My parents agreed to watch the girls (and Shelby) so Kyle and I could spend the night and have a little getaway. We dropped the girls off yesterday mid-morning with Grandpa and Grandma and headed out. This is prime tulip time in the Skagit Valley, so we started off with lunch at a little diner in La Conner and then drove through the tulip fields.
We then made our way to Oak Harbor and the event expo to pick up my race packet before heading to our hotel. We relaxed for a short while (we were hoping to make use of the hot tub at the hotel, but it was closed.) and then headed into downtown Anacortes to a little hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant for dinner. After dinner, we went for a walk through the marina and talked about how we will never own a boat!

The race was this morning so we headed out from the hotel and had a pleasant drive from our hotel down to the start line. After dropping me off, Kyle found several places along the course to cheer me on. The weather was almost perfect...a little too breezy to actually be perfect:) It was a beautiful course and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire run!

| I'm not so sure what to think about that ponytail... (and my dad suggested that it would probably be easier to run if I kept my eyes open!!) |

| All finished! They didn't mess around when it came to the medals! That thing is huge! |
