Other Stuff...

Hmmm, let's see. Here are a few other interests which you may find interesting (after all, you've read thus far...).

Photography

Gerald has been interested in photography ever since he got his first 110 (a cute little German-made instamatic). He began a more serious approach in photography when he upgraded to Pentax K-1000 kit, then a few years later, a Nikon FE. With the advance of the digotal age, he now uses a Canon Digital Rebel.

Triathlon

Triathlons are fun - he's tried a few, but then again, too few to mention. Well, here's one of them:

A Decent Riding Mountain Triathlon - Clear Lake, MB. - 35 minute swim (relaxed, good technique - 72 minute bike (awesome! Rode an 11 pound Trek 5900 borrowed from Phil at Olympia -- absolutely flew in the flats and even on the climbs - 48 minute run (ran it all, no major problems, just a few cramps). Total time = 2 Hours, 39 minutes.

Went without a wetsuit this time. Figured the time saved in the transition would make up for lost bouyancy.

Finishing the swim ahead of more than 40 other swimmers (much better than last year).

Helmet on and grabbing the Trek 5900 -- 11 pounds of sheer joy wrapped in carbon-fiber.

Crossing the finish line in style (again) -- almost one hour better than the year before.
