Seattle

i've been in seattle since friday hanging out with ben, matt and rory. we're staying at ben's parents' house on lake washington. above is the view from the balcony of mt. rainier a little before 6 this morning. the weather has been gorgeous and we've spent most days out on the water playing. matt is a little picture happy so you can see what we were doing every 5 minutes of this weekend by checking facebook. courtenay (ben's girlfriend) won the danskin triathlon on sunday morning and later that night it seemed that half the pro field from the lake stevens 70.3 was at ben's house for a bbq. there has been lots of distracting talk about training, injuries and other such fun.

we're going sailing this afternoon and fly fishing in the ocean tomorrow morning. being out here has distracted me from worrying about my race this weekend. it has been great to see everyone, and i hope this happens more often. tomorrow after fishing i head to colorado.
