Soma half Ironman- the Bike
John out of the saddle on the graded hill of the Soma half ironman course.

Hardcore Mike. This was taken a split second before the accident. The woman in frame cut to her right and cut him off. This was the last shot on my last roll of film. I wish to God I had one more frame to shoot because I know I watched the accident through my lens and tried to activate the shutter. BTW, I went to the store and bought more film and medical stuff for Mike and was able to shoot the rest of the race, if your wondering how I got the finish line stuff.

those action shot look nice. Did u took it with a film camera or a SLR?
Bummer about your buddy. Doesn't he know you pass on the left? Hope his little crash didn't mess up what look to be some pretty awesome tattoes.
cliff, see personal e-mail. For the rest of you interested, I used a Nikon N80 35mm with telephoto lens.
Puddyrat, its a downhill, tight left turn. I think ettiquete is to stay your line through the turn. The picture dosen't do justice to the cut right she made infront of him. Yes the tats are impressive.
