Nice tri

Here are some of the pictures from the Salem Triathlon taken by Andy.

This makeshift tent kept us mostly dry and somewhat warm.  Ruby was not very happy.  Alli wore the Hammer Gel bag as a poncho.  They should have paid us for the excellent advertising.

The start of the race is pretty spectacular.  The athletes have to battle it out in the freezing cold water.

Adam is tough... he did the whole tri... and he can make a Zoolander face.  Jeff had to help Betsy into her wet suit... they aren't really made for pregnant ladies.  Chris photographed the event... and was caught smiling in this picture... very rare.

tri winner

This is the guy who won it all... and he won by a lot.

Here I am coming in for a strong finish.  Joyce was right behind me.  Jen also did the whole tri (and Joyce ran to the finish line again with Jen).

Just plain awesome... except my hair.

I'm looking forward to July 10. It will be a fun girls night out on the town...on the roads. :)

I'm glad we did this race last year when the weather was great! I would have been totally disappointed. You guys are troopers! And you look hot!
