We have scheduled three East Coast screenings of the movie 140point6. This is an independent movie produced by Weston Wheeler, a film-producing student and tri-enthusiast who got permission from IM-North America to follow athletes on the race course in Lake Placid to complete this documentary.
A film about a triathletes journey to complete an iron-man distance
140.6 miles, the distance that Ironman Triathletes must complete by swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles, all within 17 hours. This film takes an intimate look at the lives of inspirational achievers, and examines why athletes choose to compete in such a physically demanding event.
This is not about how professional triathletes train.
This film explores how age-group athletes, intrigued by the long-course distance, can be inspired to succeed against the odds. It takes you through the story of 3 first timers as they strive to achieve their goal – first at half-IM Timberman 2005 and then at the IM-Lake Placid 2005.
