SUMMIT SOLSTICE TRIATHLON

Here we are at Foy's Lake, just west of Kalispell.
Amber and 2 of her friends have entered as a team.
Shannon will swim, Amber will bike, and Danni
will run.
We've never been to an event like this, and we really enjoyed it. Everyone has an air of determination, energy, and fun!
Amber's team is called Foy Femmes. Go team!

The first leg is a 1/2 mile swim....in 58 degree water! Wetsuits were definitely involved.


Amber takes off and returns from a 12 mile bike ride in 37 minutes...we figured she averaged about 21 mph

Amber and Shannon discuss their events.

Danni finishes her run.

The girls come back from checking their time...They made first in their category, and 2nd overall! Woo hoo!!!

Time to head home!

CHECKING OUT EAST GLACIER

It was another rainy day, so we decided to check out the east side of the park. This waterfall was a bonus, right along Hwy 2.

East Glacier Lodge from across the golf course. The flowers in front aren't quite in their prime yet.

An outlet lets the overflow leave Lower Two Medicine Lake. They had record snowfall here, more than the west side.
