I couldn’t be anymore prouder… : Set back after set back has kept @sarahkimbonner from being on a triathlon start line, and after missing @ironmanlanzarote 70.3 a few weeks ago with a cold, we looked high and low for another season starter. Her motivation and determination holds no bounds. : From one Spanish Island to another, we found @triportocolom in Mallorca (thanks @noelmulkey ) .. a distance of 111km (1km swim, 100km bike, 10km run), closed roads, perfect weather and the prefect organization that made you feel like family from the beginning (thank you David & Arancha) … oh, and some nice prize money too. : Spoiler alert 🚨 : @sarahkimbonner got on the podium… but you’ll have to check her race report out for all the details. 🤪 : : : 📸 @rafababotphotography 🙏🏻 : : : #triathlonpro #triathlonphoto #triathlonphotography #Sportphotography #sportphotographer #sportphoto #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto (at Porto Colom, Islas Baleares, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLwj3HMqTq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s almost 17 years that I’ve know this Estonian man-mountain @ain_alar .. and he’s the reason that I fell in love with Ironman triathlons all that time ago. : Back in 2005 I shot my very first Ironman Lanzarote, I had no idea what was going off. All I knew was that I needed to be on the finish line at a certain time to photograph the winner. That winner was Ain-Alar. I was in awe. Maybe it was a guy crush, but this 6ft-something of a man, ripped to shreds, finishing the @ironmanlanzarote in just over 8hrs, blew my mind. I was hooked. I’m came back the following year, where Ain once again took the title. : In recent years he created and is the race director for @ironman_estonia .. : Today it was really great to see such an inspiration, and such a nice human still looking as good as he did 17 years ago. : The plan now: photograph his race in Tallinn one day. : : 📸 @tiiastage at @clublasanta : : Shot on @canonespana #triathlonpro #triathlonphoto #triathlonphotography #Sportphotography #sportphotographer #sportphoto #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto #ironmanlanzarote https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca5LUa5MFim/?utm_medium=tumblr

First triathlon of the season checked off last Saturday, and for me it was nice to shoot a bunch of friends on my home soil of Lanzarote, competing in this tough Olympic distance hosted by @clublasantaraces : It wasn’t so much of a surprise that Spain’s darling of triathlon @saraperezsala topped the podium. A total beast in all disciplines, it looks like she’s at the top of her game and ready to rip up the short and middle distance tri scene this season. : Champ for the mens race was @gregory.barnaby the short distance specialist from Italy.. most famous for rocking the Lionel Sanders ‘tash’, was in another league, leading from the start, there was no way he was getting caught by rivals on the day Dieter Comhair & Per Van Vlerken. : The Volcano Triathlon is Spains oldest triathlon, hosted by @clublasanta since 1984, this Olympic distance tri consists of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run. : : Shot on @canonespana #triathlonpro #triathlonphoto #triathlonphotography #Sportphotography #sportphotographer #sportphoto #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto #clublasanta #volcanotriathlon #saraperezsala (at Club La Santa Lanzarote) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cal0-b2snTR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rain didn’t stop play, but this rainbow did … : Finally got myself a rainbow 🌈 shot (photo bombed by @alexander.deboer ) ..

Entering my 6th season shooting with @bmcprotri … we’ve seen a few changes over the years, but one thing is for sure, I’ll mostly be hanging out of the back of the team van, rolling around on the ground or tucked in the undergrowth somewhere, capturing athlete and team sponsors content… : Brand activation at its finest. Kindly captured in action by team co-owner @bendewolf1 : Cheers Ben 🙌🏻 📸 @bendewolf1 : : Shot on @canonespana #triathlonpro #triathlonphoto #triathlonphotography #Sportphotography #sportphotographer #sportphoto #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto #bmcpro #bmctriathlon (at Sands Beach Active) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZP8dYRsp7-/?utm_medium=tumblr
