The long line up down Mount Pain led by Leah Glass

 Hold on fellas you've only just past the half way point...I guess that is reason to celebrate! (Painathlon male champion Cameron Muir and Chris Harris)

 On the final stretch of the Bridges Michael Parrotte digs deep in front of Norm Black and Cade Zulsdorf

 Jake Hannah takes in the sights descending from the summit of The Truth

Female Painathlon Champ Kerrie pounding the Zig Zag, totally justifying the 5 hour road closure!!

 Stephen Hoskins looking lost but descending to the Quadcruncher creek crossing

 Michael Parrotte and Norm Black ascend the Quadcruncher

 Hmmmmm.....painnn!                                                                            A look that just about sums this event up (David Hind - 3rd place)

 Cameron Muir having just punched off Jacobs takes off for the finish line in lead position!

 The pain is so nearly over, final metres before crossing the line.
