July 6th 2006 dawned warm and dry. Well, Jean and
I didn't see the dawn, but Caroline did as she, along with her friend
Henry, did the London Triathlon in the Olympic category(!) Suzi joined
Jean and I in a speedy journey across London in time to see her in the
final stages of the run. Her total time: 2hrs 33mins.
A few pictures of her day from our perspective!
first there's the tube journey...
A glimpse of the 40K bike stage which Caroline will
have just finished.
waiting for a glimpse, we know she's out there
somewhere.
it looks tough, it is tough
here she is...
head down...
she sees us...
Lots of people cheering for their
friends and colleagues
The area around is full of photographic
opportunities.
Jean and Suzi watching...
around the corner, swimmers were getting ready for
their commune with the Thames
watched from overhead by family and friends
heads all lined up, ready to go
Canary Wharf in the background
someone with a lens even bigger than mine!
moments later she's passing mum on the other side of
the course
getting really warm out there...
and then its all over! (bar the shower)
Well done Cas!
Henry did well too, two hours 13 minutes, I believe.
Henry's a tall chap; stood next to Suzi here, and
she's not short!
