This past fall, I was honored to photograph Mirinda Carfrae, the current Ironman Triathlon world champion, for New Balance. Carfrae, from Brisbane, Australia, holds the Ironman Championship course record at Kona, Hawaii (8:52:14, 2013). Just one of the impressive wins on her resume.

I’ve known and worked with many professional athletes over the years. But Rinny might be the fiercest. On her feet, in the water and on a bike.

Moments of peak performance are inspiring. But striving to capture the inner drive and determination these athletes draw from is what fascinates me most as a photographer.

I’ve never seen someone tear up a treadmill like Rinny.

I’ve spent most of my life playing outside – climbing, running, skiing, anything. I love assignments that give me the opportunity to document athletes, especially women, at the top of their game. Best of luck to Mirinda in 2015 and thank you to all the wonderful people at New Balance! Cheers!
