This series of photos from the Armed Forces Triathlon were taken by the wonderful Wendy aka Mrs. Machine. Official photag for the AzTriClub.
There is a lot of newbies who do this race. Good people who just don't have that much time in open water, as evidenced by this series of photos with an intrepid triathlete who really has no clue about how to swim straight.
From all accounts this 1,000 meter swim, in the same lake as Ironman Arizona, was much more brutal to those who did both. Nothing intentional but googles were lost, nose peices dislodged, groping in bathing suit areas, punches, kicks, roll overs. A true washing machine, not from the churning of water but the colliding of bodies in a tight area.

Oh yeah..that looks crazy!!
nasty!
i'm starting to think this sport attracts the same kinda losers i used to put up with in hockey, the kind that don't want to score a goal, but are always lookin' to throw a punch.
great pics! Ah...triathletes :) We are one nutty bunch
You sure that's triathlon and not water polo? Or a rugby scrum?
