Some favorite 2012 portraits

Some of Timothy Carlson's favorite casual shots and formal portraits of triathlon's passionate stars and age groupers taken from Colorado to Hawaii during the 2012 season.

Crossing paths with Nicole Duke

Nicole Duke is currently racing racing in Europe but this mom of two is clearly not only defined by racing. She will return back to the USA on New Year's Eve, but we had a chat with her while still in Europe.

Best of 2012 – the Finish

From Austin to San Diego, Abu Dhabi to Kona, all triathletes were on a mission to achieve a personal best, a world championship, and, above all, to simply finish. Photo gallery by Timothy Carlson.

Following up with Balázs Csőke

We chatted with Balázs Csőke in early 2011 and quite a bit has changed for this Pro from Hungary. For one he is now an Ironman champion plus he recently moved his place of residence from Switzerland to the USA.

The best of We Noticed 2012

Our readers submitted lots of photos to our We Noticed Tumblr sub site and today we present our favorite We Noticed images of 2012.

An American in Paris

Ray Maker is known to most of us as the electronics guru DC Rainmaker and he is now residing in Paris. We checked in with him to see what he is up to.

The fast nomad known as Sesel

British age grouper Nick Baldwin is known as Sesel in will compete as a Pro next year. The nomadic Baldwin spent time in North America, the UK and the Seychelles and 2013 is not looking to be very different.

Best of 2012 – the Run

What We Have Noticed: Timex, Soma…

This week we noticed a Timex Originals watch, the Soma water filter, an Eleven Gear jersey, a Monster headphone, a Threadless t-shirt and a delicious chocolate delight from Lindt.

Up close with Jimmy Johnsen

Danish Pro Jimmy Johnsen has spent quite a bit of time Down Under the last few years, and now with a win at Ironman Western Australia and a bride-to-be from that part of the world - this is not going to change anytime soon.

Best of 2012 – the Bike

Andrew Starykowicz smashed the Ironman-distance bike record and Sebastian Kienle is the new überbiker. Good times were had on two wheels. Photo Gallery by Timothy Carlson.
