Under a downpour of rain, Davide Giardini emerges from Kaneohe Bay after completing the 500-meter swim portion of the 2011 Sprint Triathlon outside Hangar 101 on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, May 22, 2011. Giardini, from Desenzano, Italy, said the first half of the swim was easy since the water was calm, but when the wind picked up and the rain began falling, the last half became much harder. He went on to win the race in 54:46.
