With tri racers in Fort Worth with Play Tri and KPC!

 

Looks a little like a stampede …… right!

this is what it looked like when we got there on Sunday …

Wow…..

Thanks to the volunteers and to the Life Guards & CG that

spent the wee hours of the early am in a vehicle to be at

the waters edge by 6am and make sure the course was

set and ready for the racers!

They/We/ …..us   make it look easy, but it’s not really…

you need some specific skills both in a kayak……

It was a ladies only event, at LRH and JPJ park and the

water and the weather were perfect!

this part of LRH is interesting

as the new bridge is impressive from the water, and the

winds blow from the southeast, the water is very calm!

the ladies did great as did our women instructors, Thanks

Grace, Nettie and Karen!

I think the class had fun too!  Right Ladies!
