He traded the peloton for open water, the road bike for a triathlon suit — and set his sights on one of the most demanding long-distance races in the world.

The film follows former professional cyclist Ruben Zepuntke over four months as he prepares for his long-distance triathlon debut at Challenge Roth.

From the Middle Distance European Championships in Walchsee to the Ironman 70.3 in Rapperswil-Jona — every race a milestone, every training session a step closer to Roth.
