Much speculation on whether this was a large shark leaping out of the water at Newcastle beach on the weekend:
I was actually in the water that day, about 100 metres away while all these super-fit people were competing for Ironman/woman. The waves were stunning, so I stayed in for quite a while. Too big for a dolphin, some suggest it was a pilot whale, others a shark. Mind you, it appeared a few days after the surfer was chomped down at Redhead beach, just south of here.

We must start our own Stalinist shark-baiting competition for workers and peasants of “Steel”, and vigorously refute these petty bourgeois Thatcherite “Iron” men and ladies.
(The bike leg shall be replaced with a T55 tank race; Minsk to Marseilles.)

Actually, you could argue that the Ironman is actually a camouflaged development of the Man of Steel.
