The first and third leg of a duathlon is running as fast as you can, as if you’re trying to catch the wind. The third running leg is the final part of the competition. The first one crossing the finish line, gets the golden medal—the only one that really counts for an athlete.
Yesterday I posted several pictures of athletes riding their bicycles. Today the images are about the competitors running as swift as a gust of wind. All the friends and relatives were rooting for their loved ones as they approached the finish line; it was a very emotional scene.
This is what came out of my Birthday camera. Here we go.
