Judy's Time is a moving and humorous portrayal of a woman whose athletic
talent
sparked her spectacular midlife transformation and changed the community around
her.
"She
sparkles with life, this Judy Flannery.
The
evidence is plain as morning light in Judy’s Time, a loving tribute to
the Bethesda woman, who went from a
47-year-old
sweet-natured soccer mother of five to a world-champion triathlete . . . .
Her untimely death left a legacy of charm and inspiration . . . . Obviously, the
world is poorer for her tragic absence. But it won’t forget her, thanks in
part to a film like this."
—Desson Howe, The Washington Post
ABOUT JUDY FLANNERY:
"She came to
the
grueling world of triathlon competition later in life than most. . . . Flannery
wasn't just good, she was the best: six U.S. and four world triathlon
championships." —CBS Evening News with Dan Rather
"She ran, she swam, she biked. . . . She'd have winning streaks that
would go
on
for four, five, six years in a row. . . . She was a hurricane of energy and
encouragement. The older she got the better she got. She seemed to be a reversal
of the aging process." Bill Lyon, Philadelphia Inquirer
"As enthusiastic about her sport as she was proficient in it, Ms.
Flannery, a bubbly woman with a perpetual smile, was an accomplished recruiter
who charmed thousands of women into taking up the sport. . . ." Robert
McG. Thomas, Jr. New York Times
