jin - Try to make it!

(Uie's Sammaksa uphill record: 32 minutes and 22 seconds)

For goodness' sake.

(Uie successfully conquered the Sammaksa uphill course.)

- Okay! - Everyone's swearing.

No.

(She poured all her energy.)

(She's exhausted.)

You did well. Well done.

Well done.

(In Ah is proud of Uie's finish.)

- No. - You'll be all right.

It doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense, but you did it.

- Okay. Nice. High-five. - I don't know.

- No. - High.

Good job. Well done.

Did you not fall off?

Take a break.

(After catching her breath,)

(she slowly starts to feel the reality of completing the race.)

Are you crying?

Are you too tired?

(Seo Yeon sobs.)

Why are you crying?

Why are you crying?

(In the end, they embrace each other and burst into tears.)

- This is really tiring. - Are you crying because of it?

This doesn't make sense.

You're making me cry.

Good. Why are you crying after doing a good job?

Even while going through the tough training,

I felt like there wasn't enough time.

While running, my heart felt like it was shattering.

(In fact, she had felt her limits since the last marathon.)

Can I...

(Can I really do the triathlon?)

Can I really do this?

I don't think so.

I don't think I can.

I finished this because I thought I had to.

But I can't swim.

(Especially the pressure regarding swimming is huge.)

Without swimming, I can't run or cycle.

Even if I just focus on swimming, I'm still not sure if I can make it.

Right now, I'm terrified of going into the sea.

Slowly relax. Okay.

Does it make sense?

(I'm scared.)

During my 15 years of acting,

I've faced challenges like this in every project.

This project is on another level.

I think it's the hardest...

and most challenging project I've ever faced.

(The most challenging project that requires overcoming her trauma.)

Will doing my best and working hard really make a difference?

This kind of uncertainty...

(Anxiety about the results)

can drive you crazy sometimes.

(There are days she feels endlessly small because of that anxiety.)

(Despite that,)

Is that how you came up here?

I thought you were doing great.

(the reason she can muster up her strength again is...)

My Iron Girls.

I wonder how hard it must be for them too.

They are all doing their best...

(She is doing her best to confront her fears and limitations.)

with a sense of responsibility

I have no choice but to make it happen.

(I have no choice but to make it happen.)

Seo Yeon?

(They support each other.)

It's very...

I'm not sure if I can say this to them since I'm younger,

but they're admirable.

(She's proud that they keep going without giving up.)

They're admirable and commendable.

The members are a great support.

The ending of Iron Girls...

will be us four members...

finishing the triathlon...

and saying,

"Thank you. We appreciate your effort."

This is my biggest goal.

(We are becoming more desperate about "Our ending.")

If I can finish the race by trying my best,

I'll give it my all, leaving nothing more to offer.

This is how much I'll try.

I wish to try harder.

(Deciding to fight against the limits until the very end)

I can do it.

Finishing the race. Let's do this!

(Supporting everyone who keeps challenging oneself)

You're all amazing.

We took about 30 minutes to finish 3km.

- Thirty minutes. - Thirty minutes.

(Everyone finished around the 30 minutes mark.)

I saw Uie cycling closely...

for the first time.

Her skills improved enough to raise the saddle.

(Uie has improved a lot.)

If her saddle was raised,

it would've been a lot easier.

- Congratulations, Uie. - Seriously.

You can graduate from me now.

You did very well.

I think I can let you go now.

I worked so hard to stop riding with you, Captain.

- Yes. - I practiced a lot.

- That's why you practiced? - I'll leave.

She did very well. She bit the bullet.

I can definitely tell now.

If cycling uphill is this hard, I know how I need to train.

- Seriously. - Until I shed tears.

(Hard enough to shed tears)

This is a huge milestone.

- For real. This doesn't make sense. - Isn't this literally a mountain?

(Iron Girls achieved a milestone both mentally and physically.)

(They're becoming stronger Iron Girls every day.)

(The next day)

(Current time: 5am)

(It's still early in the morning before the sun has risen.)

(Han River Park)

(This place is filled with cyclists cutting through the dawn breeze...)

(and runners hustling along.)

(Peaceful dawn at Han River)

(The pier is bustling.)

(Suspicious people are gathered.)

(They're moving suspiciously.)

(They're busy preparing something.)

(They're busy preparing something.)

(What kind of training will there be at Han River?)

Iron Girls finally come to Han River.

- Han River is great for training. - Yes.

How do you think it'll go?

At Han River, there's nothing to hold or no one to help you...

when you're tired.

- They'll be pressured. - Yes, it's their first time here.

- They might find it difficult. - Yes.

- It won't be easy. - It won't.

I'm so nervous!

I'm scared already.

Seriously. I'm too nervous. It's driving me crazy.

(What's today's training that makes everyone nervous?)

I didn't know there was a place like this.

It must be a lie.

I'm in big trouble. I didn't imagine this.

- Oh, my. - The Han River I see every day.

It's been two months since we started swimming training.

We're crossing the Han River only after two months.

It's impressive.

- This is unbelievable. - Right.

You're going to swim for 2km.

We're going to the end over there?

(2km? To the end?)

