We completed our 4th (out of 5) triathlon over the weekend at Lake Blackshear in Cordele, GA. We met our friends the Somersets there, and rented neighboring cottages for the weekend. We were all excited about the race until we saw a sign near the swim which read, "Beware of Alligators." It seemed to work for Steve, as he suddenly turned into Michael Phelps for the swim portion. We don't have any race pictures because Josh was nice enough to watch all 5 kids (under 6 years of age) by himself!! He had his hands full... Thanks Josh!
This was a pretty big race for a sprint, with more than 300 people. We all had a great race. Who says you can't buy speed? Ann's new tri bike seemed to improve her bike as she finished 3rd overall for the women, and more importantly, 24 seconds in front of Steve. This was just Wendy's second triathlon and she had a great showing. We are trying to talk Josh into participating next year.
Jackson seems shocked at Ann's award...
After the race, Steve and Josh went golfing, and Ann and Wendy hung out at the pool with the kids. The kids had a blast swimming around. As usual, the Schwartz kids were on volume 10, and the other guests quickly cleared out and we had the pool all to ourselves.
Jackson and Naomi are playing some sort of river dolphin game in the hut tub. Following the swim, Steve calles from the 15th hole after hitting 2 straight balls into the water. He asked to be picked up because he was too exhausted to finish. He took a DNF on his quad-athlon as he did not complete the golfing portion. After a brief rest, we headed to friends of the Somerset's lakehouse. The kids had a great time... the highlight was going out on a "midnight" boat ride.
