Which one tells the story best?
Is it the epic landscape of Chwarel Dinorwig, the emotion of the athlete, the drama of black & white, or the realism of colour?

3am starts aren't everyone's idea of fun, but some days make it all worthwhile.
From the first light of the morning through to after 9pm, it was a pleasure to be out covering the Slateman Triathlon organised by Always Aim High Events and capturing the incredible efforts of every athlete taking on this iconic event.

One of the highlights came when we headed into Dinorwig Quarry to find the Slateman Ultra competitors deep into their challenge. After a bit of walking, we were rewarded with this photo, a moment that perfectly sums up the determination, grit and stunning scenery that make the Slateman so special.

A long day, tired legs, and a full memory card, but absolutely worth it.

Nid yw codi am 3 y bore yn syniad pawb o hwyl, ond i ni, maeโ€™n rhan oโ€™r fraint o gael bod yn ran o benwythnos y Slateman gan Always Aim High Events

O'r golau cyntaf y wawr hyd at y cystadleuwyr olaf yn croesiโ€™r llinell ar รดl 9yh, 'roedd yn ddiwrnod hir ond hynod werth chweil yn dal y penderfyniad, y dyfalbarhad aโ€™r eiliadau bythgofiadwy syโ€™n gwneud y Slateman mor arbennig.

Daeth un o uchafbwyntiauโ€™r diwrnod pan aethom i Chwarel Dinorwig i dynnu lluniau dreathletwyr Y Slateman Ultra. Ar รดl ychydig o grwydro, daethom ar ei traws yn brwydro eu ffordd drwy un o leoliadau mwyaf trawiadol Cymru, ac fe arweiniodd hynny at y llun hwn gan y f'anwylyd a ffotograffydd #1 SportpicturesCymru Wendy James
Mae eiliadau fel hyn yn gwneud pob cloc larwm cynnar yn werth chweil.
Llongyfarchiadau i bob athletwr a gymerodd yr her y penwythnos hwn.

Pob lwc i bawb sy'n cystadlu yng nghystadlaethau'r Slateman heddiw ๐Ÿ™Œ

Dyma un o'r triathlonau mwyaf enwog ac eiconig yng Nghymru, sy'n cael ei gynnal yn Llanberis yn Eryri. Cafodd ei lansio yn 2011, gan drefnwyr "Camu i'r Copa", a dechreuodd gyda tua 400 o gystadleuwyr. Mae'r enw "Slateman" - "dyn llechi" yn dod o hanes chwarelyddol yr ardal, a chwrs y ras yn mynd drwy hen chwraeli llechi Dinorwig uwchben Llanberis. Mae'r digwyddiad yn cynnwys; nofio yn Llyn Padarn, beicio dros fwlch Llanberis a ffyrdd mynyddig Eryri, a rhedeg garw trwy'r chwareli a llwybrau mynydd.

Good luck to everyone competing in today's Slateman competitions ๐Ÿ™Œ

This is one of the most famous and iconic triathlons in Wales, which is held in Llanberis in Snowdonia. It was launched in 2011, by the organizers of "Camu iโ€™r Copa", and started with around 400 competitors. The name "Slateman" - "dyn llechi" comes from the quarrying history of the area, and the course of the race goes through the old Dinorwig slate quarry above Llanberis. The event includes; swimming in Llyn Padarn, cycling over the Llanberis pass and the mountain roads of Snowdonia, and rough running through the quarries and mountain paths.
