Santa Cruz Sentinel Triathlon
Sep 26th, 2004 (Sun)
All the young women lined up for the start of the 2004 Santa Cruz Sentinel Triathlon.
Watching Lisa and Sharon race in the annual Santa Cruz Sentinel olympic-distance triathlon. The weather was great; the water just a bit cold. I think this was Sharon’s 3rd time doing the race. They both did great!
My own season being over, I went up to cheer Lisa and Sharon on in the Santa Cruz Sentinel Triathlon (olympic distance). Here's Sharon after testing out the water. "My face was really cold!" she reported.
All the young women all lined up. You can see Lisa here in the front row, 7th from the left, with her arms crossed.
The start was semi-chaotic! First the waves had to be staggered by 10 minutes instead of 5 minutes because "there are only 40 lifegards, and that is not going to be enough" (such confidence-inspiring!) Then the start gun malfunctioned, so all of a sudden someone just yelled out "go go go go go go!" (The gun finally went off as some of the women were already in the water...)
Due to the large number of photos, only the first 6 are shown. View photo album or slideshow.
