Georgia: Jekyll Island



Last weekend Jen and I went down to Jekyll Island at the Southeast corner of Georgia and participated in our first Triathlon. The hardest part was swimming in the Ocean for 600 meters, as there were strong currents and generally rough conditions making it hard to keep in form. Cycling the 14 miles was amazing as the island is flat and very pretty, with some of the oldest structures in Georgia dating from the 1740s. The 5K run was along the ocean and also nice.

Later that evening, after taking a short nap, we end up at a seafood place at the end of a pier called Rah Bar. We hated the name, but their shellfish were tasty and the western view from their deck, shown here, was pretty fantastic!

Congrats Hutch and Jen -- this is really impressive. Sadly, however, I am no longer feeling so proud of myself for the 2 mile jog I took over the weekend ....

Well done!! I knew that you are both very fit but I that is impressive indeed. Even with swimmies I would have probably given up after swimming about 60m.
