It's almost Race Day



WE DID IT!! Well almost.
Brooke, Laurie, and I met for our final workout on Wednesday night - this is supposed to be our easy week as we ease into the race weekend according to all the experts. So I took a few days off work and went on a trip to the Oregon Coast with Tom and Sally where we made a few ascents of the sand dune at Cape Kiwanda - isn't it beautiful? I had every intention of beating them to the top of the dune but youth won out inspite of all the training.
I'm not sure what Brooke and Laurie were doing for workouts in the meantime, but we got together on Wednesday evening for our last hurrah: swam 1/2 a mile at American Lake - this time with no stopping - then hopped on our bikes and rode to Steilacoom and back. Brooke quit wearing her boot and decided she would walk the 3.1 miles on Sunday.
Helles Belles Rock!! Watch for the next episode after Sunday's race.
