We Interrupt This Pink Saturday

This Pink Saturday post is interrupted for a report from Clearwater Beach.............The winner of this mornings biathlon in her age group is (drumroll please) my darling daughter, Lucy!
The format was a two mile run, third mile swim, then another two mile run. Here we go!

Coming in from the first running leg, she has to go take off her shoes and put on cap and goggles.

Running into the 71 degree Gulf of Mexico. Brrrrrrr! (Afterwards she told me it felt good)

Crossing the finish line. Go girl!

Mom and daughter admiring the winner's plaque. Yeah Lucy!

There's a half Ironman World Championship here next weekend so the man who won this weekends race was from Finland training for the Ironman.

Thanks for your visits. I'm sorry I've taken so long to come by here. Life has been C-R-A-Z-Y lately, but slowly I'm beginning to catch up.

Hugs!

I LOVE your little red wagon filled with pumpkins! I recently found one at a g.sale and also filled it with pumpkins---it's on my front porch. I've used it as a backdrop in a couple of my recent posts! Great minds at work here ;)............
Hope you had a great PSat. dana; November 1, 2008 at 11:55 PM
