California-Bound in June
It's official now!
Waverly and I will be taking our summer vacation this year to San Francisco and Los Angeles; however, we hope to be at the starting - and finish - line for the Western States 100 that Rick Cook will be running in late June (28-29, to be exact).
This isn't the first time, obviously, that we've gone to spectate and support.
It is actually something that started at the Sugar Land 30K in December 2005 when Steve Bezner, Holden Choi and myself (thinking Dave Smart stayed around too for a little bit) waited to make sure Joe Breda and Jennifer Kim finished - aka "No Blogger Left Behind".
Since then (and I'm not bragging - just sharing how fortunate I've been), I've had the chance to see, do or be involved in the following:
+ Run with Waverly in January 2006 to her first half marathon at the Aramco Houston Half Marathon.
+ Present at the start of the 2006 Rocky Raccoon 100-Miler for Rick and Dalton.
+ (Saw the "No Blogger Left Behind" spirit at its peak when a whole crew of Bloggers ran Vic in as he finished the HMSA Classical 25k in 2006.)
+ Run the fourth loop at the 2007 Rocky Raccoon 100-Miler with Rick.
+ Run the first 9.-something miles with Bill during his last half marathon in Austin in '07.
+ (Missed Sarah's first half Ironman attempt in Galveston last March. Oops!)
+ Went to Lubbock last June to see Kim Hager compete in the Buffalo Springs Half Ironman.
+ Witness Andrew Perry's first triathlon the same day.
+ Ran the News and Sentinel Half Marathon with Cassie last August in Parkersburg, West Virginia
+ Participate in Texas' first overnight, long-distance relay - the Texas Independence Relay - with 13 of my friends
+ Witness Cassie's first triathlon.
+ Witness Katy's first triathlon.
I'm sure I'm missing lots of things in there, and if there's something that I've missed that I've done with or for somebody -- not listing it was unintentional.
