Arusha Rotary Run/Walk/Cycle Event

We had a great day at the Arusha Rotary’s Bike race yesterday.  All five of us volunteered and participated to benefit the Arusha Rotary.  It was a hot day with an early start, but we all had a great time.

Great showing by Team Coyle:  six medals (Ash did two), 4 hats:  prizes for our 3rd place: Anderson, 2nd place: Tierney and me, and 1st place: Ashlyn and two Throttle the Bottle bottles.  (And I do want to mention that Ash won her whole age group…boys and girls, and then decided to race the next age group up as well where she also would have placed had she been a legal participant.  Great job Ashy!)

It’s getting hot here and a full day in the sun took it’s toll on us, but it was worth it.  What I wouldn’t have given for any sort of delivery dinner last night. 

Our cave of passion fruit really does seem to love the heat though.

And it seems the end of the dry season power outages have started up.  Almost every day this past week power has been out for at least a few hours.  We’re going on seven hours off right now.  Good times.   Come on rain!
