The Across the Lake Swim, Part Seven

On Saturday morning, we all got up bright and early...6:00 am is bright and early on a good day and far too early on a Saturday, especially when that Saturday is part of a vacation.

But, we all got up bright and early on Saturday morning.

My sister, Kelsey (a.k.a. Team Hardcore), was back in action, accompanied in her insanity this time by our other sister, Rebecca (a.k.a Punk)...this time for the Across the Lake Swim, for the seventh (unconsecutive) time. Our parents dropped us off on the west side of Okanagan Lake with Jared and drove back across the bridge to await our arrival at Hot Sands Beach.

No, Alex, Jared and I didn't decide to join the girlies in their morning paddle across the lake...not in the water in any case. We were their spotter crew. Jared was alongside Rebecca in a kayak and Alex and I were charged with locating Kelsey and canoeing beside her...There were only about 200 swimmers out there, all wearing yellow swim caps and most wearing black swimwear...so it was easy to pick Kelsey out...HA! not likely. But we found her.

The race encourages a friendly competition between our two swimmers...Kelsey won the contest this year, but wait for next year (Part Eight!). You never know what might happen...except maybe that I will *never* join the competition!

ready set go!

brrr...isn't it cold?
