Summer in the PNW is Like Santa

They tell you it exists but the reality is someone fabricated the idea so we have something to look forward to.  I know, I know, I shouldn't complain since the rest of the county is baking.  But really, is a consistent streak of nice weather too much to ask for?  So it would seem...

This past weekend it was really nice on Saturday, hot and sunny.  The perfect weather (ha!) for Matt to participate in the Olympia Travers, a multi-event race comprised of mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, and running.  He and two other guys we run with signed-up to do it solo (it is a team event), I was the good wife/friend and carted everyone's gear around to the various checkpoints.  Everyone went into the event thinking it would be fun and easy, they finished with a slightly different opinion.  It seems it was a bit tougher than anticipated.  But, they still had fun. 

Matt sprinting to the finish.
