Exclusive Photos: Batista’s New Look at Triathlon in Miami

April 4, 2012

Thanks to Alex Nickodem for sending this in:

I was in Miami this past weekend for a wedding, the South Beach Triathlon, and of course, Wrestlemania. I spotted former WWE star Batista in the transition area at about 5:30 AM and said hello and good luck. He was noticeably leaner than his WWE days (but still a beast) and was sporting a crazy, braided mohawk. Batista did not do the entire triathlon but completed the 19 mile bike portion on a relay team. Most of the triathletes had no idea who he was. After the race, I snapped some photos of him during the post-race ceremonies.

Be sure to scroll through all the pages to view the entire gallery.

Also, here are his team's results for the race: http://results.active.com/pages/oneResult.jsp?pID=125073290&rsID=123917
