2012 Ultraman Day 2
The second day of the Ultraman World Championships means endless hours in the saddle with that 171.4 mile bike segment, but of course it all takes place in a very stunning surrounding.

An early morning start in slightly cooler temperatures.
Alexandre Ribeiro led after day 1 and quickly took charge on day 2.
Miro Kregar was the toughest challenger for the 5-time champion Ribeiro.
The scenery is truly stunning here.
Defending champion Amber Monforte pulled into the lead on day 2 with an excellent effort on the bike.
It isn't just about competition here.
What is your excuse?
Nino Cokan had a very solid day 2.
Another smile for the paparazzi.
Kathy Winkler had the lead after day one, but gave up quite a bit of time to Amber Monforte on the second day.
The Big Island is certainly not very flat.
Alexandre Ribeiro 7:36:55 and very much took control of the event.
Alone with your thoughts.

Miro Kregar rode a 7:51:09 on day 2.
A well deserved massage after a long day.
The days are certainly long for the crews and it helps to have a positive attitude.
The Red Road section is breathtaking.
Josef Ajram was in 4th place after day two but looked glad that this day was over.
Ice Ice Baby.
