IRON FACES_2008

Impressions of the IRONMAN GERMANY/IRONMAN European Championship 2008(Triathlon).
500.000 spectators, 2.200 athletes from 45 nations - the biggest annual sports event of the city.
Fotos taken on sunday 06th of july 2008 in Frankfurt.
In the tradition of last year my focus was again to catch the expression of the faces and the scenes beside the race track as well.
It`s highly recommended to view the fotos in original size!
