"It isn’t popular because it’s easy. It’s hard - ridiculously hard! Winning the Ironman world championship takes talent, dedicated work, and guts – and then mysterious other qualities. Ready for a movie about the quest? Check out an early copy of the trailer.
We're almost done with “What It Takes”, the story of 4 elite triathletes and their quests for glory. This new documentary combines human drama, furious athletic action, and top-quality cinematography to present a rare and entertaining peek behind the scenes of one of the world's fast-growing sports. Shot across 3 continents over a year-long period with a cinematic look and feel (24 frames per second, in widescreen format), it focuses on Peter Reid, Heather Fuhr, Lori Bowden, and Luke Bell, who together have won 6 world championships and 36 Ironman triathlons.
Filming began in November, 2004, and followed the athletes through the 2005 Ironman championships, held in Hawaii last October. Now nearing the end of editing and post-production, “What It Takes” will be available soon through several distribution channels. Follow Peter, Heather, Lori, and Luke as they go through offseason rest and base training, injuries, the ups and downs of competitive racing, interactions with fans and sponsors, the challenges of balancing personal lives against the rigors of training at the elite level, and finally, the psychological tension and physical strain of competing against the world’s best triathletes in a one-day showdown on the lava fields of Hawaii.
