July 12th Staying put in Windermere

Today, Becky and Dave ran the Invermere triathlon.   Their times were excellent and we had the opportunity to photograph them at various stages – swimming preparation, heading out on the bicycle for 40k circuit through Invermere  and charging in from the 10k run.  After a brief recuperation time and dinner at Radium, we went to visit Nipika, an outdoor wilderness resort that borders the Kootenay river and Kootenay National park.  The property is owned by my cousin Diane and her husband.  It’s a spectacular piece of property with many miles of trails, and a variety of outdoor activities and/or lessons.  Tonight we begin the preparation for the last leg – a trip to Calgary.
