another race for your viewing pleasure

 this summer wasn't filled with as many races as last year since m is training for another ironman towards the end of the year. (which is coming up before we know it!) here are a few pics from the race in melbourne, known as the space coast race.  wondering if the shutting down of the space shuttle program will have any effect upon the name next year...

this part of the race is always so exciting with all the athletes prepping their gear.  the girl in the photo took first place in the women's race.

i love this picture.  worked out perfectly of just m standing in front of the ocean pondering the race.


this is why i love the start of the races.  brutal to get up at 4:30 am, but so worth it.
getting ready...
and they're off!
he ended up finishing 1st in his age group.  what a champ!
we noticed how tall these dudes were because they are as tall as m is even though he is on the highest block. especially the guy on the right.  he's a giant!
only the people who placed got these bad boys.

getting some good grub after the race.


onion ring eyeballs
is that neil armstrong at the running store? is he going to do the tri in that suit?

always sleeping on the ride home.
