Snake River Sprint Triathlon

A little different, cold and we will see: "THE RACE: The Triathlon is a 500 yard swim Friday night with a 12-mile bike and 2-mile run on Saturday. The swim will be at the Asotin County Family Aquatic Center from 4-8pm on Friday. The bike (both mountain and road) will start at 10:00am + your swim time (IE - if you swim time was 7:47 then you will start at 10:07:47am). The bike portion leaves the parking lot area, heads out the main park entrance road and takes a RIGHT onto Tammany Creek Road. Then proceed out Tammany (South and East) to the 6-mile turn around (just past Lucky Acres Arena) then returns to Hells Gate. The run starts at the far North parking lot at Hell's Gate State Park and heads North on the levee path 1 mile then returns to the transition area in the parking lot. The finish will come into the parallel parking lot as the transition area." [source: 2008 Snake River Sprint Triathlon] Keep smiling, I try (3rd. place) --- Kjell

HAPPY EASTER

HAPPY Easter "Easter, also called Pascha, is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[1] It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crucifixion around AD 33. Many non-religious cultural elements have become part of the holiday, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter." [source: Wikipedia]

Nice job Harry

Harry from Biestmilch 7 played the Didgeridoo. You can watch it on YouTube. Have a great Ester-weekend --- Kjell

Saint Patrick´s day

Happy Saint Patrick´s Day: "Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially St. Paddy's Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa 385–461 AD), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17. ... Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by non-Irish people (usually in Australia, North America, Ireland) as well. Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the colour green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green or orange, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink (such as Guinness) and attending parades."

and ...

"Hamburgs Ironman Kjell Schiöberg kam in Malaysia als 17. unter 700 Startern ins Ziel. Für die 3,8 Kilometer Schwimmen, 180 Kilometer Radfahren und 42,195 Kilometer Laufen brauchte er 9:57,50 Stunden. "Das war langsamer als im vergangenen Jahr, dafür war die Platzierung deutlich besser", sagte Schiöberg. Die extremen klimatischen Bedingungen mit Temperaturen um die 40 Grad Celsius und extrem hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit haben "allen Teilnehmern schwer zu schaffen gemacht". Der Ironman Malaysia gilt als einer der härtesten der Welt. Nach zwei Monaten Regenerationspause will Schiöberg in China starten." [Hamburger Abendblatt - 28.02.2008] --- Kjell
