This weekend I ran in a triathlon in beautiful Luray, VA with my friends, Lauren and Kara. In celebration of current world events, my friends and I did the Olympic-distance tri. And, in celebration of not having enough time or motivation on our hands, we did a relay, each of us contributing just one leg of the journey. That actually ended up being very cool because I got to watch and enjoy the rest of the race. I did the run, and I'm pretty sure it was the fastest time I've ever gotten in a 10-K. Yay, me! (My motivation: I had to finish before a girl whose teammate had been trash-talking one of my teammates during the bike leg. Not cool, biker dude!)
I think we finished in about 3 hours. Action shots will be posted once they become available. The whole race was very scenic and beautiful, and only a little bit hot for my leg. (But not humid, which was a dream come true!) Humor me, while I share just a few examples of the scenic beauty. It makes my mountain/lake-loving heart smile.
This little boy was cheering for his daddy. He was definitely the biggest fan in attendance.
(I had to sneak in just one cool DC shot that I got when I went to see Superman at Screen on the Green for FHE. :o)

Abby, you are so cool! I LOVE the scenery of the east coast, it is so beautiful! Good job on the race!
BB, what was your 10-K time? Love the pics. XO
52:22. Granted, I've only run a few of these things, but I think it was faster than my next-best time by about a minute and a half.
