Take a look at these amazing photos from last weekend's Ironman New Zealand, where Marko Albert (EST) and Meredith Kessler (USA) were crowned champions with times of 8:17:33 and 9:08:46 respectively.
Britain's Tom Lowe came fifth in the men's race (8:31:56), while Dan Halksworth came sixth (8:41:49) and Philip Graves came eighth (8:52:34). No British women finished in the top ten.
