The Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Triathlon Presented by Herbalife started on Venice Beach and ended in downtown Los Angeles on Chick Hearn Ct between the Staples Center and L.A. Live. Easier said than done! The triathlon begins with a swim of 0.9 miles then bicycling of 24 miles and finishing with a run of 6.2 miles.
To photograph this assignment I woke up at 5:50am and left the house a little after 6:00am. I reached Venice Beach around 6:30am about 45 minutes before the elite athletes start time. After photographing on the beach for about an hour, I started walking along Venice Blvd to photograph the biking leg. I then got back to my car to drive downtown. It was rough getting back to the 10 highway because of the street closures. A few mistakes along the way did result in seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger riding his bike on Main Street in Santa Monica.
I finally reached downtown in enough time to catch a few of the elite athletes still on their bikes. I shot a few images then headed my way to the finish line to capture Cameron Dye (Male) who finished first with a time of 1:46:34 and Lisa Norden (Female) in 1:57:16.
Photos will be posted in 3 segments from the triathlon.

I submitted two photographs for the Of Water: Photography Exhibit at Santa Monica College. Both of my prints made it into the show. In case you are unable to see the exhibit in the flesh here are my two submissions.
This photograph was taken at the first water station of the 2009 LA Marathon.
