Sparkling and blue at McArthur’s pool – Featured Blog

No doesn’t that just look inviting?  

And before somebody comments about the fact that the water is probably cold because there are all those people on the side and nobody in the pool.  This was taken at the Ironkids event last weekend. The people are parents and supporters watching the kids in the water in the other pool.

This is a scene that played itself off over and over at Saturday’s Ironkids event.  Fathers doing the run leg along with their kids (often with mothers a few steps behind).  But if it only was as easy as it sounds.  Most of us huffed and puffed along carrying bags and cameras, taking photos, encouraging the kids to keep going and sidestepping other parents and the general public along the way.  Not quite as easy (or dignified) as it sounds.  Specially when you’re trying not to look like you’re gasping for air or wiping the sweat from your eyes the whole way.
