Ironman age group qualifiers waiting for the starter at the Ironman World Championships.
|
|
The next 8 images below were all provided by Scott Wilson, who captured the moment between working at his local triathlon clubs aid station.
|
|
|
1). Torbjorn Sindballe.
A perennial monster on the bike, he again came off the bike 1st and this year he managed to hold on for 3rd overall.
|
2). Chris McCormack working hard on the bike.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5). Electrolyte replacement in the heat is essential.
|
|
6). It is volunteers like this local triathlon club group in the images above and below, that really make an event.
|
|
7). Plenty of fluids helps to get through a hot day.
|
|
888). Great acheivements all round.
All the photos below are by Lee Shelly(along with the first 3 above).

|
Unbelievable, racing hard out in such a long race.
|
|
Flying around the hot corner.
|
Michellie Jones .
Last year's winner pulled out at mile 90 of the bike. :-(
|
Tim Deboom.
Today 4th would have to be good enough.
|

|
Torrbjorn Sindballe.

Marino Vanhoenacker
A good day out and 5th overall today.
|
|
|
Kate Major.
Took out the 3rd overall in the womans race.
|
Leanda Cave.
Took the 8th overall womans.
Up until recent times still competing in olympic distance triathlons like the second placed woman Samantha McClone.
|
|
|
Chris Lieto was 6th overall and just 10 mins back from the winning time.
|
Craig Alexander would finish in 2nd place overall, just 3min 30sec back.
|
|
Eventual winner Chris McCormack looking strong and fresh on the marathon at the 2007 Ironman World Championships.
Marathon completed in just over 2 hours and 42mins!
|
Chrissie Wellington.
In just her 2nd Ironman, she won going away. She smiled the whole way around the course and showed a style that was refreshing.
