Color of Battle

After several days of intense editing, I can finally keep my word and bring you the final post in this photo series from Saturday’s triathlon.
This marks the last entry of the coverage. If you haven’t seen the previous two one focused on the men’s competition and the other on the women’s… you can find them among my earlier black and white posts.

In triathlon, there’s no room for hesitation. Every pedal stroke, every straight under the sun, every turn carved with grit is part of a silent war waged in the body and the mind.
Gender doesn’t matter here; everyone shows up to endure. To battle the heat, the terrain, the fatigue, and every trace of doubt.
And in the middle of it all: the scene. Speed, tension, and color. The helmets, the shades, the bikes. The raw, vivid force that explodes when men and women push forward, chasing their best selves.

As a photographer, I shot this series with my Canon 5D Mark III and two lenses that gave me the versatility I needed a 24-105mm for dynamic, immersive shots, and a 70-300mm to catch the action from afar without breaking the intensity. My goal was simple: to freeze the exact moment when color becomes character.
Hope you like it… enjoy
