I went bicycling along Lake Monona yesterday. The Ironman Wisconsin race was going on at the time, and I took a break from my ride to photograph and cheer on the racers (who were riding along side the recreational trail).

You have to admire these athletes. After a swimming two and a half miles, they bike 112 miles, and then run a 26 mile marathon! The men’s and women’s winners finished in 8:38:32, and 9:27:26 respectively. Amazing. I doubt I’d be able to complete the bike course in that amount of time.
