Amelia Island Race

We are very lucky to have a great group of friends.  We are even more lucky that one of these friends has a beach house in Amelia Island.  This year, the group (sans Kelly and I) decided to participate in the sprint triathlon.  So we arrived Friday, the race was Saturday morning, and then we spent the rest of the time relaxing and enjoying beach life. 


You have no idea how difficult it is to wrangle 9 people together for a group picture before 7 AM!  The athletes are Beau, Kriya, Tigger, Mandy, Mandy's cousin, Jenny, Chris, Ash, and Jay.

Jay had just finished his swim and was headed to the transition area.

Tigger and Jay headed out for the bike portion of the race.

The red rocket (Chris) finishing up his swim.

Way to go Kriya, you are number one!!!

Beau finishing up the bike portion.  Look at those crazy wheels!

Jay finishing strong.

Mandy and Tigger running in together.

Beau finished (well before everyone else) and then headed back out to run with Kriya.  What a sweet guy!

Ash did the same. Once he finished he went back to spend some quality time with Jenny.

Kriya and Mandy - Looking better than me that morning and I didn't even race!

One of the few pictures I got with Jay.  I may not have participated in the swim, bike, and run but I was hustling around trying to get pictures.

Way to go girls!

Surprisingly it was even harder to get everyone together for an after race picture.  It's like herding cats!

The view from the beach house.

Blue skies and gorgeous water

Beau prepared a low country boil.  It was fabulous!

This picture shows one of the beloved beach games that we play each year.  It doesn't really have a name but the entire point of the game is to get your golf balls into the hole on the other team's side.  Very simple and entertains us for hours on end.
