That pre-World Champs altitude swim session with Lucy Charles Barclay in Cedar City. : And the first session I got to try out my new @liquideyewaterhousings underwater housing for the Canon R3 (& RF15-35) : I managed to grab a few stills in between shooting video content for the Ironman race series ‘A Fighting Chance’ (on YouTube). : It was hard enough holding my breath underwater for any length of time, due to the pool being at altitude in Cedar City, but the hardest part was to keep the housing underwater long enough being so buoyant with the air trapped inside it. It’s also why I’m wearing a rash vest to try and make myself as less buoyant as possible. : The following session I rented dive weights, 4lbs attached to the housing and 4lbs attached to my waist. 4lbs (1.8kg). Perfect. : : : 🎥 @wilhelmohman : #underwaterphotographer #Sportphotography #pro_triathletes #triathlonlife #tri365 #trihood #trimotivation #portraitofanathlete #triathlongram #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #triathlon_in_the_world #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto #badassery #humansoftriathlon #lucycharlesbarclay (at Cedar City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck8JaFasFRd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This girl … a pure inspiration for all young female athletes and for all athletes who go through injuries and the doubts they face when they have them. . What a come back year for @lucycharles93 .. any result yesterday would have been a win, after missing the World Champs in St George earlier this year due to a stress fracture, Lucy absolutely nailed her race here at the @ironmantri World Champs here in Kona. . Forth time second place, but “it was a win just getting to the start line here in Kona” LCB. .

After many weeks on the road, I appreciate more and more the down-time I have, and the time I can spend with my GF @sarahkimbonner along with great friends. Thanks to Katie and Gids for showing us the Torrent Neuf route here in Switzerland. What a beautiful trail cut into the mountain side. . Part of my photographic work includes extensive travel around the world, and one of my most favorite things about it is to discover new places. The world never ceases to surprise me with its beauty. Particularly here in the Swiss alps. It’s a pleasure to spend a few days here with Sarah and our kind friends Katie and Gids here in La Tzoumaz And I can’t wait to hit the trails and discover Verbier and the mountains around this area. : : 📸 @hyamsg (at Torrent-Neuf) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgppJFXvj9v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I couldn’t be anymore prouder… : Set back after set back has kept @sarahkimbonner from being on a triathlon start line, and after missing @ironmanlanzarote 70.3 a few weeks ago with a cold, we looked high and low for another season starter. Her motivation and determination holds no bounds. : From one Spanish Island to another, we found @triportocolom in Mallorca (thanks @noelmulkey ) .. a distance of 111km (1km swim, 100km bike, 10km run), closed roads, perfect weather and the prefect organization that made you feel like family from the beginning (thank you David & Arancha) … oh, and some nice prize money too. : Spoiler alert 🚨 : @sarahkimbonner got on the podium… but you’ll have to check her race report out for all the details. 🤪 : : : 📸 @rafababotphotography 🙏🏻 : : : #triathlonpro #triathlonphoto #triathlonphotography #Sportphotography #sportphotographer #sportphoto #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto (at Porto Colom, Islas Baleares, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLwj3HMqTq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s almost 17 years that I’ve know this Estonian man-mountain @ain_alar .. and he’s the reason that I fell in love with Ironman triathlons all that time ago. : Back in 2005 I shot my very first Ironman Lanzarote, I had no idea what was going off. All I knew was that I needed to be on the finish line at a certain time to photograph the winner. That winner was Ain-Alar. I was in awe. Maybe it was a guy crush, but this 6ft-something of a man, ripped to shreds, finishing the @ironmanlanzarote in just over 8hrs, blew my mind. I was hooked. I’m came back the following year, where Ain once again took the title. : In recent years he created and is the race director for @ironman_estonia .. : Today it was really great to see such an inspiration, and such a nice human still looking as good as he did 17 years ago. : The plan now: photograph his race in Tallinn one day. : : 📸 @tiiastage at @clublasanta : : Shot on @canonespana #triathlonpro #triathlonphoto #triathlonphotography #Sportphotography #sportphotographer #sportphoto #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto #ironmanlanzarote https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca5LUa5MFim/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy International Women’s Day. : : I have the fortunate pleasure of working with so many talente d women through sport and through my work creating the media around them. : There’s too many super humans to mention, so I’m going to use this post to celebrate the most important woman in my life @sarahkimbonner .. rain or shine, she’s always strives to be the best she can be, and if you know her, then you’ll know she’s a super nice human. 🥰 : #internationalwomensday https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2Y5S4MveC/?utm_medium=tumblr

First triathlon of the season checked off last Saturday, and for me it was nice to shoot a bunch of friends on my home soil of Lanzarote, competing in this tough Olympic distance hosted by @clublasantaraces : It wasn’t so much of a surprise that Spain’s darling of triathlon @saraperezsala topped the podium. A total beast in all disciplines, it looks like she’s at the top of her game and ready to rip up the short and middle distance tri scene this season. : Champ for the mens race was @gregory.barnaby the short distance specialist from Italy.. most famous for rocking the Lionel Sanders ‘tash’, was in another league, leading from the start, there was no way he was getting caught by rivals on the day Dieter Comhair & Per Van Vlerken. : The Volcano Triathlon is Spains oldest triathlon, hosted by @clublasanta since 1984, this Olympic distance tri consists of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run. : : Shot on @canonespana #triathlonpro #triathlonphoto #triathlonphotography #Sportphotography #sportphotographer #sportphoto #triathlonlove #jamesmitchellphotography #endorphinaddict #mitchellprosportfoto #clublasanta #volcanotriathlon #saraperezsala (at Club La Santa Lanzarote) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cal0-b2snTR/?utm_medium=tumblr
