Hooray for summer!


It's finally sunny and has gotten up to the 90s this week! Quite a welcome change from the 50s/60s cloudy/rainy 4th of July weekend!! I got to do my first OWS in Lake Washington on Wednesday (and it was actually WARM!) and I will be spending a lot more time at my favorite place! (Matthews Beach, above)

Tri training has still been going well after I got over that nasty little cold, and we have our first mock tri at Seward Park tomorrow - probably 800M swim, 10 mile bike, and 2.5 mile run. Then next Sunday, is my first triathlon of 2010 - Seafair Sprint Tri at Seward Park!


It will be the first sprint distance tri that I've raced, and I'm super excited for it! I'm hoping to come in under around 1:45 or 1:50 (although of course finishing strong is the main thing). I'd like to finish the 800M swim in under 18:00, the 12 mile bike in under 50:00, and the 5K run in under 35:00. Hopefully I'll be able to improve on those times even more once the Danskin Sprint Tri comes around in the middle of August!

And, only one more week until vacation (Long Beach, on the Washington coast, and then down to San Francisco to run the SF First Half on Sunday)!!
