The results are in: Nate got 2nd in his division, 5th over all; I got 3rd in my division, and really, I was just happy to have finished!!
Waiting for the blow horn...
It was a pretty brutal race - 4 miles following a triangular course straight out in the ocean. To give you a feel for what it was like, it was like doing an isometric squat on a balance board for an hour while doing triceps pulldowns as fast and as hard as you can. But we had great conditions, there was a good vibe in the water, and the best part of it all was a complimentary massage afterward. The girls had a great time playing on a large party disc with other kids. And we all came home bearing signs of time in the sun.
And for some wild reason, we are doing another 4 mile race in Waikiki this coming weekend....
Here's a video of the start of the race.
I was really proud of Nate. He was leading the pack for almost the whole race. Here's Nate's finish (sorry it's sideways!) Nate is the further one behind the first guy. Look how neck-to-neck these guys are! The guy that was a step ahead of him happened to be in a different division, so they both got 2nd anyway, and had a good laugh about it.
