The night before the triathlon, we teamed up at Christof & Imola's for a cozy night with good company & good food.
For the dinner (pasta & chicken salad)...
...Greg & Wendy also joined us.

Mother Nature, strechting and yawning
Arriving in Racho Seco Park, 1/2 hour south of Sacramento.

Dressed for success!
Christof @ 2:38:47 - wow!!
me @ 2:42:41 - (missed a $#%&!% turnaround!)
Imola @ 2:53:14 - strong as ever
Martina @ 2:59:18 - (after swimming a little bit too far...)
Four quite happy dudes.
A great day; the swim was warm, the ride was flat, the run was all dirt road.

I ran into Elemer, wearing a "En halv maraton" shirt ("A half marathon, Gothenburg, Sweden)...small world!
Packing up and heading home - after another swim and some time on the beach.
Back in Walnut Creek, some still seem a bit restless...
A fabulous meal...topping off a great day!
Oh yeah. Steak. Potatoes. Corn. Yum.
Oops....fruits & ice cream. Oohh, delicious!
They don't make days like this anymore.
The Triathletes.
