I had opportunity to photograph the Challenge Barcelona-Maresme Iron Man distance triathlon at the weekend - and what a spectacle it was.
There were loads of Brits taking part - and anyone can order copies of the images taken at the even for my site runracephotos.com.
You can see the images and athletes available here: http://runracephotos.com/challenge-barcelona.html

After 25 international seasons Plätzer shows how to end a career on a high
01 October 2009 09:30
The culmination of 25 international seasons has left Kjersti Plätzer drained but satisfied, upon retaining her IAAF Race Walking Challenge title.
“I'm, empty but very relieved.” said the 37-year-old Norwegian a week after the IAAF Race Walking Challenge Final in Saransk, and six weeks after being disqualified in Berlin. “Now I can retire on a high which is so important for me.” Such a long career has several beginnings - in Plätzer’s case due to injuries and motherhood. With her coach, Stephan, also her husband it may be a little intrusive to enquire deeply about some of their planning - but, what shines through is Plätzer’s sense of enjoyment of competition and the love of a challenge.
