Pyramid Lake Triathlon 2009

Most people around these parts agree Pyramid Lake is eerie and special, and there are even stories that things gone missing in Lake Tahoe have ended up in Pyramid Lake- that there's some sort of secret underwater vortex between the two lakes.

Anyway there's a triathlon out there. I did it one year, and it was the hardest thing I'd ever done (next to climbing in and out of the Grand Canyon in a day). This year Jim Conkey, 78, did it, and he said it was the hardest thing he's done since around age 40.

check out the recap vid I shot and edited! And note local athlete Scott Young's 7-ish second bike- run transition. Impressive!
Done as a part of ActiveReno.
