This last Saturday morning, the city of Kings Mountain hired Steve and me to work at the triathlon in town. We were so excited all week, but we had no idea what we were getting into. Watching the triathletes, we had several "wow" moments (and several "man, I'm lazy" moments). The human body truly is fearfully and wonderfully made!
During the race, we rode in our car to follow the bikers and stopped at a few "trademark" places in town. Steve took all of the pictures, and I was his driver. Sounds easy, right? My arms and hands were so sore after clenching the wheel. On country roads with little visibility, bikers in front and behind and Steve standing out of the sunroof taking shots it was pretty intense! We went on the 30 mile bike trail in an automobile, but looked wearier than the triathletes. This was a different experience than the usual, and we 're ready to do it again!
His grimace could have been a reaction to the 75 degree water!
From what I've heard, the ride through the park is one of the biggest attractions for the triathletes (and I don't blame them. It's one of our favorite spots!)
I saw this lady several times cheer for her husband: so sweet! This is Steve and me in our golden years (except for maybe the swiming, biking and running).

I was at Over the Mountain and I was working so hard on the bike course that I did not notice the lovely scenery. Your pictures are wonderful!
I think I saw you out on the bike course...are you posting other pictures besides what's here?