(The center of Seoul, the Han River)

(Spreading over the wide Han River...)

(is a training post in a large size.)

It's 1km one way.

(1km one way)

So it's 2km for a round trip.

(1km one way again)

(It's 2km for a round trip to cross the Han River.)

(Cross the Han River by swimming!)

(Due to the low visibility...)

(and strong currents,)

(it's hard to swim here.)

The Han River is great for swimming training.

Right. It's good for open water training.

(A sacred place for open water swimming)

Today, Uie and In Ah...

will complete the 2km round trip.

(They will challenge a longer distance than the competition.)

It's unbelievable.

- If it's okay with you, In Ah... - Me?

Let's give it a try. I don't know what will happen.

Next, Ju Hyun and Seo Yeon...

will go for one-way, 1km.

(Ju Hyun and Seo Yeon challenge to cross the Han River.)

It's only possible when you've practiced quite a lot.

- It means you've practiced a lot. - Right.

- This is unbelievable. - We can see your efforts.

(One and a half months left until the competition)

(It's time to check the outcome of the last two and a half months.)

(How much have Iron Girls improved?)

- The water is dark. - What?

It's dark. We can't see anything in there, right?

But the sea, where we'll swim in the competition, is dark too.

This will be really helpful.

If you swim only indoors,

you think you're doing pretty good, but if you come to the open waters,

- It's different. - you know it's not enough.

- I want to train harder? - So you get to practice more.

And when you come to open waters, it feels more comfortable.

You get confidence in your training.

Many things would feel different today.

It won't be easy.

The weather is nice,

but the current is strong. I can't tell what it's like.

Min Ho, it would be nice if you could explain them...

about the current and how they should swim in it.

The current is flowing from left to right.

That's how it is in the Han River.

(The water of the Han River flows sidewards.)

(They need to move forward through the current.)

- It flows from left to right. - Yes.

Do you see the pink kayak on your front?

- Yes. - Yes.

You should never swim straight, looking at it only.

- Why not? - If you do that,

you'd be drifting over there.

(They might wander around somewhere pushed by the current.)

Really?

Then do we need to swim thinking we're heading that way?

Considering the flow velocity...

(Target point)

Do you see the L Hotel over there?

- You need to set it as a target... - Really?

and swim.

Are you saying that we need to swim diagonally?

(Confused)

- Really? - That's true.

If you're aiming the 12 o'clock position,

you need to set the 10 o'clock as a target, and then you'll be close.

Yes. You do that and you'll reach your actual target.

(The current will push them away.)

That's quite complex. Do I need to aim that one?

Therefore, you need to swim aiming at something...

farther on the left than your actual target.

The Han River is fresh water. It's not a sea.

So your body won't float easily.

And if you complete today's training successfully,

things will be so easy in Tongyeong.

I can guarantee that to you.

But you really need to focus today.

You only have 47 days left until the Tongyeong competition.

- That's right. - So...

you need to consider this training very important...

- when you do it. Do you understand? - I see.

- Focus. - Okay.

I feel so nervous.

- I feel nervous too. - This isn't easy.

It isn't easy. Going into the Han River...

after two months' preparation isn't something easy to do.

Right.

- I feel nervous too. - You're lying.

I'm serious.

It's because I've only seen the Han River...

and haven't thought about entering it.

Honestly, I have no sense of swimming in it.

I have no idea about how it would feel.

(They have no idea, so it makes them more nervous.)

- Is the water cold? - No, it isn't.

- No? - That makes you more tiring.

(They're nervous about open water swimming in the Han River.)

I've practiced in indoor pools only.

- The distance looks too far. - That's true.

Is it possible for us to get there?

I heard that things usually look closer on the water.

(It looks closer than it really is.)

- That's giving a false hope. - It looks close,

but it actually is far, so it feels unreal.

So you need to keep up with your pace wisely.

- You shouldn't overdo it. - I feel so nervous.

Don't use too much energy in the beginning.

I don't think I should hit too much, right?

- Hit? - I mean kick.

Your mind went blank. Get it together.

As for Seo Yeon,

Coach Heo will be by your side for safety.

- Don't worry. - I have no idea about the current.

What should I do?

Although it's the Han River with the current flowing,

you don't need to worry.

Today, there are a lot of boats around you,

and kayaks are installed on your path,

so you can take a break holding on to them.

(Kayaks are installed on every 100m.)

(The kayak will function as the lane and a floating mark.)

In addition,

we have an emergency rescue team here.

- Right. - So you don't have to worry.

If you feel too tired while you're swimming,

Captain and I can take care of you.

(Coach and Captain will follow them in a boat.)

- Can I swim on my back? - That's okay.

Just aim to complete the course. Don't think about the time limit.

Okay. Anyway,

this is your first open-water swimming in the Han River.

If you succeed today,

you'll be the first actresses in Korea to do that.

- That's amazing. - It's a good title.

Make sure to win that title as the first Korean actresses.

To raise your heartbeat,

- let's do the jumping Jack. - Fifty?

Let's do it fifty times. Go!

- One, two, three. - One.

- One, two, three. - Two.

- One, two, three. - Three.

- I'm going in. - Great.

