Ridin’ dirty in Abilene, Texas.

Volunteers lather my dad with sunscreen in the transition area before the marathon section of the Memorial Herman Texas Iron Man. See the rest of the project here.
I have a new project about my old man doing the Memorial Hermann Texas Iron Man race a couple weeks ago. I’m super proud of him and this project. Holler!

Swim start, Memorial Herman Iron Man in the Woodlands, Texas.
On Saturday, my dad did his first full Iron Man at the age of 60. I knew Iron Man races were crazy but trying to do a photo project at one really put it in perspective. I’m in relatively decent shape and I’m 26 and I almost died just trying to photograph this race, much less do it. I am really excited about this project I shot of the race. I am so incredibly proud of my dad. He ended up placing third in his Age group despite claiming that he “just wanted to finish”.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Iron Man races, they consist of a 2.4 mile swim in open water, a 112 mile bike ride and a full 26.2 mile marathon to finish everything off.
