Iron Woman!!!

Last weekend Darren and I were pretty busy. First we went over to the island to visit his mom and Polo & Kelly and their crew. Here are 2 of their little sweeties, Miranda & Julianna!

Here's the obligatory ferry shot. The weather was awesome!!

Then we headed up to Penticton, with a stopover in Princeton to visit his Dad & Carol, to see Taralyn compete in the Iron Man Triathlon. Did I mention that Taralyn must be crazy???


If you look really close you can see her in the middle near the top with a sexy pink swim cap on!


We posted up a bunch of signs with words of encouragement for her along the bike route. It was really cool to be up there cheering her on....even if she is mentally deranged!

I think she especially appreciated it at the Yellow Lake summit after about a 5km uphill climb on the bike in 35 degree heat.

She finished the triathlon in 12 hours, 48 minutes and 35 seconds, which was awesome especially for her first time!!!

You can see her results by cutting and pasting this link into your browser:

This is near the beginning of the marathon run, which is 26.2 miles.....after she had already swam 2.4 miles and biked 112 miles. She is pointing at me yelling "you're signing up for this with me next year right?" YA RIGHT!!!


Here she is at the finish line, where she was pretty sure she never wanted to do this ever again!


Yay! Finally it's all over! Time for some carbs and some SLEEP!!!


On the way home Darren and I stopped in Keremeos to buy some fruit & veggies and if you spent more than $20.00 you received a free zucchini so of course Darren picked out the biggest one he could find, which is funny because he's not really a big fan of zucchini.

So if you have any good zucchini recipes let me know because it looks like we will be eating it everyday for the next week or so. Tonight I made breaded zucchini sticks with lemon mayo (thanks Sarah, you're right the mayo is very yummy!)