You look more stable than yesterday.

- It works. - That's it.

(Enough warm-up in the water too)

(But Seo Yeon hesitates to enter the water.)

(Seeing Seo Yeon is scared,)

(Coach Heo enters the water first.)

(Seo Yeon braces herself up to enter the Han River.)

(She tries to breathe while feeling nervous.)

(It's darker in the water than she thought.)

You need to relax.

- Relax? - Relax.

Remember to release.

I'm relaxed.

Can you do it? There you go.

(She relaxes as she is advised and tries again.)

There you go.

(Seo Yeon is getting used to the Han River.)

That's it! You can do it like what you just did.

(Is Seo Yeon be able to cross the Han River safely?)

Relax your body. There you go.

Relax your body. There you go.

(Is Seo Yeon be able to cross the Han River safely?)

- What shall I do? - I think...

Because you get scared,

you're not showing all your swimming skills.

Feeling scared, you get breathless.

- Right. - That's why.

Without that, you can cross the river enough today.

Keep in mind that you need to do it today, no matter what.

If you fail today, you have no time to practice.

(Seo Yeon aims to get confidence to overcome her fear of water.)

You can do it!

- You can do it. - Go for it.

- You can do it. - Go for it, Iron Girls.

(Captain and Coach move to the boat.)

We'll be by your side the whole time.

My heartbeat is raising so high.

My heartbeat is now 146 bpm.

(The training today makes even Uie feel nervous.)

You can do this.

(Can Iron Girls...)

(complete the training?)

(Crossing the Han River)

Okay.

- Ready, go! - They're doing this finally.

(They start.)

- Okay! - Go!

(Uie dives in without hesitation.)

(Ju Hyun dives in boldly too.)

(Hesitating)

(In Ah and Seo Yeon enter a bit later.)

(They brace themselves and enter the Han River.)

(Wearing a safety buoy)

(They brace themselves and enter the Han River.)

(Seo Yeon, In Ah, Ju Hyun, Uie)

Pace yourselves.

(Seo Yeon, In Ah, Ju Hyun, Uie)

She's fast, as expected.

(Uie moves forward fast.)

(She proceeds quickly.)

(She's relaxed enough to look forward.)

(In Ah and Ju Hyun follow.)

(In Ah suddenly stops.)

Look at the pink kayak ahead of you.

You need to keep your eyes forward.

(Taken aback due to the strong current)

(It's not easy to move forward.)

(Moving direction)

Where is she going? That's wrong.

You're moving in the wrong direction! Ju Hyun!

You're moving in the wrong direction! Ju Hyun!

Ju Hyun, this way.

Look at the pink kayak here.

(She needs to go straight along the kayaks.)

(She heads for the kayak again.)

Then she loses her energy.

She loses her energy doing that.

(Ju Hyun and In Ah are adjusting themselves to the Han River.)

(In Ah, Ju Hyun)

(They reach the 100m point.)

(Uie is far ahead.)

(Comfortable)

(She reaches the 200m point quickly.)

(The former swimmer shows a stable pace.)

She's different.

Uie is different.

Uie looks so stable.

(Moving forward in the right direction)

She's over a third of the way already. She's doing great.

(Reaching the 300m point after 5 minutes and 13 seconds)

Uie is going at a similar speed...

with the cameraman who's filming her.

He's a triathlete, right?

I guess so.

(Going as fast as a triathlete with flippers)

She's so fast. She's even faster than him.

She's moving faster than him.

- He's behind her now. - He feels tired.

She's training him.

- He's exercising. - Right.

(A triathlete barely manages to follow her.)

(While Uie is moving forward at a quick pace...)

(In Ah, Ju Hyun)

(In Ah widens the gap further.)

Now In Ah is speeding up.

I guess she's warmed up now. She got the hang of it.

She's in the right direction too.

(In Ah reaches the 200m point after 5 minutes and 32 seconds.)

In Ah definitely got the hang of it.

(Moving forward at a stable pace)

Her swimming form looks nicer than mine.

Her gliding is amazing.

Yes, the way she moves her arms is great.

(Gliding is a pose where you stretch your arms as if you're gliding.)

(It gives driving force with a little strength.)

(A proper pose for long-distance swimming)

In Ah is amazing.

She's really amazing.

She couldn't swim well two months ago.

She swam by instinct and that was all.

I think she has a natural talent.

Right. She's competent in sports.

(Sports Genius is recognized by a national athlete.)

(She reaches the 300m point.)

She's not that far behind Uie.

(Uie and In Ah are only 100m apart.)

It's about a kayak's difference.

In Ah got her pace. That's amazing.

(In Ah adjusted perfectly to the open waters.)

(Moving direction)

(Meanwhile, Ju Hyun has to return as much as she moved.)

She's in the right direction now. She saw the kayaks.

- Okay. - She got her pace back.

You're doing great!

Keep your eyes forward. Okay.

- Great. - You're doing good.

(However)

Water keeps going into my goggles.

- Where? - Your goggles?

I got it.

(This time, she has a problem with her goggles.)

Hold him for a moment.

- Hold on to the buoy. - Is it the water coming in?

