Down Sound Racing Highlights


 

 

11 hours and nothing better to do

Lake Cowichan Marathon Swim, Cowichan Valley, BC, Canada 8/12/2005

 
Cowichan1 The start.  R to L:  Jaime (BC), Matt, Erin, Kathy, Pete (BC), Challis, Peter, Alex (BC), Leanne (BC), Laura (BC), Lisa (Bellingham) 
Cowichan 2 The course.  From #3 (at the West end) to the Research Station (waaaay the heck down at the non-West end).

 

Attention Campers is right.

Cowichan 3 The start and the course.  Looking down the course.  All the 66-degree water you can drink.  And that point of land on the right is the first checkpoint - all of 1.7k down the pike.  From there, only a half marathon to go.
Cowichan 4 Our (soon to be) champion.

...not quite 1,136 laps in the IAC pool...or just shy of 38 trips to Thompson's and back...or 32.5 laps of the triathlon swim course...or....... 

With that going through your mind it's OK to flash a wry smile

Cowichan 5 Underway.  Ex-tri and swim hard core (and 2006 Marathon Swim relay team member) Greg at the helm.  Don't worry about the paperwork, we signed you up already.
The approach to the finish.  This is where you start your sprint.
