Trip to Lancelin

Kaes and I decided to take the dogs in the jeep and drive up the Coral Coast 1.5 hours to Lancelin. Lancelin is a small fishing village, but known to have some good beaches, beautiful water, and good places for off roading. The dogs love going to the beach and Jaek especially loves to chase the birds, whether in the water or in the air. It was a really scenic drive and a great way to spend our Saturday. Here are a few pictures below of our trip.

Jaek trotting along - I think he is almost "starting" to get tired


Chloe testing out the water - mmm, not so much...


Litte Chloe chasing after a bird...she has been taking lessons from her big brother, and is now quite the little hunter :)

PowerStation Triathlon and Duathlon


Last Wednesday Kim decided to sign us up for 2 upcoming triathlons/duathlons before we take our home leave in early December. The first one was last weekend (Saturday Nov 14th, 2009) and the next one is Sunday, Nov 29th. Kim did the duathlon which was 2 km run / 15 km bike / 2 km run which she finished in 1 hr 1 min. I did the triathlon which was 400 m swim / 20 km bike / 4 km run which I finished in 1 hr 22 mins. Weather was great and we both did well considering we really didnt train for the races.
