Vicky Van Der Merwe, above, is back in Cape Town and ready to contest the 2009 African Triathlon Union Championships in Durban this weekend. She's moved recently to the Australian Gold Coast, where she's burning up the miles in the company of some of the top triathletes as she continues to work towards the next Olympic games. Following the weekend event, she jets off to Spain for the next leg of the World Series, before returning to her schedule in Brisbane. I spent an hour with Vicky in Tableview today, shooting images, and interviewing her about her crazy schedule. An awesome athlete, and a smiling, positive person that just bubbles with energy and enthusiasm..we look forward to tracking her progress to the Olympics..below, a natural in front of the camera! -Images by jeff Ayliffe
