On Thursday we headed to Show Low, AZ for the Deuces Wild Triathlon.

Show Low is about 70 miles northwest of Wallow fire which is currently ravaging eastern Arizona. We could see the smoke clouds from the race, but thankfully could not smell the smoke.

The race was Saturday morning. Kyle did the Deuce Man, a half iron distance triathlon, and I did the olympic distance race that started later that day. It was incredibly windy, but very fun.

On Sunday we left Show Low and headed to Albuquerque. We encountered smoke that was thick like fog...

lava fields...

and cacti.

We spent Sunday afternoon and Monday morning with Martin, Baxter, and Java.

On Monday we took a hike in the very cool Petroglyph National Monument.