Hold on to the buoy.

There you go. Pull the strings to tighten it.

(The fast current and goggles flustered her for a moment,)

(but she overcame both right away.)

Are you done?

You're doing great.

(She starts bravely again.)

You're not that behind. Good.

(Ju Hyun is getting adjusted to swimming in the Han River.)

(Ju Hyun reaches the 200 point after 7 minutes and 8 seconds.)

(Meanwhile, Uie in the lead)

She went over the half.

(Passing 500m)

Uie is amazing.

It's exactly 9 minutes after she started.

(She crossed a half of the Han River in 9 minutes.)

She crossed a half in less than ten minutes?

If you play sports in your high school years,

it lasts for your lifetime.

She's incredible.

Her form is just the same as when she started.

Her kicks show the same pattern.

(Beginning and now)

(Her pose doesn't change when compared to the beginning.)

She's moving in a good direction too.

- She's amazing. - It's flawless.

Her form is neat.

She moves forward smoothly.

It's great. You're at a good pace.

(Uie crosses the wide Han River freely.)

(While the three of them are moving forward smoothly,)

(where's Seo Yeon?)

(Seo Yeon is staying still holding onto a buoy?)

(For Seo Yeon, who has a fear of water, the current feels scary.)

(The distance is overwhelming too.)

Big stroke.

(She strokes her arms as she's been training,)

(but she keeps stopping...)

(because of the fear of water.)

- Seo Yeon now... - She's being swept away.

is repeating swimming and stopping.

- It's repeated. - Still...

She's a bit drifting.

She's being carried away by the current.

(Moving direction)

(Seo Yeon is far distant from the right direction.)

If you stop too often, you keep drifting away.

You're carried away when you hold on to the buoy.

(The more she stops, the farther she's carried away.)

Seo Yeon!

If you're stopped holding on to the buoy,

you can't help drifting away.

You can overcome the current only by swimming.

(She tries again with the help of Coach Heo.)

Goodness, it's hard for her.

(Seo Yeon is already obsessed with fear.)

Honestly, if she keeps swimming,

she can overcome this current.

But as she keeps stopping holding onto a buoy,

she naturally gets carried away.

You feel breathless and your breathing isn't stable.

(Is Seo Yeon able to continue this challenge?)

(While Seo Yeon is struggling...)

(Ju Hyun passes 350m.)

(In Ah passes 450m.)

(They move forward smoothly.)

You went over the half!

(In Ah passes the 500m point after 12 minutes and 29 seconds.)

- Great! - She's amazing.

In Ah went this far. This is unbelievable.

She practiced so hard.

(She crosses the half of the Han River without stopping.)

She has a calm nature.

She's also calm when she does sports.

(In Ah is keeping her pace in a calm manner.)

(Meanwhile, Ju Hyun...)

(keeps her eyes forward.)

She can take her course while looking forward.

(Completely adjusted to the open waters)

(She maintains stable breathing too.)

Great!

Ju Hyun really...

I definitely remember the first day of training.

I wonder how hard she practiced.

Don't you feel proud as their captain?

- They're doing so well. - Seriously.

They're really amazing.

(Captain Kim is so pleased to see Iron Girls' growth.)

It shows they worked hard. No one else can help them.

(Ju Hyun passes 500m, and In Ah passes 600m.)

(The current location of Iron Girls)

(One person is on the brink of crossing the Han River.)

(Go! Uie the Mermaid!)

(Passing 800m)

(She moves forward to the 1km point.)

(She makes sure to keep her eyes forward...)

(and moves fast in the accurate direction.)

(This is the standard of swimming.)

(Uie crosses the Han River.)

(Uie reached the 1km point after 16 minutes and 47 seconds.)

(She lightly touches the halfway point...)

(and starts right away.)

(She starts immediately, without catching her breath.)

(Uie swims back at an incredible speed.)

(The ace doesn't look exhausted even after swimming 1km.)

(She passes 1,100m right away.)

(In Ah)

(Meanwhile, In Ah in the 2nd place...)

(passes the 800m point.)

(Uie the Mermaid is coming back, and Mermaid Seol is still going.)

(In Ah 820m, Uie 1,160m)

(Two mermaids passing by each other in the opposite direction)

- She's coming back. - Is she?

(They see Uie coming back.)

Is she coming back? That's amazing.

- How long has it been? - It's been exactly 20 minutes.

Twenty minutes have passed!

(Uie passes 1,200m after 20 minutes.)

(Uie's current pace is 1 minute and 16 seconds per 100m.)

(Her speed gained momentum.)

(Ju Hyun, Uie)

(Uie passes by Ju Hyun too.)

(Uie 1,300m, Ju Hyun 700m)

(They're 600m distant.)

(Uie, Seo Yeon)

(She also passes by Seo Yeon who's far apart.)

(Passing 1,500m)

(Uie reaches the 1.5km point after 26 minutes and 4 seconds.)

(She completes one event in just 26 minutes.)

(Meanwhile, In Ah...)

(passes the 900m point.)

(Where's the halfway point?)

Do you see it to your left?

- Where? - You have to get to the flag.

(She finds her goal and moves again.)

