tall texan: part deux

What do these things have in common:

triathletes, men in Texas flag t-shirts, guns, pink snorkels, strippers

They can all be found at the Tall Texan triathlon 70.3! 

We had so much fun at last year's race, we made the trek back to Boerne, Texas for another exciting weekend of swimming, biking, running and antique shopping. The only difference between this year and last was that Tate was on the "disabled list" so he couldn't run and the man shooting the "start gun" left his Texas flag t-shirt at home. Double bummer.

thousands dozens of triathletes at the swim start waiting for the fog to clear

typical. Tate talking strategy and Dad focusing

and they're off

luckily, pink snorkel made another appearance 

 

well, that's always a comforting sight

trying to resist those {wetsuit} strippers 

ladies- no means no.

"kinda dizzy" while running to the transition area

wild bill out and about

starting the 56-mile bike. it was a rough ride from what I heard 

consisting of cattle guards, lost water bottles and "loose livestock."

touching sight: the tri dualthete cheering on triathletes
