Tinsel Triathlon

We volunteered at the 25th Tinsel Triathlon in Hemet.  There were over 1000 participants and the start of the run is in the far left of the picture above the bikes. a little  difficult to see.  The 5 k run, 12 mile bike and 150 meter swim was centered around the West Valley High School

The three top finishers are in the water. The swimmer entered at the far left in the picture swam to the end, did the turn and swam diagonally across the pool and then down to finish..  This was a save environment for those that didn't do well swimming.  I caught several "walking and resting" at the end of the pool.  The final finisher had a person swimming next to him with a life belt.  He had a support group waiting for him.  I think they were more excited than the person that won  , just because he finished.   I can relate to that.   There were several amputees and 3 in wheel chairs that finished  well in the center of the pack.  It was very moving to see the excitement.

Each participant received a metal and T-shirt.  We got a T-shirt just for volunteering..much easier

Thanksgiving dinner, Golden Village Palms,2009

Thanksgiving at the park......They provided the turkey and we pot-lucked the remainder.  The couples at our table were from British Columbia as is about 50% of the population living here.

I took two dozen deviled eggs and they were gone by the time I set the plated on the table.  There was one turkey for two tables of eight.  And lots of other good food.

Happy Birthday to ME!!

I had a great Birthday.... a Pedicure at the local beauty college. This lady and her mother were attending school together. She wanted a change from working at an insurance co. and her mother lost her job.

The equipment or lack of  leaves a little to be desired but the price was right.

We had dinner at "POLLY'S PIES'.  The restaurant is known for their cinnamon rolls, pies and home made bread.  The hot turkey meal was wonderful, and the coconut pie was pretty good too.

We took Logan to the new doggie park that opened Dec 1.  Logan was thrilled  to roll in the grass.  The RV resort has gravel and asphalt. 

The other dog there was also from the RV resort.  They are from Victoria Island and her dog is a Australian cattle dog.  Killie liked to play with a Frisbee.  He did not like Logan as Logan would steal the Frisbee.
