Ironman and Ironwoman : part one

Firstly, let me say a big good luck to Jane and Patrick who are competing in the Abu Dhabi International Triathlon 2011 this weekend. Good luck lads, we will be thinking of you! You can follow the action here.

But, to explain, towards the end of last year I discovered that Jane, the mother of one of my karate students was a triathlete. Not only that, but her husband Patrick is also a triathlete. You know the type; hyper fit, whether it is on the bike, swimming or running, just amazing really.

I wanted to do a series of shots of Jane and her bike, and running and swimming. So I approached her one Saturday morning and asked if she would be my model and to my delight she said yes! At the same time, I was already thinking of how I would cajole Patrick to be part of this; I mean how often do you come across a husband and wife triathlete duo? Not very often. So expect a few more shots as the year progresses.

These are a few of the shots we did in the studio.

I shall be posting more from the shoot in the next few weeks, but I just wanted to say a big good luck to both Jane and Patrick; good luck and watch out for the blisters...!
