It was a true multisport day on Saturday with swiming, biking, and running.  In the early morning hours the first group (Anna, Emily, Louise, Lesley) left for a 100 mile ride in the hills of Arkadelphia and Hot Springs, another group ran 14 miles, up and down the hills, and through a valley.  I heard the 100 mile ride got pretty hot, and the group had to stop and ask for some water at a local's house.   Lesson to learn, ....always be prepared to stop and ask for fluids.   I've had to do this on ocassion when I just ride to see what's down some roads and have ran out of water at least twice.  Each time, the homeowner was gracious and let me use the hose to fill up with water.   I even got a glass of sweet ice tea once.

Susan road with the 100 mile group and then met up with a group of Triathletes from Little Rock riding the Degray Half Iron course. Craig and Mike C. road the Half Iron course and then ran an hour after the ride.  Lots of heat this weekend.  During the afternoon the asphalt was so you could not stand in one spot with bare feet.  

The early morning runners (Denise, Martha, Chris, Matt) finished up the run and then went to the Swim Clinic which was held in a Waterpark.  All the campers got to enjoy the water slides after the pool part of the clinic was complete.

Later during the day, the second part of the clinic was held at the Lake Degray Spillway.  We had bouys placed in the water and did several drills swimming out to the bouys and making the turn, and I got a pretty sweet sunburn on my forehead.   I also swam the fly on a couple of the drills.  :)

During the day we discovered there was a 5K (Dam Night Run) this night at the spillway. We refueled, put on our running gear and headed down to the spillway to sign up, get our t-shirts and ride a flatbed trailer 5K up the road to wait and run back down.
