Swim Bike Run...Repeat #1
2008.04.06
I think the swim is the hardest to capture. I have yet to capture "the washing machine" feeling.
|
The guys on the boards have saved my hide before when both of legs cramped up at the same time!
|
Go Kylie! She rocks the sports world. Running, cycling, adventure racing, triathlons on and off road. I want to be like her when I grow up. :) And she was 2nd in her age group today!
|
There were some paved roads on the course, but most of it was dirt.
|
The hills are so green right now in Bonelli, it was a beautiful ride.
|
Downhill
|
Uphill, no rest at all.
|
Some people rode their brakes all the way down the hill.
|
Others didn't use them at all!
|
No fear!
|
Have to concentrate or you'll crash (you can see evidence of one on his shoulder).
|
The only way to fly.
|
He's having a blast!
|
Too fast for my lens.
|
3-8 were taken with a faster shutter speed (around 1/500s). 9-15 were taken with slower shutter speeds to blur the background (1/60 or 1/80s). It was hard to pan on these shots because they were going behind trees as they went down the hill!

**********************************************************************
These photos are from the Renegade OffRoad Tri this morning. My friend Kylie was racing but I didn't know it. At least not until I saw her thru my lens the first go round of the bike! Woo! Go Kylie!
So, you know bolder here on photoblog? We've never met but we became friends in a roundabout way. Here's the story.
1 - Kylie invited me on a ride out to see the Redlands Races (like the San Dimas Races from last week).
2 - I wrote about it on my triathlon blog.
3 - Jonathan (from the races last week) saw my blog title and read it because he'd raced them before.
4 - We started reading each other's tri/cycing blogs.
5 - Bolder was also reading his blog and left some...interesting comments so I decided to check out his blog.
6 - I lurked on his tri blog for a while. He has a lot of lurkers.
7 - I finally left a comment.
8 - He returned the favor, saw I like photography, we started talking photography.
And I've been a thorn in his side ever since! So he can blame it all on Kylie. :P
Strange how things happen, eh?

A great action packed set Lisa - Kylie looks very focussed! I really like the sense of speed on the downhill shots especially #9 and 12.

Nice story. And those shots are fantastic! Especially the panning ones. It is hard to get these things good. There are usually only a couple ok on a big bunch, but a lot turned out super here. You really got the touch, it seems. My fav is #10.

WOW SUPER!! Know what it is like to try and capture something very fast. I like to photograph race cars zooming around. Plus they are a bigger target!! LOL Great Tri shots!!!
