2010 Ironman Calgary70.3 images



Rose from tri it









 It was a wet and cloudy beginning to the 2010 Ironman Calgary70.3 event, but by the time most of the athletes were in the run the weather had settled down.

 Unfortunately, this was the day the mosquitoes decided to spring into action and many athletes were virtually swarmed out on the bike course if they had to stop for a flat or any other reason. The secret was to keep moving and then the pests were not that much of a factor.

As usual there was great fan support as there was for the inaugural race. Other than the weather the race itself went off very well and the finishers I talked to seemed to like the changes to the run course.
