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!




GO JUICY Start No.1255 a young iron face ;-) such a smile after that torture...
The face of a winner... Power and happiness in front of the skyline of Frankfurt in trance of determination the tongue
Lady in Red is watching the race frame filler ;) sweat beside the race track
statement pain 100 % IRONMAN the thoughts of a long distance runner
*** *** the glow of an iron woman... the hammer
fire and ice The fight against time and opponents with THIS smile she`s the winner for me! :) a moment of the doubt to itself
*** bleeding eyes...and the heart of a lion advantage RED_1 advantage RED_2
Carolin, Lilli and...another pair of legs *** C`mon hon` - together we pull it through...! take it to the limit...one more time!
ultra sports beside the race track crossing the lines one of his longest days....
a soft face beside the iron faces... (Little) Red Riding Hood thumbs up for Indiana Jones... the biker with the grin and the lady with the day pack
It`s better to burn out than to fade away... sweat the loneliness of a long distance runner will power
Triabolo Warrior fighting against itself the unconditional desire I`m in focus...;-)
*** *** The Champ accessoires_1
acessoires_2 men and women... no pain - no gain ***
beside the race track... thumbs up! ...thanks for this smile! ***
support for the athletes by the crowd Jürgen and the girl with the bike Fan of start no. 24 beside the race track
beside the race track Macca, the Champ *** symbiosis of physically and mentally strength
*** time running for tequila listen to your body
3 triabolos in the square of competition 29:55 *** The pursuit - THE END
