New documentary explores gruelling schedule and life of Doncaster triathlete

Captivating feature film "When You Tri" introduces audiences to Doncaster fitness fan Lindsy James, a remarkable individual who holds world records in buggy pushing, champions charitable causes, and excels in duathlon competitions.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Wayne Sables, the documentary follows Lindsy's ambitious quest to conquer the T100k triathlon, a daunting challenge that pushes her beyond her comfort zone.

Despite being an everyday person grappling with self-doubt and fear, Lindsy's journey unfolds as a powerful narrative, intertwining personal struggles with moments of hope and determination.

Through her journey, she aims to raise £100,000 to empower young people and create positive change, particularly in South Yorkshire.

The film not only highlights Lindsy's physical feats but also underscores her commitment to making a difference in the world, showcasing the transformative potential of passion and purpose.

At the heart of Lindsy's journey lies a deep-seated desire to leave the world better than she found it.

As she prepares to tackle the T100, a grueling test of endurance consisting of a 2k ocean swim, 80k bike ride, and 18k run, she seeks to raise £100,000 to empower young people to lead healthy, happy, and active lives.

Her journey is one of vulnerability, self-discovery, and triumph - a journey that mirrors the universal struggle we all face.

Through the lens of "When You Tri" viewers will witness Lindsy's resilience and determination as she confronts her fears head-on, inspiring us all to find our own purpose and make positive changes in our lives.

The film beautifully captures moments of hope, kindness, and gratitude, creating an emotional rollercoaster that will resonate with audiences around the world.

The aim is to see the film receive a premiere at Doncaster’s Savoy Cinema in the autumn, before being launched onto the wider international documentary festival circuit.

“Lindsy is a truly inspirational person, both within Doncaster and at a national level and she has a story that I am delighted I have been given the opportunity to share,” said Wayne.

“It’s the story of somebody who insists they are just an average person, somebody who says they achieve things only because they put the time in."
