Ironman 70.3: Antwerp, Belgium Congratulations to Ironman 70.3 winners Bart Aernouts (1st place), Marino Vanhoenacker (2nd place), and Dirk Bockel (3rd place). These champions swam 1.9 km (1.2 miles), bicycled 90 km (55.9 miles), and ran 21.1 km (13.1 miles). It was inspiring to watch the competitors battle each other, and more importantly themselves. The Grote Markt of Antwerp, Belgium was the perfect venue for the finish line, shown below. You can see Bart Aernouts just before he crossed the finish line in 3 hours and 43 minutes. The iPhone 3G photograph is a little grainy, but my memories of this time are sharp and vivid. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
Sunshine Paraglider With all of the sun and warm weather we have been having in San Diego, a sunset image of a paraglider above La Jolla, California is fitting. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
Sea Star Stacks Second Beach, pictured above, was a pleasure to visit. From the moment I headed out on the muddy winding trail, hilly terrain and thick mossy overgrowth lead me to believe I was about to experience a beach like no other. In fact, Second Beach did not disappoint. Plentiful boldly colored sea stars and numerous sea stacks (the eroded cliff pictured in the background) were nice surprises. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
