What a lovely weekend! Perfect temps and conditions for a race. Low-key event offering a sprint as well as an Olympic distance. Not my first trip to this race (or my last).... Below are Paul and I, putting our bikes together before heading to transition.
Here is Gary, before the race... and, Miss Rachel afterwards -- she took 2nd in her Age Group! Yeah, it hurts, but it's worth it... look at that SMILE??!
Our handsome buddies from SAN DIEGO made the trip. This event is a nice short trip for LA or SD athletes.
And, the highlight of the weekend was being part of SUMMER BONDs first TRIATHLON! She conquered her fears of the water and swam/biked and ran to complete her first official triathlon. What's next for this new racer...? Ironman?.... Danskin? ... ; ) You can see how happy Brian was to congratulate her... he even scheduled massages later the same day. Nice touch.
Paul, Sylvia and little Lucas were there to cheer us all on.
Congratulations to all finishers! Especially, our newbie, SUMMER!
