St. Croix Valley Oly Tri Race Pics

The race photos are up from the last Oly of the season a few weeks back: the St. Croix Valley Triathlon in Hudson WI. Here’s some of us at work:


Pre-race: me with 3 chins in transition


Putting sunscreen on Pharmie with my tongue hanging out
(like a creep)


Pharmie turning the legs of her wetsuit “right side out”


Jen and her hubby listening to the pre-race meeting


Suzie, who I met at the first “Splash and Dash”


Males starting...


...I started WAY to the left for some “clean water”


Females starting: Pharmie’s in the yellow swim cap


Exiting the water, hitting my watch




Pharmie exiting the water, looking at her watch




Mark, the race director, zipping around in his golf cart


Pharmie on the run (headed to a 10:02 Oly PR!)


Me with my stopwatch (my prize for 2nd in my AG)

I like to go through the race photos to find some “fun” ones. Well, I have 2 more for you. First, here’s the buff tattooed guy that Sarah E (CVA Tri Club member who came out to cheer) and I had a crush on:



And finally, here’s one that the race photographer MAYBE should have edited out. I did not alter this image in any way. This is how it appeared. It’s kinda arty, and kinda creepy. Maybe I should buy it:



Good times.
