ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Weston Wheeler is a 2 time Ironman finisher
from Lake Placid, NY, who took a year off from college to film this
documentary. He chose to
do a film on the Ironman triathlon because he wanted to give
back to the community that has given him so much. He put his two loves
together: film and
triathlon, and made a documentary on a subject that has not been
covered before; the age group triathletes. It has
been a long year of filming, editing, and marketing for Weston, but he
has enjoyed every second of it.
He is now catching up with college work at the University of Vermont
and
traveling to some of the premieres.
