They're HEEEERE!!!!!

At long last, I am pleased to announce the DVD's for the movie "The Distance: A Triathlete's Journey" are IN!!! I am happy to say the packaging and disc are absolutely beautiful, perfectly complementing the remarkable stories of Tammy, Josh and Dave on the DVD inside!

You can check out the movie trailer on YouTube, my personal Facebook page or the Facebook Group page for "The Distance: A Triathlete's Journey". In addition, the trailer and select scenes will soon be featured as a serial on the Beginner Triathlete homepage (though I'm not quite sure when Ron will be beginning the series.)

I will also soon be going live with the website at www.distancedvd.com where the movie will be available for purchase for $23.95 plus $6 postage and processing (read: me putting it in a padded envelope with your address on it and running it over to the US Post Office.)

However, as a special "thank you" to all the Donkeys and other BTers who have followed my progress on the movie and gave me so much support along the way, I would like to offer a special discount.

For those of you close enough to see me in person (say, at a special Rocky's Friday next week?), the movie will be available for just $20, with obviously no postage fee. For those who would like me to mail you a copy, the movie will be available for just $25 INCLUDING postage and packaging.

For these special offers, I will be accepting cash or checks only, and I will be making these special offers available ONLY THROUGH MARCH 31ST-- after that, I will be accepting internet orders only, except during screenings or live appearances.

To order by mail, please make your check for $25/copy out to "Big Yellow Dog Films" and send to:

Big Yellow Dog Films
3815 N. Brookfield Rd.
Suite 104 PMB 135
Brookfield, WI 53045

Be sure to include your mailing address!

Once again, thanks to everyone who has supported and encouraged me over the course of this last year and, of course, special thanks to the stars of the show-- Tammy, Josh and Dave-- who allowed me to share their remarkable personal journeys.

I hope you enjoy the movie. And, if you do, I'd appreciate telling your friends about it!

Thanks again,

Rich Ratay
