Christa’s Favorite Ironman Outfit

Christa Hazel, who photographed Ironman Coeur d'Alene for Huckleberries Online, e-mailed that this was her favorite uniform worn by the 2800-plus Ironman athletes this year. More Christa photos here.

DFO: I did one double take during my Ironman Coeur d'Alene watching this year. At the northwest corner of the Coeur d'Alene Resort golf course, I saw a woman who was 8-plus months pregnant, wearing a bikini top and a skirt below her protruding stomach. She had a monster set of wings tattooed on her upper back. And was pushing a baby carriage. Surprisingly, she almost pulled off the look. Obviously, she didn't care what others thought.

Question: Did you see any strange sights at Ironman?
