Tripling it up in 2010

Sunday saw the frantic racing action of the 2010 edition of the Triple Challenge, a crazy long distance multisport race from Pietermaritzburg to Inanda.  The event comprises of a run, mountain bike and paddle through some of the best scenery the KZN Valley of a Thousand Hills has to offer.  Dan Hugo and Jeanie Bomford dominated the multisport event, whilst the multicross provided some of the best racing in years, with the lead constantly swopping over the course of the race.  Eventually Justin Porteous and Hanlie Booyens took the well deserved titles.

Triple Challenge 2010

So again it has been a little quiet on the shooting front, but things are about to get into gear (excuse the pun) as summer kicks off in a big way!  Next up is Triple Challenge this weekend - an insanely tough event from Pietermaritzburg to Durban, running, riding and paddling.  Shot this last year with some awesome scenery, but not so awesome weather, so lets hope this year we get a break.  Hopefully will get a chance to use some of the nice new toys, which I'll let you know about soon!

Mongoose Schools Series - Final @ Grace College 16-10-10

It was definitely a day for the ducks as the rain came pouring down halfway through racing.  The kids carried on however, whilst I hid my camera in fear of sacrificing another slr to water damage (don't even ask what happened to the last one!).  Got some great images in the forest with the remote flash though whilst it stayed dry for the younger kids.
