For the 11th year in a row, Ironman Florida brings the race back to the warm Gulf waters of Panama City Beach. Last year’s event was a blast with many walking (or limping) away with personal best records and Bella Bayliss walking away with the trophy. This year’s event will start out in the Gulf behind Boardwalk Beach Resort and the final runners at the end of the race will finish their day at Spinnaker Beach club.
Read on for all the details.

Last year we were in attendance and took tons of great shots. This year, our attendance will be limited as I have some plans with my family, but I will be there for the start of the swim and transition from swim to bike, shooting timelapse. I love timelapse.
Here is our recap from last year: http://pcbdaily.com/video/ironman-florida-pictures-and-timelapse-video
From IronmanFlorida.com:

Panama City Beach Florida, with its vast and expansive beaches and emerald waters off the Gulf of Mexico, is a premium vacation spot for those seeking the warmth and sunshine of a tropical climate. This weekend, though, athletes will add a unique way to experience this paradise – by swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and running 26 miles.
On Saturday, the 11th edition of the Ford Ironman Florida will see over 2,200 participants start the race on a course that has “Personal Best” or “Personal Record” written all over it. With it’s two-looped swim out of the way, competitors head out on the single loop bike and double looped run courses that are both pancake flat and fast.
It will be no vacation here for those in the professional race. Five-time Ford Ironman Florida champion, Bella Bayliss (left), is returning to defend her title and will, without a doubt, be favored to win. With eleven Ironman championships on her resume, who can argue? Bayliss has five wins in Florida in eight attempts. She knows this course and what it takes to win here.
Nina Kraft and Heather Gollnick both possess multiple Ironman titles and will present Bayliss with a challenge on Saturday.
Kraft won Ford Ironman Florida in 2007. The 40-year-old also has two wins in stand-alone marathons this year. She ran in the 2:45 range for both of them and arrives in Panama City Beach fit. If she’s on her game, Kraft could make Bayliss’s attempt to win her sixth Ironman Florida title a bit of a challenge.
