OUR OKINAWAN ADVENTURE AND BEYOND, 2005-2009
Courtesy of the USMC, James and I have been stationed in Okinawa, Japan since December 2005. We hope this site will best convey what has been the adventure of a lifetime, through Asia and beyond! Stay tuned for our Stateside adventures as we prepare to separate from the Marine Corps in the summer of 2009.
Schwab Aquathon, 2.5 k run, 1 k swim, 2.5 k run
Before the race starts...It's already 90 degrees...My training partner is to my right along with another spouse in the unit, 5 months pregnant with twins decided to attempt it with her one year old watching. Brave...
The starting gun goes off and the race begins...
A quick water break before transitioning to the swim
Headed to the water, sporting the latest in swimming fashion. ;)
That's me entering the water for the first of two laps...too bad the current got the better of me in my initial attempt. I was supposed to head towards the triangle on the horizon, to my left...I had to correct a bit...
Sporting our numbers, post race, after brunch. I'm 31...
My training partner and I sporting our new race tees
Definitely an awesome life experience...not sure when I'll do another one, though. ;)
