Ethel through the finish !

We completed the Victoria triathlon on July 31st. It was Ethel's first -
and you can tell by her expression of joy, that although ardulous it was a great accomplishment!

This was an olympic distance triathlon (S 1.5k, B 44k R 10k) and is one of the oldest of such events in North America.


Below shows Ethel coming out of the water having survived the swim
and our 'finisher's photo' after.

The latter two photos were taken by daughter Lizzy, our 'race photographer' and sometime triathlete herself !




Out of the water - dance of joy !







Finishers !


Canon PowerShot S50
1/200s f/2.8 at 7.1mm full exif

Way to go you two! What a feat. Boy, I'm impressed.
And I'm also impressed with this PAD shot. You did quite well in capturing her joy!

It is a great like when you reach the finish line and looking back it does not seem that it had been that srenious, but of course when you start out it looks like a hard run.

Congrats you guys. Ethel looked joyous there. No sign of a relief on her face, LOL!!
