As I’ve done every year for the past 8 years, I volunteered my time to take photos of athletes in the Kingston Triathlon.

This year, for the first time since I’ve been shooting at the event, it rained – and boy, did it rain! Since my gear isn’t exactly water-proof (Hasseblad cameras aren’t meant to face the elements, unlike the Canon and Nikon DSLRs). I found myself huddled under the finish tent, with a few other photographers trying to get what shots we could.

As a result, far fewer shots than past years, but nonetheless, I got a few fun shots for the athletes to enjoy.
