Talk about getting dirty.  After this silly duathlon had been completed, we were greeted by Charlie Chapmans, Talking Bananas, French Maids, and Ninjas to name a few of the many characters that tried our parfaits.  As we brought only a limited supply of reusable bags, we had created a huge buzz about both the parfaits and our baggies.  People were willing to trade certain articles of clothing for a bag and even a pair of muddy shoes.  This race was a ton of fun and the scenery was absolutely stunning.  Everybody from little tikes to grandparents were running and cycling together in this amusing race to the finish line.
