Photo: Michael Rauschendorfer | In this photograph entitled “Wall,” Michael Rauschendorfer captured two-time Olympic medalist Bevan Docherty walking through the aid station up the steep hill on Palani Road at kilometre 16 of the Ironman Hawaii run course. “This photo shows a moment that everybody fears and many have experienced in Ironman racing: hitting the wall,” the German photographer says.
