Swim Start IronMan 70.3

Scott F. Schilling (Highland, United States) on 11 April 2009 in Sport & Recreation.

This is one of my favorite parts of the race as the gun goes off and a frenzy of swimmers race through the water.

Looks like the water is bubbling with fish when sharks or dolphins are about. Surreal image

I can see that you have more than just a budding interest in shooting sports Scott. Something tells me your wife is somewhere in this image?

@Don Smith: Don, yes - the problem is with the swim start I can never find her - so I just have to take a photo of her groups start and know she is probably mixed in there somewhere??

Tracy from La Selva Beach, United States

This is very cool. These guys are a little intense. I assume the pink hats are so no one gets lost.
