The Gina-train...yep that's my head right behind her. The odds of this happening in a mass swim start is slim to none. Yep, still fog coming off the lake. That'd be because the water is warmer than the 40 degree air!!!:

And me yelling "GREAT SWIM" at her and seeing if she wanted to go for another 1.2 mile lap?!?!? If you look over my right shoulder, you'll see the first turn buoy WAY WAY out there. That's about 1/4 way through the course. I did the course twice.

My imitation of the Monster from Boggie Creek. HEY, IT WAS REALLY REALLY COLD! (Actually, this one goes between the first two in sequence).

Gina flyin' down the mountain on her bike. She's lookin' all warm and toasty:

Me, too....only a few hours later!

Gina usually HATES pictures of her running, but she agreed to let me post this one. The move and the trade show are causing enough stress. I wasn't going to include them without permission!

Me starting the first lap of the run. Whew, I'm glad to be off that stinkin' bike. I have to run HOW FAR?!?!?

Whew, starting the second lap. There is NEVER a reason to look this happy with 13 MORE miles staring you in the face!

And, me handing my heart rate monitor to Gina. I have NO idea what she is so happy about! I was starting to HURT at this point. She had been done for HOURS!

And finally, Me heading off into the sunset.

Put in that sequence, that doesn't seem so long now...
