-FredrikXanTrekNavy in Action
Tomorrow morning Trek races in his first triathlon of the season–the Hayhurst Kids’ Triathlon at the Conestoga pool in Beaverton. He has made great strides in swimming lately and won’t need a kick board this time. The family is looking forward to cheer him on. Navy will bring the cowbell.
My brother-in-law took delivery of six cubic yards of bark dust that we helped him spread yesterday morning. Xan and the kids took the car, while I couldn’t pass up the opportunity for a bike ride. The weather was perfect and the scenery out there is as good as any in the state.
If you click on “View Details” below you’ll see the elevation profile. The middle of the route is basically straight up, then straight done. A good way to start the day.
I finished my first Hood To Coast Relay last night. What a cool experience!
One of my NOR PAC colleagues, Don, has been on my case for years to join up and I finally gave in this year. I thought it would be a good way to finish the racing season, since I did my last triathlon last weekend.
I underestimated how difficult it would be. Surprisingly, my legs felt strong through all three legs, but the sleep deprivation was brutal. It was like having a severe jet-lag while racing at the same time.
Would I do it again? Absolutely.
Thanks to the guys and gals in Van 1. It was a pleasure spending 27 sweaty and grimy hours with you in that Chevy.
I was too tired to use the camera much, but here are some pictures:
