Last Sunday at the Ironman South Africa event here in Port Elizabeth I snapped this pic of one of the competitors who got to the start a couple of minutes late. All the other competitors were in the water on the swimming leg already when this guy came strolling by quite casually as he was putting on his goggles.

What a gorgeous sunrise. Maybe he wanted to enjoy it alone. Hope he finished the race.

Awesome! I thought about competing in an iron man once and that was about as far as it went, just a thought. Maybe one day it will happen.
