sport - is it torture or not?

[steve_r]

it all depends on what you call torture i guess?, couple pics from a multisport event i was at on the weekend. 44kms of cycling , 16km run, 22km of Kayaking ... these pictures were taken as they finished the Kayak leg only had 10meters to go until the mountain bike transition ( mtb stage still 26km of hills! ). Most had trouble walking because their legs had seized after the 1st 2 sections then doing nothing in the Kayak for about an hour. I don't know i just like these 2 shots - showing the help needed & the dead look in his eyes as he knows its only a little bit further until he's on the bike again.

Looks better to be the photographer and NOT the participant on this one.;)

Sitting in a kayak cuts some of the circulation off in your legs.
