Luann is my hero

We got up at 5 a.m. Sunday morning for a run... but this time it wasn't our run - it was Luann's!
Luann is now a triathlete - and we got to witness it! So proud of you!!!

With nearly 1,000 athletes gathered at Cathedral Park for the Portland Triathlon, it was a bit like Where's Waldo:
THERE she is - gettin' pumped:
Sun rising as we wait:
Brrr...
There she goes!
Absolutely gorgeous!
She's out... done with her 750-meter open-water swim in the Willamette River!
Out of the transition area and off on her 26-kilometer bike ride:
What a beautiful place to wait:
Oooh... there she is - all done with the bike portion:
Last leg - a 5-kilometer run:
We ran up the hill and caught up with Luann as she headed over the St. John's Bridge.
Before we knew it, she was rounding the corner into the finish chute:
According to the Web site, Luann's official time was 2:12:27. I am truly amazed!

Way to go, Luann!!!!!!

Of course, we were famished after watching all these triathletes so we headed to Saturday Market for some grub. Veggie chili for me:
A gyro for Brad:
And they already have the Portland Marathon banners up downtown, so we had to take a picture for Brad :)
After a nap and some chores, we drove back to Portland for dinner with Brad's folks at Cup and Saucer. Brad had the pasta special, which was excellent:
Grilled veggie sandwich for me:
Chipotle chicken salad for Donna:
And a reuben sandwich for Steve:
We sat for a long time in the Hawthorne diner and swapped stories of recent travels.

A great Sunday :)
