Fort DeSoto but no birds

[Josh O'Donnell]

Ok I'm sure there are still birds at Fort DeSoto, however I was there this morning and out of 1100 photos not one was that of a bird (which is definitely a first for me)... I had a freelance gig to photograph a duathlon race. This was my first time shooting a race like this and it was a lot of fun. This is one of my favorite photos that I've found so far...

Hi Josh Must have been fun !!! Duathlon? Din;t know they had it No swimming?

[Josh O'Donnell]

Yeah, no swimming... The athletes did a 5K run, followed by a 10 mile bike ride, and then another 5k run. It was a lot of fun, some of the athletes were insanely fit. Definitely reminded me of how fit I'm not haha... The winning time last year was 1 hour 4 minutes, this year it was 56 minutes... I was trying to stick around the finish so I could watch the time to get the winner as he came across, however I didn't know they were that far ahead of last years pace and I missed the winner by about 15 seconds... I as so mad at myself.

No birds, just chicks.
I did not really say that did I?
My wife told me never to call dames, chicks.
