tryathlon

despite not getting back late last night from the lantern festival, we were out of the house at 6.30am this morning to drive across town for the weetbix tryathlon

both esther and kezia really enjoyed their races.  there were some celebrities for us to look at including a gold medal shot putter (guess which one she is!) and a world known triathelete and some other athlete !

(i wasn’t taking notes).  there was also one of the silver fern netball team who are national heroes

anyway, here are some photos of the girls doing their thing.  it’s a logistical nightmare with crowds everywhere and more than once i was stuck on the wrong side of the track trying to catch up with them to get a photo.

as a result i’ve got no evidence of them passing the finish line (but they did)

we spent the rest of the day pootling about at home as it’s been too hot to do anything else.

esther’s got school camp tomorrow until wednesday and i’m down to wellington for the day tomorrow.  so more early starts tomorrow
