Team Hagkull

A Very Hot Day

Uncle Dave Soltys stepped up and joined us this past Saturday in the 2nd Annual Aldergrove Triathlon Festival. Ben's Granny & Poppa and our family from Dubai were all sporting Team Hagkull shirts and cheering us on. A few days earlier, the Weather Network predicted a temperature of 42 degrees in our neighboring city of Hope, BC! Thankfully it didn't get that hot, and we did start in the morning just after 9am. A bit of cloud cover prevented the temperature from getting silly, but we did feel it in the final leg - the run around Walmsley Lake. Our official times haven't been posted yet, but I think we shaved about 10 minutes off last year's time. "Finishing is Winning" and so - we won! Thanks Uncle Dave for being our pace car and making our experience just that much more enjoyable!
