Copperman Triathalon






I headed north to Copper Harbor again this weekend. The Copperman Triathalon was happening and it was really cool too watch. There were 317 people in the race (only 300 are supposed to be admitted but apparently there are always exceptions to the rule!) I knew a few people in the race from last week's trail rides. It was beautiful day. I would have gone biking again, but I took a little tumble at the Tech trails on Thursday night and hurt my hand. Kind of tough to bike with a tender hand! So I hung out with Gromit again while her owners went riding. We walked to Copper Harbor marina and took a boat ride...her first ever...to the lighthouse and hiked around for a couple of hours. I met a couple from Minnesota and showed them what aThimbleberry was and enjoyed eating a few on the trails. Later, I just relaxed at the campground then visited with other people I had met a few weeks ago here at the music festival. I am going to return to Copper Harbor next weekend ( I hope!) and go kayaking! I also want to hike out to Manganese Falls and Lake Manganese up there, so i'll see how much time and energy I have left! Only 4 weeks left :(
