Wildflower Triathlon Part IV - Photo Gallery

What color is your cap?

The place to buy beer sodas water, have you tried it?

Andy Baldwin with Sarah Reinertsen and friend with a miraculous story... stay tuned.

The air ambulance made it out twice - once to help a top athlete who was having severe back pain, and a second time to help an athlete with dehydration. These photos I shot on the first ambulance pick up, which happened on the top of a nearby hill.

"Hey mom, I did kind of well today..."

Fast.

Professional Triathletes.

What is interesting about this photo of Julie Moss interviewing the second place female pro, is the looks on the faces of the audience.

First and second place.

The triathlon family.

Winning Wildflower must be a very wild feeling. To go through that much pain, and then to win...

Triathlon's secret society...

At the awards.

Tired Me Beach.

Long day for the pros.

Ready.

The air was chilly in the morning, but the sun warmed up the day quickly.

Determination.

"Honey, while you do your swim bike run thing, I'm just going to take a little nap, ok?"

It's hard to look good in wetsuits, but this crew sure looks pretty good.

Transition area - Warning: if you enter this area - it will transition your life in a different direction.

Blue caps.

The starting horn sounded.


The race morning walk to the transition area.

Race ready.

Endless pool with a view.
