Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run 2012

Hi all

Last Sunday morning I enjoyed a quick hour of snapping pics at the Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run. I was happy just to capture the end of the main 10k race. Thanks to everyone who either sent a smile towards the camera or who were obviously putting a big effort in. Some pics:

One of my favourites - nice romantic perspective on this happy couple (who had already run / walked 9 kilometres!):

Colourful outfits


Smile for the Camera!


Long socks were well represented


This year the Pres Care purple shirts were my favourites


Morphsuits


As always, the Event Crew were doing a fantastic job


To finish off, a Panda and a ? Tiger?


Here's my portfolio / main photo gallery on the 2012 Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run.

I also have an extra gallery of UNEDITED pics here.

Thanks so much for looking.

Olympic Welcome Home Parade, Brisbane

Hi all

On Friday 24 August 2012 I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Brisbane Welcome Home Parade for Australian Olympic Athletes who attended the London 2012 Olympics. Here are some pics:

Boomers Basketball Point Guard Adam Gibson


Beach Volleyball Player and five-time Olympian Natalie Cook


The Silver Fox: Australian Kayaking Silver Medallist Jessica Fox


The funniest part was seeing / hearing legendary 'Occer' Aussie Coach Laurie Lawrence racing up the Mall with his arm around swimmer Stephanie Rice, yelling: "Eat your heart out boys!"....


Australian London 2012 Cycling Women's Sprint Gold Medallist, Anna Meares (who also took bronze in the Women's Team Sprint) - here with baby holding duties...

2012 Mooloolaba Men's & Women's ITU Triathlon World Cup Events; Sunshine Coast, Australia

Hi all

Now to photos from the 2012 Mooloolaba Men's ITU Triathlon World Cup & the 2012 Mooloolaba Women's ITU Triathlon World Cup; Sunshine Coast, Australia.

First, the 2012 Mooloolaba Men's ITU Triathlon World Cup

Jimmy Seear showed inspirational aggression in the swim and bike legs, and then a strong group incuding Mario Mola, Brad Kahlefeldt, Laurent Vidal, David Hauss and Brendan Sexton moved ahead in the run. Vidal won the sprint, with Mola being the impressive  ~ relatively new name in the group imho. Some pics:

Luciano Farias in the surf exit


Harunobu Sato (Japan)


Two times Hawaii Ironman Triathlon World Champion Chris McCormack ('Macca')


The lead group in the run leg including Sebastian Rank, Mario Mola and Laurent Vidal


Alternate processing: "Kodak Panatomic X -Exp 1986 Auto" - Last year's 2nd-place-getter, Brendan Sexton


Laurent Vidal, Brad Kahlefeldt & David Hauss approach the finish line

Here's my photo gallery covering the 2012 Mooloolaba Men's ITU Triathon World Cup.


Secondly, the 2012 Women's ITU Triathlon World Cup event

Australian Erin Densham was a sensation. She surprised herself by leading out of the water, and then ran away from a good field on the run. My highlight was hearing the crowd on the rise to Alexandra Headlands giving Erin a loud roar as they saw that, not only was she in the lead on the run, but pulling away from the field. Some pics:

Erin Densham, Andrea Hewitt leading out of the surf at the end of the swim leg


Daniela Ryf and Rachel Klamer exit the surf


Helle Frederiksen with the fast cornering in the bike leg


Lisa Norden in the run leg


Emma Moffatt, Laura Bennett
