2010 Clearwater Foster Grant Ironman Triathlon Athlete bibs 879, 823, 789, 911, 887, and others I can't make out. All different ages, all different backgrounds, from all around the world! Training and training and training to compete in some of the most difficult races in the world, the triathlon. It really is amazing. I loved how many of them would look toward the camera and smile. It was really fun.

2010 Clearwater Foster Grant Ironman Triathlon Athlete bib 476. Oh, and the bicycles these athletes were racing on were out of this world. All sorts of configurations, all sorts of weird wheels and frames and hardware. So not like anything you see for sale in a garage sale. I love the shoes and racing wear some of them wore. Very cool.