(Halfway point)

(In Ah heads to the 1km point.)

I'm just so fascinated.

(The captain is being fascinated for the 500th time.)

She didn't take a break...

and crossed the Han River.

She has only learned how to swim for around two months,

but her swimming is flawless.

Her movement is great.

(In Ah reaches the 1km point after 23 minutes and 36 seconds.)

Nice!

(After the Jeju session's 900m, she set a new open water record.)

How's your condition? Can you go right away?

You can take a break before you go.

I can breathe because of the mic.

The mic?

If you did 1,500m at this pace...

It would've been around 40 minutes.

- No. It would've been 30 minutes. - No. It would've been 30 minutes.

- It would've been really fast. - Really?

That would've been 1km in 24 minutes.

It's just 500m more to that.

That's an amazing pace.

You also didn't stop in between.

I didn't feel tired.

- You didn't feel tired? - No.

(Surprised)

Nice.

Coach Heo said your form was great too.

Your form was great. It was flawless.

- It was better than mine. - I have no time.

Okay.

(She gets back in without wasting time.)

She's like an athlete.

She's like an athlete. She thinks just like an athlete!

(She checks her record and moves just like an athlete.)

- She doesn't feel tired. - It really is surprising.

She doesn't feel tired. How hard has she trained?

This is just...

- her hard work showing. - Right.

(In Ah's remark was moving.)

As of now,

we've secured two that will complete the race.

We really have.

I'm sure two of them will complete the race.

That's insane.

(While In Ah has departed from the halfway point...)

But Ju Hyun isn't that far behind.

(Ju Hyun is reaching the 900m point too.)

Ju Hyun is amazing.

She's going without stopping.

(Ju Hyun passes 900m after 27 minutes and 36 seconds.)

This is what's more amazing about Ju Hyun.

It's harder for her with her form,

but she's holding out with her mentality.

(Deeply moved)

(Ju Hyun carries on with her dogged spirit.)

(Coach Heo sets out to meet Ju Hyun.)

This way.

(Ju Hyun finally completes her goal of 1km.)

Good. You did amazing. It took you exactly 30 minutes.

How do you feel? I'll bring you up first.

(She escapes from the Han River with Coach Heo's help.)

Great.

Why does the water keep coming into my goggles?

I couldn't see a thing.

(She crosses the Han River after 2 months of learning how to swim.)

Great.

- What are you going to do? - I'm going right away!

You're going to go back? She's going back.

(Ju Hyun makes a challenge to do all 2km.)

She's going back?

This is amazing.

(What is going on?)

Awesome. It took you 30 minutes to get here.

I think I caught my breath.

(Ju Hyun always suffered...)

(with her breathing because of the wetsuit.)

I don't think the size is the issue.

I feel like it's...

(It's a psychological issue based on the discomfort.)

(I will always keep the wetsuit on.)

(Ju Hyun's wetsuit adjustment carried on.)

(The result of her hard work!)

(She is perfectly used to the wetsuit now.)

(Ju Hyun's huge development)

(I think I caught my breath.)

Let's go for the full course.

- Great. - You're going for it?

Awesome!

(An amazing dive)

Amazing.

(Ju Hyun departs to challenge her limit.)

She's truly amazing.

(She heads back to the starting point.)

(While Ju Hyun is heading toward her new goal...)

(Screaming)

She came this far. You came a long way!

(The source of the screaming)

(Seo Yeon is still struggling.)

(She was pushed down quite a lot by the current.)

(She has to go around a long way.)

(No matter how tough it is,)

(there's no giving up.)

(Even though she's repeating moving and stopping,)

(she is steadily making progress.)

(After going around a long way...)

(Seo Yeon)

(Seo Yeon finally returns to the original course!)

(She is finally right next to the kayak.)

You're almost there!

You came a long way!

(She's doing her best to push forward.)

(Despite many difficulties,)

(Seo Yeon is battling her way across the Han River.)

(Meanwhile, Uie is pacing forward.)

(What's left for Uie...)

(is just 200m.)

Uie will arrive soon.

In around 2 to 3 minutes.

She's amazing. Gosh.

(From her form to breathing)

There's nothing to comment...

- about her. - Right.

(She's just perfect.)

(She keeps her pace until the end.)

(It's finally the last 100m.)

(She stays focused until the end...)

(and targets the finish line accurately.)

(Not even 50m is left now.)

(She never imagined swimming across the Han River.)

(Crossing the vast Han River...)

(is about to come true.)

(The round trip across the Han River)

(Uie completes the course.)

(What is the record of the ace?)

(Uie's round trip record across the Han River:)

(33 minutes and 22 seconds)

(She completed this long course in 33 minutes.)

(Panting)

(Panting)

(She gets out of the water with heavy breaths.)

Gosh.

(Staggering)

Gosh, this is...

It's definitely different.

It's completely different.

It's really hard to look forward.

It's really hard.

(She says it was exhausting.)

It felt good when I checked the time when I was at 1,500m.

I reached the 1,500m point in 26 minutes.

(She was relaxed enough to check her record in the water.)

"That's great!" I swam with that in mind.

