Olivier Ervyn, a Belgian who creates documentary photography, captured some great images at the 2013 Faros Maratón in Croatia.

Alexander Studzinski, winner of the 16 km marathon swim, was fed by his fiancée Beatrix Eisel.

Studzinski recalls this year’s race under near perfect conditions, “It was a nice race. We enjoyed great weather. And I have the best coach in the world…my fiancée Beatrix.”
