Overly over due

The Ocho would like to apologize for being woefully overdue in her blogging about Smith Mtn. HP08 has been locked in a room until all hours of the night and weekend fighting about borders and workers and what not.
However, needless to say, the HPs showed up in full force (though a few members short) at Smith Mtn. HP08 doesn't have a lot of time to bust out the details, but she will say that she improved her overall swim time by 4 minutes (Whoo Hoo!), HP04 loves her new bike and believes it rides like the wind, HP06 completed her first tri relay with flying colors and HP09 wins the rock star award for being the first HP of the summer to complete a full Tri. Oh, and can we talk about how the booted everyone out the transition area 10 minutes before the start of the race?!? Super weird, super annoying and super stressful. Anyway, enjoy the photos. Here's the next time!

HP08 and HP09 getting ready to enter the 65 degree water. (Thanks for the wet suit, HP01!)

HP06 and HP04 looking dry and warm before the start.

HP06 pounding it out at the end.

HP09 at the finish. Whoo Hoo!

HP06, HP04 and HP08, the first relay of the year.
