Derby cousins and Gareth's triathlon

Chris and Emma arrived in from Santiago at 4.15am on Saturday monring....now that is early, even for us! We enjoyed the sunny morning with a BBQ breakfast in the sunshine, followed by a walk up One Tree Hill with an ice cream and watching the wedding taking place in the park.

On Sunday morning, Gareth completed his first triathlon. The sun was shining and he had lots of support. The course consisted of a 500m sea swim, a 20km bike ride and then a 5km run.
