Azalea Triathlon

The Azalea Tri is a sprint format triathlon that takes place each year on the campus of UNCW. Sprints are great because, well, they are shorter. It's a very different kind of race from a full tri. This year the weather was great. Nice and warm unlike last year's bitter, cold wind. The indoor swim at the UNCW pool provided a difficult lighting situation under dim, florescent light, but the conditions outside were a perfect blue sky day. I had some fun taking photos while Kate raced and it gave me some good ideas for the next time I shoot at a triathlon.
