Here you will see every event known to Northwest triathlon. Tri-Cal's Wildflower is the opener of the year and from there you will see footage from Vance Creek, WA; Blue Lake, OR; Hagg Lake, OR; Beaver Lake in Issaquah, WA; The Olympics Triathlon, Danskin, Escape the Rock on Mercer Island, Black Hills, Kingfisher, and Ironman Canada. The film crews then ended up spending Ironman week in Hawaii where the seed was planted for the next year's story. There is a lot of raw energy and emotion in this work, it's not perfect, but they tried hard to finish with the same spirit of community and camaraderie with which they started. Being their first production, this video is nowhere near perfection, however this group from Bainbridge Island, WA have continued to film triathlon events and this coverage is worth a look. Special thanks is given to St. Louis based musicians from Vitamin A and The Schwag for their help with the soundtrack. This tape was once made available by Pro-Motion X5 films in VHS format.
