What it Takes DVD

What It Takes is a documentary starring four elite Ironman Triathletes – Peter Reid, Heather Fuhr, Lori Bowden, and Luke Bell – who together have won 6 world championships and dozens of major races. Viewers go behind the scenes in the quest for the 2005 world championship in Kona, Hawaii. Running at 97 minutes long, What it Takes includes footage of triathlon training, triathlon racing, and resting, and also opening up in extensive interviews to share their thoughts and feelings. The audience learns much about the sport of triathlon and the duel for athletic supremacy, but also about the very human issues which confront four athletes in an up-and-down, unpredictable year.
What It Takes the movie was shot at 24 frames per second on a Panasonic SDX-900, and is presented in 16:9 widescreen format. Its rich cinematic feel and sweeping visual imagery from places around the globe – including Australia, Canada, Dubai, and numerous locations in the United States, include Hawaii – combine with compelling storylines to produce a fascinating narrative about four Triathletes, four human beings, and one dream, Triathlons’ Ironman World Championship.
