There's an undeveloped rail trail from Vernon to Kelowna that passes through the park.
only 10 minutes from the recently built track at Okanagan College.
Leo participated in a number of track events, from the 800 meters to the 5000 meters, racewalking, and several relays.
Connie competed successfully in what she does best, spectating:
The 10 km road race went from a viewpoint down to the campsite and back up again, with views like this:
Leo was first in his age class in the 10 k
But Robert from Vancouver was hot on his heels the whole way.
As always Leo did well, winning 8 medals, including 4 gold!
There are some wonderful photos in this post: first the weather and scenery almost make me want to move to Vernon, but I love Connie looking jaunty in the bleachers, and the way the rest of the spectators can't agree on what to watch. Finally, Leo and Robert battling it out is a classic and shouldprobably be blown up and hung in your den.
