It rained for most of the morning Saturday, making the Heritage EagleMan Triathlona soggy one and getting in and out of the field parking lot a challenge. It was a good day, though, and I heard the weather was perfect for the race itself.
While I ended up being soaked to the bone, I made some nice images. And, as a photographer, that’s really all I can ask for, though I get some hilarious and odd stories from being out on assignment. Trust me.
Here are some of my favorite images from the race itself:
