Autumn has arrived

It went from summer to autumn overnight as the rains and cooler temperatures came after a wonderful summer. Tis the season for many birthdays and races too. That means lots of cake and Swiss chocolate - yummmm.

The fall racing season begins. Good luck to those going to Leavenworth and Portland next weekend.

Discovery hills, before.....
the cake!!

And another cake two days later...
Herding cats??

Swim, Run and Hike

Karen D and Carrie did the Aquarun for Children in Tacoma, 1.5 mile swim and 5 km run. Wow they rocked even if the water was, brrr, cold. Karen D was the 3rd woman overall in that race.
Karen W raced the 5 km swim, yes that is 3 miles worth of cold swimming and took her age group!

The hike to Kendall Katwalk was awesome. Check out Merilyn's amazing photos.

Fall Events

Fall is here, even though you wouldn't know by the temperatures, and everyone is settling in to training for their races and events scheduled for this time of year. Not too late to sign up for a bike event or running/walking race.

Well let's see, since the last post lots has happened.

Cheryl ran the Reykjavik Marathon, she had a fun time on a beautiful route.

April ran the Skagit Flats 1/2 Marathon and took 12 minutes off her old course record!!

Nicki raced the 5 km Women of Wonder at Green Lake.

Leslie and Carrie biked the 152 km (93 miles) Grand Fondo, from Vancouver to Whistler. Leslie was 2nd in her age group!

Sandra and Alyson rode the High Pass Challenge, haven't gotten the scoop yet, but I bet it was beautiful up there at Mt St Helen's.

Heidi and Fritz rode back to back 60 and 25 miles as part of the MS 150 bike ride.
And Seujan and Team Amy Works rode the whole thing 80 and 72 miles in the two days.
