Keeping a steady pace and making their way back. Actually, the competition is evaluated solely in the time it takes for each participant to finish all three legs of the event. This just in - the participant in the bright green running shoes, and yellow visor is Gary Hartong. The heats are scheduled to begin in intervals, so it is not about the time of day that one finishes, just the time it took for one to finish: Below.    photo by Stan Deatherage
    A fitting end to this extra long article is showing the triathlon participants making their way towards the conclusion of their competition - going or coming. Congratulations to them all.

   Those who compete always see the world a bit differently, as doable, and real. I dig that.
