'Imagine she said no after that': Ironman finisher collapses with leg cramps while proposing to his girlfriend right after a grueling race

Everyone wants to make their marriage proposal special. One triathlete and Ironman finisher definitely went the extra mile for his marriage proposal – 140 miles to be precise – and it unintentionally backfired, leaving the Internet in a tizzy of debate. This man completed an entire Ironman competition, which consists of a 2.4 mile swim then a 112 mile bike ride followed by a full marathon, while carrying an engagement ring with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend when she greeted him at the finish line. The idea is cute, if you're into that, but the whole plan went south when the athlete got down on one knee to pop the question. His legs seized up in the most insane cramp of all time and he collapsed in a heap at her feet, writhing in pain instead of with happiness. He grimaced and pushed through as trainers helped ease the cramp and he held the ring up towards her from a laying position, grimacing the whole time.

The comment section went off with debate; Some people thought it was adorable that he persevered to propose to her anyways while others considered it self centered of him to make the whole experience all about him. On one hand, he had the audacity to carry along an engagement ring with him on this ridiculous Ironman journey and also had the tenacity to push through the world's worst cramping to propose anyways. But others argued that he made the proposal all about himself and turned the attention to his accomplishments. Was this a romantic moment captured on video? Or is this an epic marriage proposal fail? What do you think?
