Yes, it’s an easy shot, the Ironman World Championship finish line at Kona. The later afternoon sun shines on their faces. The men give their best finishing gestures and smiles and leaps in ecstatic celebration and hands held high in triumph or understated workmanlike quiet pride. The pros rarely show the extremes of emotion, but underneath the mask there are subtle clues about their character and how the day had gone. Look closely, read them. There are lessons about the human spirit to be learned.
