Triathlon Continued

After riding 13.8 miles Sylvia navigates the transition area before starting the 3 mile run. (The swim was 500 meters).

No idea why a man would have a Barbie™ in his pocket, unless he knew I was there looking for weirdness. So...thanks?

While at least three women are wasting time high-fiving spectators, Sylvia pulls around the pack and pours it on.
She passed them all and got to "break" the tape.
(It's actually a heavy vinyl banner that race crew members raise again and again when there's a break in traffic).

It was great that some family members attended this event--it meant a lot to Sylvia.
We're all very proud of her!

Jack's Generic Triathlon

Sylvia made me get up after only an hour or two of sleep to watch her compete again.
Sunday morning's event was at the Texas Ski Ranch in New Braunfels, as usual.



Distances were greater than the other two I've attended, but thanfully it was cloudy and reasonably cool this time. I didn't need a hat or a sweat-towel at all, but I was ready just in case.

Eye Of The Tiger!

I went with higher iso than usual due to the early hour and overcast skies.
I wanted to use very fast shutter speeds, so went with aperture-priority mode (wide open) and iso400-800.
Worked well, and there was no noise in the results.

As with any event, I can't resist shots like this.

Another reminder of the drought.


Stay tuned for more