(Unlike her distinct swimming cap and goggle marks,)

(Uie feels relaxed without looking exhausted.)

I made it in 33 minutes.

(Uie completed the course with a good record.)

Let's move with your feet. You can't rest your feet.

(Seo Yeon still has a long way to go.)

(She is exhausted as she went around too much.)

Keep moving yourself slowly.

After around six kicks,

I keep stopping myself thinking...

that it doesn't make sense to go even further.

"What? Why I can go further?"

"What? Hold on." I keep stopping like this.

(She can't trust herself out of the fear of water.)

I had to trust myself,

but I had a great fear of water and it has been only two months.

I thought, "I can keep going like this?"

"What is going on? This makes no sense!"

I kept stopping with those thoughts.

The coach said,

"Your breathing seems fine, but why are you stopping?"

I went, "It feels weird."

(It feels weird to see myself swimming.)

(Distrust of herself brought a greater fear.)

You came more than halfway! It'll be a waste to give up now!

(Seo Yeon)

It'll be a waste to give up now!

You came more than halfway!

Who's giving up?

- Okay! - Okay! That's it!

Who's giving up?

(This is it.)

- I'll move again! - Okay.

Keep using your feet.

(After showing her determination with a shout,)

(she starts swimming again.)

- You're almost there. - You're almost there!

(Even though she's scared...)

Just like I did the first time,

I have to trust myself.

(She's around the 800m point.)

(Seo Yeon pushes forward slowly after getting herself together.)

There she goes.

(She could be seen from the halfway point!)

It's amazing for her just to be doing this.

(She still stops out of fear.)

(Screaming)

You're almost there.

You're done once you get there. You're done for today.

You'll arrive in no time just like that.

- I never said I would quit! - Okay!

- Great! - Okay!

(Spite charged by 200 percent)

I will go until the end!

Okay.

(Seo Yeon has crossed a miraculous distance of 800m.)

- She has around 150m left. - Right.

It's amazing that she came this far.

(She's about to swim across the Han River.)

You're amazing! You're the best.

You've made it all the way.

(Last spurt)

Putting her age aside, her swimming skills...

are of a child. Think that a child made it this far.

Even though we were here for her,

(She crossed the Han River with her iron will.)

she was really brave.

(She was really brave!)

(Screaming)

(These are now the screams of her dogged spirit.)

You look relaxed!

(She has 100m left.)

She did all 1km.

- You're almost there. - She swam 1km on her own.

(The last breather before the final spurt)

Let's do this!

(Let's do this, Jin Seo Yeon!)

- She did it on her own. - Right.

(She's so close now.)

(She didn't give up until the end.)

(The last Han River crosser of the Iron Girls)

Okay!

(Seo Yeon completes crossing the 1km Han River course.)

- Awesome! - You've made it!

Nice!

- We'll bring you up. - I'll take this arm.

One, two, three.

Okay! Stay on your back. Take your goggles off.

- I'll give you some water. - You were amazing.

You must be exhausted.

(Waking her up with cold water)

Awesome. That was amazing!

- This is a glorious moment. - You crossed the Han River!

You crossed 1km in 43 minutes.

You crossed 1km in 43 minutes.

Nice!

(The captain is all smiles as he feels proud.)

The record today is not what's important.

- Right. - I'm truly amazed...

that you were able to make it all the way.

- It's a glorious moment. - I can do this.

It'll be a shame to give up here. You can work on it a bit more.

It would've been more exhausting at the Han River.

During the competition, there will be a line.

You won't float away if you hold onto the line.

But you floated away with this today.

- You swam more than 1km. - Right.

- It might've been around 1.4km. - It might've been around 1.4km.

If that's the case,

you can make it within the cutoff time.

And from now on,

you should swim for 3km a day.

(An order of swimming 3km a day)

I'm serious.

- He's right. - Right.

If you swim 3km a day, this will be easy for you.

You can surely make it in 47 days,

with this distance and record.

Okay.

(She has enough time to make it happen.)

- I can do it. - Great.

(There is hope for completing the course.)

(In Ah)

(In Ah is pacing forward toward the 1.5km point.)

(If she completes 1.5km,)

(she's done with swimming in the triathlon!)

(In this vast Han River,)

(going across once...)

(and coming back halfway is 1.5km.)

(In Ah has improved drastically in two months.)

(With In Ah's smooth swimming,)

(she is moving quickly in the murkiest water.)

(In Ah passes the 1.5km point.)

Done.

Isn't this In Ah's first time swimming 1.5km?

(In Ah reaches the 1.5km point after 36 minutes and 23 seconds.)

She did 800m in Jeju, right?

(It's 50 minutes faster than the cutoff time.)

Great job!

(It's 50 minutes faster than the cutoff time.)

(However...)

(The current has become a lot stronger.)

(She's moving up and down quite a lot.)

(In Ah starts getting pushed back due to the strong currents.)

(She's swimming at the same pace,)

(but she can't seem to move forward.)

(Mermaid Seol gets flustered.)

(She keeps getting off course due to the strong current.)

In Ah is heading that way, is she?

That's what happens.

From the kayak you see,

you fall away from it in no time.

(After looking forward...)

