We were very pleased to be the the official photographers for the OSIM Singapore International Triathlon 2011 held over the weekend of the 30th and 31st of July 2011. For all involved though the preparation had been going on for months, in our case weeks.

An event of this scale involved thousands of people, with hundreds of volunteers alone. In our case some credits are definitely due.

The OSIM Singapore International Triathlon is the largest event of its kind in Asia, with thousands of competitors from toddlers through to elite professional athletes from around the world and hundreds of volunteers and of course the Triathlon Association of Singapore staff. For most of those involved it meant an early start on both race days, from about 4am with competitors arriving about 6am, well before the sun was up.


Volunteers preparing for the day


Getting ready for the day ahead in the Transition Area


Competitors arriving very early


The Transition area was already filling up as the sun rises over Singapore


It was a very early start for the kids


Of course body marking was needed to keep track of everyone


Of course the trickle of competitors becomes a rush


With thousands to be done


And legs also


It wasn't long before they were off


And moving into the swim


Boys start of swim event


And hitting the water


And they were not shy about it


The sun coming out made it even nicer


Plenty of spectators added to the excitement


The racing involved all age groups


Out in the ocean


Adults ready to start the full course


Briefing before a start


It wasn't long before the swim was over


Finishing the swim


And the bike leg began


Along flats


And up gradients


At high speeds


And even time for fun


From the high tech


Through to low tech


And of course it is thirsty work


Dismounting to begin the run


The Transition area with thousands of bicycles


For all ages


And all abilities


Lastly the run


There is lots of running


Some are very focused


And not giving up


Of course drinks are provided


It is very hot and thirsty work


Eventually you see the finish


And cross the line


You have just swam, run and biked


The Hong Kong Boys celebrate


And the Aussie girls


Some salute the crowds


Others take a well earned massage
