Had the opportunity to shoot and do video of the Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, FL on Saturday. All I have to say is that the Ironman is a sick event that showcases a spectrum of hardcore athletes, both amateur and professional, teenage and geriatric. There were some 70-year-old women there who can out swim, bike and run me. That being said, there were opportunities for great photos everywhere. These guys and girls pushed their bodies to the edge of physical endurance and beyond. The winner finished in a little over 3 hours and 40 minutes. That's 70 miles of swimming, biking and running in less than 4 hours for those of you who are keeping score. I've traveled less distance on I-95 in that time. These are a few of my stills.