(Targeted kayak)

(If you swim toward the targeted area,)

(In Ah)

(you seem to be heading toward it well at first.)

(The direction she has to head toward)

(In Ah keeps getting pushed to the side.)

She's getting further away.

(In Ah keeps getting pushed to the side.)

(She notices that something is off.)

Look. In Ah got flustered.

(She keeps looking up after feeling flustered.)

(She tries to carry on.)

(Looking forward)

(Looking forward again)

(Looking forward again)

(She keeps looking forward as she feels anxious.)

(In the end,)

(she sets her direction toward the kayak.)

(She moves her arms with even more strength.)

(Bursting forward)

(She strangely keeps falling away from the kayak.)

(Uie starts waving her hands while watching her.)

You have to come this way, In Ah.

(Uie starts waving her hands while watching her.)

You're almost there, In Ah!

(It's this way, In Ah!)

(I will only go toward Uie now.)

(In Ah swims even harder.)

(Around 100m is left.)

(In Ah's last spurt with no giving up)

Look. She's coming this way well after seeing my signal.

(After seeing Uie's signal,)

(In Ah paces forward.)

(She moves forward without hesitation.)

(She becomes Mermaid Seol again.)

(It has been two and a half months since she started learning to swim.)

(Iron In Ah goes across and back from the Han River.)

(I'm proud of you, In Ah.)

(Where are you going, In Ah?)

This way!

It's this way, In Ah!

There you go.

(She makes a quick turn of direction.)

(It was a long challenge.)

(In Ah finally completes the 2km course.)

(She used her tenacity and mental strength.)

(In Ah's round trip record across the Han River:)

(47 minutes and 38 seconds)

(In Ah breathes heavily.)

- If you didn't wave for me... - It was confusing, wasn't it?

- Wasn't it really confusing? - I'm dying.

- Save me. - I will save you.

One, two, three.

(They manage to save In Ah with the help of Uie and a staff member.)

Hold your breath.

(Washing her face with cold water)

How do you feel? Are you okay?

Block your nose.

This felt so refreshing for me.

(She needs some time to recover.)

- You're the best. - You didn't even take an hour.

- Me? - Yes.

How long did it take you? Around 40, 50, or 30 minutes?

Me? It took me 33 minutes.

(That's an awesome record.)

- It must've been a long wait. - No. It didn't take you that long.

(I'm dying.)

In Ah, want to know something that will give you the chills?

We have to be on our bikes after doing this.

- Doesn't that give you the chills? - We have no time for this.

Definitely.

(The intensity brings out forced laughter.)

- I'm so exhausted! I miss my mom. - I know.

I didn't look for my mom while being in this show. Am I wrong?

- Ju Hyun has around 300m left. - Really?

She's coming?

(Our Ju Hyun is doing all 2km?)

(Ju Hyun confidently shouted out her challenge to swim back.)

(She goes past the 1,300m point.)

(She goes past the 1,400m point.)

(She may look slow,)

(but she's consistently progressing forward.)

(She's getting closer to the 1.5km point.)

You're amazing, Ju Hyun!

Ju Hyun is amazing. She keeps going without stopping.

She kept training like that.

- Right. - She trained for 2 to 3 hours.

- I heard she did 3km recently. - Right.

Right. She did 3km.

(During the open water session in Jeju,)

(Ju Hyun recorded 300m in 8 minutes and 7 seconds.)

I didn't stop swimming.

(She started training herself hard after sensing her weakness.)

(August 21, open water session of 150 minutes)

(Ju Hyun's training log: The day I got the hang of it)

(She started supplementary lessons with Coach Heo.)

(August 24, 1,500m)

(Thrilling moment of swimming at 30 minutes with a 2-minute pace)

(She swims for the longest time after two days.)

(August 25, 1,350m)

(The 2nd day I swam for 30 minutes without a stop. It felt tougher.)

(August 27, 1,000m)

(August 28, 2,500m)

(As she swam almost every day,)

(now she's on the level of swimming over 2km.)

(Her thoughts on achieving 2,500m for the first time)

(I swam 2.5km in total. I have a craving for ramyeon.)

(712m in open waters on August 29)

(The day the current hit me hard)

(804m in open waters on August 30)

(Ju Hyun gets crazier about swimming.)

(I can see why Dong Hyun's lips are chapped. My lips are all chapped.)

(A weeping sore due to allergy. I should be kept away from water.)

(She swims despite the oozing sore.)

I'm having a lot of happy experiences thanks to Iron Girls.

I appreciate that and I'll do my best.

(Ju Hyun enjoys training with her unique positive energy.)

(Swimming 50 minutes on September 3)

(Swimming 40 minutes on September 4)

(Swimming 40 minutes on September 5)

(2,000m on September 6)

(Wanted to swim in the sea, but swam in a pool due to the current)

(She practices so much as if the only thing she does is swim.)

(And...)

(3 days before crossing the Han River, September 7)

(She swam 3km.)

(For 17 days after training in Jeju Island,)

(August 21 to 31)

(September 1 to 9)

(She put a painstaking effort in training.)

She can do this as she practiced 3km of swimming.

(Her training so far is paying off at this moment.)

