They were going to get wet anyway...

The weather gods weren't very kind for the Ironman and Ironwman finals in Noosa yesterday (they're not being very kind to anyone at the moment, are they??) but it was still a top event. There was a big crowd there, given how wet it was, and the atmosphere was great.

I'm so much in awe of the women and men who do these races. For the Noosa event, which was the final of a five race series, they did a 1.3km swim, 2.3km on the boards and 3.2km on paddle skis - and they do it an incredible speed. They didn't have to contend with the waves they struck at Portsea in Victoria last weekend but they were still challenging conditions.

Here's a snap I took from the balcony of the Surf Club, where it was nice and dry!
