| Tim Hardman was one of the best middle-distance runners in America, married to one of the best-looking women in Southern California, and with one of the best futures imaginable...until...he crashed and burned at the Olympic Trials, separated from his wife, and was diagnosed with an early onset of the first stages of Alzheimer's Disease. He lost his career, his marriage, and his short-term memory. What he did not lose was his ambition and his ability to compete.