(Slow and steady,)

(Ju Hyun passes 1.5km.)

(Ju Hyun passes 1.5km after 44 minutes and 49 seconds.)

(However,)

(she's moving in a slightly different direction.)

(To Cheongdamdaegyo Bridge)

(To the finish line)

(She's crossing the Han River in the wrong direction.)

(The team coach comes in a hurry.)

(She drinks water as she gets surprised.)

(The team coach gives her a buoy.)

You need to take a break.

(It seems like she definitely drank water.)

Just now,

the timing wasn't right.

The current is strong near the bridge.

(Ju Hyun couldn't avoid the current in the Han River.)

(Ju Hyun went far away.)

(She needs to go back quite a distance.)

I'm going back.

You can do it!

(Ju Hyun with a dogged spirit is going.)

(She has a long way to go since she's carried away quite far.)

(300m left)

(However, she doesn't get tired!)

(Although she has to go around the long way,)

(it doesn't matter to her as long as she can complete it.)

- It's been 56 minutes. - She's been swimming for an hour.

But she has an amazing pace.

She made a turn after 30 minutes...

- Is she going faster? - and she keeps an even speed.

She breathes on both sides.

- What? - She breathes on both sides.

That's amazing.

(Now, she's doing it again.)

(Breathing on the right side)

Breathing on both sides like this...

was used by Park Tae Hwan.

(It's called Park Tae Hwan's breathing.)

(Breathing on the left side)

(Breathing on the right side this time)

Hey.

(Pleased)

I can't believe it. Ju Hyun is amazing.

She's been swimming for an hour without a break.

(She has 150m left to go.)

Let's wave our hands at her.

She can see us if we wave our hands.

- No! - No!

(Here. This way!)

(She sees Uie and In Ah.)

This way.

She's incredible.

You're incredible!

(80m left)

I mean it.

Ju Hyun, here! You can do it!

Ju Hyun is really amazing.

Yes, keep that speed.

You're almost here!

(She put so much effort when no one was watching.)

- Ju Hyun, this way! - Here!

Keep your eyes forward.

(Everyone is cheering for Ju Hyun sincerely.)

- Has it been a month and a half? - It's been two months.

What kind of training have you gone through, Ju Hyun?

(Captain is most touched.)

Ju Hyun, go for it!

Goodness.

Ju Hyun, this way.

(She uses all her energy to reach...)

(to the finish line where members are waiting.)

Good job.

(A valuable result of hard work)

Okay!

Let me lift you.

- It's so crowded. - Put your back here.

Give me your hands. In 1, 2, 3.

(Captain rescues her right away.)

Lie down. Get some rest.

Here's water.

She's happy. You feel proud, right?

- It's amazing. - Take off your goggles.

- This is fun. - This is fun?

Ju Hyun, take off your goggles.

Take off your goggles and the cap.

But this is...

She has an amazing dogged spirit.

Sit down. You'll collapse if you stand up now.

- Let me sprinkle more water. - It's cold.

- Here. - It feels cold.

Here.

(Strong in crossing the river, but weak for cold water)

You're amazing.

(Feeling proud as he looks at her)

You're amazing.

You swam for 2km?

Seriously, 2km?

(Feeling proud too)

You know,

- Coach Heo, - Yes.

isn't breathing on both sides usually what pro swimmers do?

Actually, pro swimmers breathe on both sides.

Well, regarding breathing on both sides,

I'm allergic to sunlight.

And it was fine while I was going,

- but it was painful on my way back. - It's painful.

- So I breathed on the other side. - Did you breathe on the other side?

Like this.

(Was it a means to avoid the sun?)

You're amazing.

This shows how much she trained...

when no one was watching.

It's amazing, right?

You practiced 3km per day.

It's really amazing.

(The final records of the Han River crossing)

(Uie: 33 minutes 22 seconds, In Ah: 47 minutes 38 seconds,)

(Ju Hyun: 59 minutes 49 seconds, Seo Yeon: 43 minutes 57 seconds)

It's so amazing.

- I can't believe this. - Thank you so much for your work.

(Iron Girls conquered the Han River today.)

- Iron Girls! - Iron Girls!

(Getting closer to a triathlon)

- You're great. - Let's go.

(35 days left till the triathlon)

It's 280 and 260.

(Preparing for the real competition)

Since you need to get prepared...

(Training for muscle switch)

(It's killing her.)

(No one can help you this time.)

(From now on,)

(they need to pump up everything.)

I mean...

(I'd rather enter a competition.)

(Let's have a mock competition.)

(Swimming)

(1.5km)

(Cycling)

(40km)

(Running)

(10km)

(They challenge...)

(the first full course.)

(In real open water swimming,)

(she panics.)

(There's no breathing space.)

(Next event)

(How come 20km feels so far?)

(They experience the 40km-riding for the first time.)

(On an extreme uphill road)

(I feel scared.)

(They fall...)

(and fall again.)

(An emergency saying she quits?)

(It's their first full triathlon course.)

(The members are having an overload.)

Wait. What if I get cut off going like this?

(Time pressures Iron Girls too.)

Do you want to give up?

(Can they complete the course safely?)
