Kip..just before she huli'd...on purpose of course..I recall her boyfriend had a good chuckle over it..

Mike and I...little did he know at this point..I was going to lillydip the ENTIRE way - It was planned though..I was just getting dude ready for the race he had the next day

Everyone warming up for the mens and mixed race

I was streaching..I have no idea what Mike was doing?

Mike and Keri - I was suprised he was still smiling after paddling my ass 10k..

Standing around waiting for metals

The dudes lookin' supa-cool

Mike (aka: Chuck Norris) - Dude was rattled when he didn't get his metal - I'm suprised dude didn't bust out his martial art skills on the coordinator as the chief export of Chuck Norris is Pain. (http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/)
