TRIATHLON

El pasado fin de semana largo -pues tuvimos el lunes libre, cuando se conmemora a todos los que murieron sirviendo a esta nacion, llamado "Memorial Day"- fuimos al norte, donde viven los padres de Nuri. Llegamos el viernes a eso de las 11:00 pm y al dia siguiente temprano Nuri y su hermano Daniel participaron en una competencia de triatlon, comenzando con natacion, que fue reemplazada con canoas o kayaks, en la que participaron Daniel y una amiga suya llamada July Ann. Las fotos son del punto de partida y de los dos remando.

Last Memorial Day weekend we went up North, to Nuri's parents. We arrived on Friday, around 11:00 pm and next day starting early, Nuri and his brother Daniel took part of a triathlon, which instead of the regular swimming, started with canoes/kayaks. Daniel and a friend of his named July Ann started the competence, and below you may find pictures of the starting point and them rowing.




Mientras Daniel y July Ann remaban alrededor del lago, Nuri esperaba en la orrilla junto a otros, y se preparaba para los 20 km en bicicleta que iba a correr en medio del bosque.
::
And while Daniel and July Ann were canoeing around the lake, Nuri was waiting at the shore, getting ready for the 10 miles of biking inside the woods.



Ni bien llegaron los otros, Nuri corrio hacia su bicicleta...
::
As soon as they got there, Nuri run towards his bike...



.. se monto a su bici y salio! Una parte era sobre asfalto, asi que yo fui corriendo para alcanzarlo y sacarle una foto.
::
.. he got up in his bike and left! Part of the ride was on the asfalt, so I hurried there to be able to photograph him.




Y en otro punto, donde Nuri tenia que llegar, Daniel estaba esperandole para seguir el triatlon corriendo unos 6 Km. Nuri llego tan rapido que no pude sacarle foto, pero aqui pueden ver los dos que llegaron antes de el y Daniel de espaldas esperando para partir.
::
At another certain point, where Nuri had to arrive, Daniel was waiting for him to continue the triathlon running about 3 miles. Nuri arrived so fast that I wasn't able to photograph him, but in this photo you can see the two that arrived before him and Daniel's back - waiting to depart running!



Y despues de 1 hora 20 minutos y no se cuantos segundos, llega Daniel a la meta, mientras Nuri&Leila y los otros esperabamos, siendo el equipo de los Eady el segundo en su categoria!! :)
::
And after 1 hour 20 minutes and I don't know how many seconds, Daniel arrives to the Final Point, while Nuri&Leila and others were waiting for him, being the Eady team the second in their category!! :)
