A few pics from the Ironman Wales Triathlon taking place in Tenby today.
I got up at 5.30 in order to watch the swim section of the event.
~
Athletes pouring down the road to the North Beach start
~
After a heavy shower had passed over, the sun began to rise on a calm sea.
~
7.00 am - 1800 + entrants rush in to the sea for their 2.5 mile swim
~
St John were on hand to give help where needed.
~
Swimmers arriving at the end of the first circuit of the swim course.
~
A rather disinterested spectator - but he was wearing an Ironman T-shirt!
~
Swimmers are much more spread out as they come to the end of their 2.5 miles!
~
He is pleased to have finished the swim -
but now has a 112 mile cycle ride -
and then a 26.2 marathon run!!
~
Cut off time for last athlete home is midnight tonight.
The locals will still be at the finish to cheer the last man/woman in whatever time it is!
~

This is giving regular updates throughout the day.
~
Have a great Sunday whatever you are doing.
