These pics & vids date back to November & December 2007 & January 2008 (thus the “retro” tag), but it may give you a sense of what we’ve been up to…
These pics are from my 1st triathlon on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay on Nov. 11, 2007. Unfortunately, due to the oil spill in the bay, it became a duathlon. This was dissappointing, obviously because it was nasty for the bay & things that live there, but personally because swimming is my “strong suit” in tri. Not that I’m a amazing swimmer, but most triathletes come from a running or cycling background & many hate/dread the swim portion, whereas I love to swim. Also, unfortunately, it means that you don’t get to see any pics of me charging out of the water whilst peeling off my wetsuit (a perfect Ursula Andress/Daniel Craig moment lost!).
This link is to D.’s youtube vid of his marathon run (CIM or California Int’l Marathon — from Folsom to Sacramento) on Dec. 2, 2007 (note the wild turkey running through downtown Fair Oaks — and @ a faster pace than D.):
This vid is from a Jan. 2008 weekend in Truckee.
D. had posted it on youtube & then the Reno/Tahoe visitors center found it & wanted to post it on their site.
