I've not been around much recently as all my "computer time" has been spent revamping my website, don't really know why I bother but who knows the skills may come in useful one day.

Anyway, my wife does quite a lot of Triathlons (she's a bit mad ), she did Salford at the end of July. Once the keen amateurs had finished we stopped on to watch the elites. I was quite pleased with a few of the shots so I thought I'd post them. I'd be interested to hear what people think of them.

There are, as always, larger versions on my site plus some stuff about Claire's races if anyone's interested. (Dont think I'm in anyway competing with Pixalo so I hope that plug's allowed).

some good 'uns there! Particularly like #4 - clone out that orange raft/boat/whatever at the top and you've a cracker!

Nice set Dan.........that's one crazy sport

Good stuff, I love the swimming one.
You must have been a precarious position for Nos 5 & 6!

Did you say your wife was only a 'bit' mad?

Have huge respect for people who compete in these events. My brother used to compete in Ironman Triathlon competitions:

2.4 miles swim
112 mile bike ride
26 mile marathon

came in around the 11 hours mark....

I couldn't even run to the shops nowadays

Like shots #4 & #6 the best.

Great set of images. Might be worth trying some magazines with them.

Nice shots but tough sport.

Thanks for your comments guys.

Sarah, I did think I might try to sell some but then I was too lazy to do anything about it. I should really send a few shots to the triathlon mags my wife buys as I go to loads of these events and there aren't many photographers at some of the smaller ones.

cheers
