Penticton Day #2,#3

We hosted a Tri Fusion BBQ Potluck Thursday night at our "Shotel" (as Emma calls it)!

We all enjoyed some delicious food and fellowship and laughter, and with 6 families packed in our Shotel I think we got close to breaking the noise ordinances a few times.

Friday morning was the Ironman Famous "Underpants Run"! Last year Roger talked Jessi and I into doing it and because we didn't agree until the last minute we were scrambling for underpants the night before.

Being veterans, this year would be different. We planned and shopped for our Underpants race attire and decided on going with a color theme of Black and Red in honor of our Tri Fusion Teammates we will be cheering for on Sunday!

Here we are before the race, it took Jessi and I a few minutes to coax Tanya and Daryce into taking off their warm-ups!

These are 2 Ironman Canada participants from who decided to go all out with the Drag Queen theme!

Here is a mommy to be who was proudly showing off her baby bump in honor of the group she would be cheering for!

After lunch Jessi and I went on a 2 hour bike ride. Kevin and Roger joined us for the 1st 30 minutes, we tucked in tight behind Roger and drafted our hearts out as Roger was doing an "easy" ride to just spin his legs out!

The afternoon was filled with visiting local farmer fruit stands, we purchased fresh peaches, nectarines, apricots, blackberries and several varieties of plums, all mouth watering delicious!

We topped that off by visiting some more local wineries for wine tasting.

So nice to be included in your little visit to Penticton and surrounding area. As always, it is a delight to read all about the support these triathletes have from those who are just "relaxing" and resting out this one. Loved the "girls only" photos - you were all very cute (and brave). You always make it sound like life is beautiful (and with you, it certainly is!).
Love, Rachael (#1 and counting)
