St. George, UT

We stayed a week in St. George UT as Jim played in a pickleball tournament with Bill Abbott. We had never been there before and must say it is a beautiful area. Nice town. The second day we were there the Ironman Race was held there which was very exciting. The event
starts at 7:00am goes to midnight. It begins with a 2.4 mi swim, a 112 mi bike ride and ends with a 26.2 mi run. It ran a block from where we were staying so we walked down to see it. We thought it so interesting we went downtown to the finish line at 9:30pm got so exciting watching them come over the finish line we stayed until the last person came in at 11:56! Unfortunately NONE of us had our cameras. Drat! When will I see an Ironman again.
Bill and Jim won a silver in the mens doubles. Way to go guys!

Jim and his mixed doubles patner Diane(not me) won the Bronze. Yeah!

Sue and Bill won a silver in mixed doubles(sorry no picture of both of them together)
We had a great week with Sue and Bill. They showed us the area, we took bike rides on a terrific path, attended 2 cooking classes, had enjoyable happy hours, met several other RVer's. But I just kept forgetting my camera. Oh well.
