Athletes compete during the IRONMAN African Championship at Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth South Africa. The race consists of a 3.8km swim, a 180km cycle and finishes with a 42.2 km marathon. It’s an event that is so big, so popular and so special, that the entire word is capitalised. And while the word iconic is overused and has become hopelessly clichéd, it’s surely permissible, just this once, to use it to describe IRONMAN South Africa.

The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has been reinvented to be one of the top running event in the world. I was asked by Asics to shoot their involvement in the event as a race sponsor. The race organisation is headed by Elana Meyer and Francois Pienaar, and is going to be a guaranteed sell out in 2015. Get your entries in early.

IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa a Fairy Tale Ending A triathlon is a triathlon, is a triathlon. Except it isn’t. In the same way that a fish isn’t a dolphin and the 100 metre sprint isn’t a marathon, all triathlons are not the same. All triathlons have a swim, bike and run section, as advertised, and all of them run those disciplines in the same order. The difference, obviously, is in the distances involved.
