Germany Pictures
O finally had more than 2 seconds to sit down and help me size some pictures correctly so I could put them up on my blog! I don't have that many though. Most of the pics are on my mom's camera of which I don't have access to (yet). Will post more as they become available!
I learned that the word "triathlon" is the same no matter the language. Good thing. Ever try to read German before? They have some crazy long words...
A view of part of downtown Hamburg. The water you see was nearing the end of the swim and the big steeple in the back was right where the finish line was.
The Alster (aka freezing body of water that we swam in) right before the U23 Women started.
There is a McDonald's close by no matter where you go!
And herein lies the precise reason why I would never be able to live in Germany. Do you see how small these Diet Coke (or Coca Cola Zero) bottles are?! I would never be able to survive! And the whole time I was there I never once saw Diet Pepsi (which is much preferred over Coke). Making matters worse the Coca Cola Zero tasted very suspect. Needless to say I guzzled about 5 cans of DP once I arrived home... :)

Big Congrats on your race!!! We've been on vacation all week and just got back today, but I was wondering how things went for you. It's so nice to hear someone so positive about their athletic endeavors.
ok, now ... back to work for you!
