Triathlon Saturday



BIKING:
We've been wanting to do some biking all summer and have managed only one outing so when we heard that the forecast for the weekend was going to be decent (20% change of rain - mostly cloudy) we planned a trip to the Herbert Glacier.

RUNNING (a few feet but mostly walking):
And then we realized that this was going to be our opportunity to do our COASST dead-seabird survey and since the trailhead is right across the street from the Herbert Glacier trailhead, we thought we better try to get that in too.

SWIMMING:
A few seconds of treading water in the hot tub seemed to take all the extra energy I had left over.

Herbert Glacier with Fall Colors:


Most of the pathway is like this - nice and smooth. There is some elevation gain on the way in which makes that way out a breeze!


August Beach Survey:

It really wasn't this dark! We changed from our biking shorts and had a great bike in to the beach and then ran-I-mean-walked the beach. It was too warm for a jacket until we got around to the far side and then the breeze picked up.

We had a nice lunch (much needed after the bike ride) and watch a pod of whales across the channel.


and a soak in the hot tub to complete the swimming portion...ahhh!
