The movie
chronicles the first ever Triple Deca Continuous triathlon, in which
participants completed 114 kilometres of swimming, 5,400 kilometres of cycling
and 1,266 kilometres of running. Jurij Tarča finished second after 888 hours
(37 days). He is currently the only Czech to have successfully completed a Triple
Deca Continuous triathlon.
“During the
race, he literally had to fight windmills. Everything that could go wrong did
go wrong. The organisation, timekeeping, health... Nevertheless, Jurij prevailed
and proved that you can win even when fighting windmills,” says Monika
Horsáková. “'The film not only follows Jurij’s extraordinary athletic
performance, but also showcases the unique ultra-triathlon community,” adds
Kryštof Kovařík.
Further
screenings of the film are scheduled to take place in Vsetín, Jánské Lázně, and
Ostrava, with discussions featuring the filmmakers and Jurij Tarča himself.
