ironman

i'm not sure what's wrong with a person who'd want to "workout" all day long, but... let me tell you there are plenty of those nut jobs out there and i'm proud to say i know one of them ;)

my friend, jeremy! he completed his first ironman this past november.

his super-awesome-sweet-girlfriend, meg, hired me to document the day for him. because it's kindof a big deal. (my friend avram did this same ironman several years ago, but i had a wedding that day & missed it -avram i'll document your next one :)

i got there about 20 minutes before the race started -the anticipation was intense. what i didn't expect was to cry off and on all day long. i was worn out & all i did was photograph the man. it was such a cool experience, thank you for letting me be a part of it! and meg thanks for getting me such great access!

enjoy the slide show :)




a few images included were taken by other peops:

  1. How cool to capture this accomplishment for "The Beard." Um you seriously disturbed me in one shot!!!!

    I loved the tenderness between the two of them after the swim. Thanks for sharing great shots!

  2. So it has been a life long dream of mine to compete(and finish) an Ironman. These pictures are so inspirational, now if I could just find the will power and a way to train! Congrats to Jeremy, what an accomplishment!

  3. Awesome pictures. Thanks for bringing back such good memories. Also, I am seriously jealous of that beard. Jeremy did great, I can tell because he was still happy at the end.

  4. Thanks for the wonderful comments everyone! As cliche as it sounds; it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Megan really captured the essence of the journey and I am humbled to inspire others in this way. You can do it if you choose to! - JEREMY
