On the way up there we picked up aunt Lisa Lerwick in the Quad cities. It was great to see her again and catch up. Of course it would have been nice to "catch up" with her during the race.
The house we rented was set back in the trees a little bit and it accommodated our two families (+ aunt Lisa) perfectly. The kids loved spying on the birds that would come in to feed on bird feeders. Galena in general was gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a get-away weekend. Of course "scenic" usually means hilly - which added another dimension to the race. The 59 deg lake temperature was another "eye opener" to say the least. We really appreciated out wet-suits this year.
The other racers (Rob, Lisa, Luke, Darren) all had previous times at Galena to beat. This being Don's 1st one there, he can honestly say it was his best Galena Triathlon time ever!

Sunday was Rob's b-day and he miraculously had enough lung left to blow out some candles.
Don refueling - the best part of the race :)

awesome, well done Don! This is another goal I need to set for myself. It has been said, if you can do one triathalon a year then you're a true athelete.
Way to go Don! Looks like a great time was had by all.
Great job! Makes me want to get movin' again--soon! Not for a "tri" though! Love the pictures--on both sites.
