Pictures speak louder than words

Well after my win at Ironman Wisconsin I decided to buy the official race photos for the first time ever as people always are asking for race photos for various things and I never have any. So for the price of $115 US (which I think is incredibly expensive) I now have some photos to share of my day.
The beautiful swim start at Lake Monona

Swim exit coming out second female.
The Lake Monana Centre which is our transition, you can see the spiral car park ramp that we run and bike up and down with the spectators lining the sides. Amazing to run up after the swim.
Out on the bike course: The Ceepo Katana is flying!!
Navigating my way up one of the many hills on the course.
Onto the run and loving my first marathon in the K-Ruuz racing flats.
Yay I have finished!!
Post race with my biggest fan and supporter in the world!
Post race chat with Mike Reilly: The voice of ironman.
And just thought I'd throw this one in too as I just love the State Capitol Building.

  1. Nice pictures. I live in Christchurch but I was born and raised in Madison. It is great to see pictures of my home town. Congratulations on your win. It definitely raised the spirits of everyone in Christchurch after the earthquake.

  2. (as a complete luddite) You look veeery relaxed on the run, but a bit hunched on the bike ?
    Awesome race and thanks for the tweets/blogging.
