The rest of the day was spent eating (no, DINING)  and Amber and I got to know the folks better.

One guy in the funny outfit runs back and forth. Everyone looks at him. Then after quite a while, the &#8220;creative team&#8221; seeks refuge in  Duathlon legend Kenny Souza&#8217;s RV  to hook up the camera to the Apple Mac to look at &#8220;what we have got&#8221;, and then we go out again and do it again. And Again. Then the running guy changes clothes or shoes and does it again. And again.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m proud to say that the make-up artist said I needed no &#8220;work&#8221; done. Amazing what enough distance from the lens can do to. Instead of make-up.<\/p>\n<p>Was great to hang out with Chuckie V again.  He is coaching Angela Naeth who is one of Avias&#8217; up-and-coming road triathletes who was also at the shoot. Chuckie has the best stories ever and some interesting insights on life and sport.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conradstoltz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/p5190032.jpg\" alt=\"p5190032.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ed from Avia drives this sweet Jeep, and I was stunned by the names my name was associated with&#8230; Legends whom I idolized when I was just a school boy.
