| Saturday, July 23rd, was filled with the type of weather that we dream about: Sunny, hot and calm. |
| At 9:30 AM (ish) the athletic highlight of the year for the lake took place. The O'Keefe Triathlon went smoothly (No storms, major heart attacks or lost competitors that I am aware of). |
| The swim accross the lake, the first leg of the event, is only about a half mile if a straight course is followed. Several of the athletes showed off their swimming skill/love of the water/poor navigation by deviating from a straight course and adding hundreds of extra feet to the water divide of the race. The calm water lead to surprisingly few drownings this year. |
| During the running part of the race the knott lane speed limit was not violated nor was the speed reduced. I lost interest shortly after this picture and did not get any of the biking leg of the race, sorry. Some Joe guy won and all finished. |
| There has been a few big eagles fishing the north end of the lake all summer. |
| From the size of this brood of wood ducks it looks like the eagles are eating only fish. |
| We hearkened the siren song of work and reluctantly left late Tuesday. We'll be back soon. |
