I came I saw and I ....... took photos..

After reading all the iRonman reports, teruja pulak aku to write MY version of the recent iRonman event. So anything below written in Malay is to be read ala gaya rempit with Utara slang. Coz that was what we did.. Ktorang merempit beb!!
One scooter ,one motor kapcai, two girls and a guy. Lets say there were some minor accidents during the merempit-ings but dont worry no iRonmen were harm in the event.
Since i didnt really participate and just became the groups unofficial photographer I can only give you the details camera wise.
Camera wise.. we definitely had some high end equipment. Our set consisted of a NikonD40X with 18-135mm kit lense, Canon Eos 200D and Canon EOS 40D with interchangeable lenses 90-300mm and 24-135mm.
And.... the best part is, for once my pictures were put to official use here
Yups.. i took those two pictures baybee..! although i have to give some credit to my motorbike driver for the second photo :)
This year's ironman definitely gave me a lot of chances to take some very good pictures as there were less people in Langkawi with the CNY crowd all gone back home and I got to go up until the beach where the starting line for T1 was and i didnt have to fight the crowd to take pictures of transition to T2. And it definitely helped that we traveled on motorbike as I was able to take photos ala ala official camera crew gituh. It is definitely an inspiring event and when you see the men and women.. short and tall.. thin and fat.. the disabled and the blind, you finally see that there is true meaning in Nothing is Impossible! Lepas tuh siap ada 3 marriage proposals plak tuh at the finishing line since it coincided with Chap Goh Meh.. and that was really touching to see...apa apa pon Congratulations to all the Ironman finishers!
