12

This morning I got 12 miles of running in.... and yes, lots of it seemed / was uphill. From Marymoor half way around Lake Sammamish. And it is obvious that the construction/remodel business is in full swing out there.

Ran with the group , such as it was this morning. 4 of us. Coach Lesley is up in Penticton. Ironman Canada is tomorrow morning. And Eileen, one of the team, is also doing the race. And we've got a few others we know.

I'm flying up to watch in the morning. More news on that later.

Gina stayed in town and ran her 12 miles around here, the Burke Gilman, the UW campus, GLake, etc. Which reminds me to try and get a photo up here from my latest ride around campus.

Danskin Triathlon 2007

Here are some photos from this year's triathlon. It was a rainy day. I freaked in the swim. Gina had a flat , and we still managed to land in the Top 10 of the 50-54 age group. Val, of course, took 1st.
Karen B. waxed us all, competing with the elites (and she's had at least 20 more birthday parties than the rest of those gals)
Darcy placed 8th in the youngsters group (40-44). I guess all those spin classes paid off.




I think the little green dot behind the lead lady's butt, is me.

Post race, freezing, but the gal next to us insisted on taking our photo. uh, ok.
Nice that the free hat matched my shirt. (cuz we're all about fashion)

Gina finishes

Ann runs behind an ex Russian basketball player


Finishers. Gina, Darcy, ATR, Val, Karen


Our best-est (wettest) fan, Kathy.


No wonder I freaked in the swim.


Gina "speeds" thru the transition area.

ATR goes with the 'off the shoulder' look...... ooooh la la


Cap beauties.


Gina bikes... this is on the way out. The flat occurred about .75 miles from the finish. She rode it in, flat... and did not ruin her rim.

Sunday at Green Lake


Coach Lesley (in the middle) and her swim posse.
Gina and I decided it was too wavy.
We are the swim wimps.


Here are some guys doing the tight rope gig.


Not so balanced.


And Monet, NOT. He certainly wasn't painting our view.
Or if he was we need to check his beverage.
