Savannah is a dog...living the life on Sanibel Island, Florida. We have even gone as far as dedicating a blog to her and some of the adventures that involved documentation, perhaps revealing a little too much about the amount of dorkiness and obsession that she has to deal with on a daily basis. Please read chronologically from the bottom on up, or simply enjoy the latest addition.

The Day of the Triathlon...
An early start to an exciting day...
Sara still finds time to enjoy the sunrise.
Almost as amazing as our sunsets...but too early to fully take it all in and appreciate it.
Some of the Team in Training Crew.

Into the changing stages to start the cycling portion.
Salli showing support for our favorite triathlete.
Coming down the path, Sara finds the cameraman and shows her enthusiasm. Notice, she leads the pack.
...And the grueling 10k kicks in. The humidity was at 95%, which is incredibly unpleasant for all you west-siders.
Coming into sight of the finish line with an awesome time, right before the clouds let loose a horrendous thunder storm...
Still smiling... Do it again next year?
