I was thrilled and excited to be asked by Triathlon Lab to do an athlete portrait photo shoot of triathlon's greatest triathletes---Chris "Macca" McCormack. Macca was the 2007 and 2010 Kona Ironman World Champion and is one of triathlon's fiercest competitors. Hailing from Australia, he's also one of THE nicest athletes who loves chatting with the fans and signing books and cereal boxes. (Macca is the only non-US Citizen to ever grace the cover of Wheaties Cereal Box.)
