The Red Man
I make no excuses for how odd this picture is. That’s a real human being under there, he was parading around Wimbleball Reservoir during the 70.3 Ironman competition. Why?

Today’s image kicks off the month with an action shot. This stuntman was performing all sorts of tricks and jumps…
