 I was lucky enough to me photographing a good mate competing in 2009 Australian Ironman, just after this challenge was announced.

Very little editing. Converted from RAW. No cropping.
Minor adjustments using brightness/contrast and Hue/saturation. Resized and saved to the web.

I believe this shot could have used a bit more contrast, or maybe B&W treatment? It's also a bit soft in focus.

Face if a little OOF, but great capture of the intensity on his face...

A terrific capture demonstrating the nature of fitness. Good detail although it appears to be just slightly soft in focus but this does not impact the subject negatively. Excellant DOF control giving a sense of detail without being over whelming. A top fifteen image for sure - possibly a top ten.
