15:20:45 - a long day
Penticton hosts a huge triathlon every summer with 2,500+ triathletes and over 4,000 volunteers. Every time I watch I fantasize about becoming an Ironwoman. And then I think about all the things I would have to eliminate from my life, like flickr, like Nacho flavoured Doritos and all my spare time.
In this shot I was mostly interested in the pavement grid and the wheels and had a vague idea I wanted to include the guy in the background with the leg injury and the cyclist with tensor band.
It wasn't until I got the shot on my computer that I realized the 'specialized' nature of the tensor band. Once again I am inspired to be an Ironwoman. The fantasy should subside in a week or so. They usually do.
Note: My Triathlete guide says this is Lana Spreeman of Calgary. A quick Google reveals that Lana holds the record for the greatest number of Paralympic Winter Games medals won by a Canadian athlete (skiing).
In a strange twist I think I worked with Lana in Banff in the late '70's when she was a Cat driver and I was the morning breakfast cook at Sunshine Village.
