Today's big race was a two man, two woman relay race. The men started it out and then they alternated between men and women. France won even though they incurred a 10 second penalty. The big news was Great Britain who came in second after being all but written off from this race. I walked down to the water to see the initial first team start. Then I made my way back up through the bike ride and was back at the apartment for the run that I could watch on the TV. the TV footage and commentators helped us follow along with the race. It was a bit surreal hearing cheers come from outside our window and then hear them again a few seconds later on the TV. It was a slight delay in the TV broadcast. When the race was completed there were dolphins who were swimming in the same spot as the swimmers had earlier. The helicopter got footage of them and we watched on TV and out the window. That was a really great way to wrap of the whole weekend
Bikes and gear have to make it out
One of the oldest contestants
Folks on the hill watching
835, 27 and 60 are my numbers
Woof a huge dog
Leslie is watching from here, third window from the right
Hurry up and wait
Stride with confidence
Waist deep they go
Non stop splashing
Get out of the way, here they come
Great Britain in the pack
Orange cones and a man pointing!
We have been walking past this corner for the entire last month
Spare wheels
We came down to ask questions and then headed back up for the next swim
Our apartment was in the best spot
Two laps of the bike and the run requires a lap counter
The pack got stretched out longer and longer with each successive team
This is the man's second swim, third swim of the race
The window is left in the shot to show how good a view we had
Some shots from the tv
This is our corner as the BBC showed it
The competition was fierce
The soldiers I saw earlier
France, Great Britain and Norway
The clean up begins as we take a walk
Dogs at the beach
A walk in the park
The end of a celebration
