Thanks, Dan. I struggled a bit on the day, wasn't feeling very motivated and the rain & light weren't helping much. > Is it a full triathlon, including a full marathon race? No, there were actually several events which is why the pics might seem a bit jumbled. The final elite event was still quite short with a 500m swim, 15km bike (drafting allowed) and a 5km run. So really a sprint triathlon. They had a couple of olympic-level athletes turn up which was quite a treat. > Those hardy > folks crossing the finish line certainly appear in better shape than > those I have seen finishing the Iron Man, but the weather probably was > not a hot as on Hawaii. It probably was the day before, it reached 35 degrees C on my side of town. I don't know how people can do Iron Man races, it's absolutely incredible. And the fastest athletes do the marathon in well under 3 hours. Jaw-dropping.
