The Washington, NC Olympic and Sprint Triathlon, 2011: Chapter II - The Run, the Race and the Swim | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher' note: As one can plainly surmise, I take lots of pictures, and while they take a good bit of work for me to bring them to you, I cannot put them all in one article on a subject such as this, the first of which was "The Washington, NC Olympic and Sprint Triathlon, 2011: Chapter I - Getting Started, and Then the Finish." Therefore, with that being the case, here is the second installment of pictures explaining this human endeavor requiring the supreme effort of such a great dimension.

    The pictures tell the story here, and as this story is important, please contact me with the names of any of the folks that you may recognize in the photos, whom participated this fine Saturday, and I will list them in the appropriate places.
What a vision? It's a very early, but beautiful morning. Some triathletes are in the water, some volunteers are in Kayaks: Above and below.     photos by Stan Deatherage
The Triathlon, Olympic and Sprint, is a waiting game as to who enters the water next: Above. The organizers, like Debbie Gavaghan (in the white Finish Strong T, center left), the observers, and the participants alike discuss the finer points of the event yet to unfold: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage
