Sunriver

We headed to Sunriver for the Pacific Crest Race weekend. It was warm that weekend in Sunriver. Which was a nice treat given the weather we've had in Portland lately. David was doing the 1/2 ironman race and Olivia was doing the kids triathlon (with 600 other children). There are a ton of different races that weekend so we also were able to watch Sonia do her first duathlon on Sunday. Here are some photos from the weekend.

The Kids Triathlon was fun to watch. Here is the bike transition.


There were 77, 7-8 year olds that completed the race. They came in two's; first running through the pools and then curving around the corner to the bike transition. Here comes Olivia...it looked like she was having so much fun.


Locating her bike and following the signs to the course.


My favorite part was when Olivia rode by us she had to give a shout out to her sister. She cracks me up!


Finish line...the kids came running in to the village much like the adults during their races the rest of the weekend and are presented with a medal. Olivia was so proud of her medal.


I don't have any pictures of David racing. I forgot to bring my camera to the finish line...oops! However, I feel it's important to note that this was his 12th 1/2 ironman. I love his dedication to finishing his goal (completing all the North American Ironman races by the time he is 40)...he'll be doing his 5th Ironman this winter.

We had some friends over the evening after his race.


David helping Mia and trying to rest.




Sonia getting ready for her race on Sunday.


After we saw Sonia off. Here's David taking the kids to watch the swim portion of the Olympic Triathlon.


Beautiful swim start...


We were able to catch Sonia on the run...she looked strong.
