Men of Iron

Cycled up to see one of the transitions for the Ironman extreme event which is taking place local to us.  These are two of the competitors about to ditch their bikes and commence the marathon distance run of 26.2 miles (42.1km).  They did the open water swim of 2.4 miles (3.9km) early this morning and this is the end of their 112 mile bike ride (180km).  Not for the faint hearted, quite a few chums competing and good to cheer them on - and no I'm not at all tempted  : )
