Vassaloppet, 2010

Anthony was wifed....by a lot. I blew-by him at around 35 kilometers of the 58 kilometer race...it was glorious. Beating the hubby made up for a not so great race results-wise.
Yes, that comment was intended to rub it in even more :)

Boulder Lake 31km Skate Ski Race - 17 Jan 2010

Photo taken after the race. I maintained my very tenuous record of not being 'wifed' by only 50 seconds. The upcoming Mora Vasaloppet may be my undoing in the couple-competition.

Camp Pendleton Home

The Dutchman Duck Pop-up Camper and the Honda Fit. Spacious accommodations out in the middle of Camp Pendleton.

And there's cooked fish at the other end.
Rolled fish.
Not as raw fish.
Fish--raw fish.
There is fish at each and every meal! Fresh, raw fish!!!

This is the dining room--they have one big ballroom set aside for the athletes for the whole two weeks. It's buffet style, come when you want during each meal time. (each meal lasts 4 hours, so there's lots of time to eat as much as you could possibly want. especially if it includes fish)
These piles of rocks are piles of wishes--people place rocks on the pile and make a wish!

The living room of our condo, the girls team and guys team each have their own condos.
Home Sweet Home for the next two weeks. This tower of condos is really nice, there's actually another 6 floors below this level. We have great rooms, it's really nice, it just takes forever on the elevators....f..o...r...e...v...e...r.

The food-court at a wayside rest along the highway. There was English all over, starting in the airport. Even a small town near our venue had quite a few English signs.
On the bus from Seoul to Peyong Chang. The event organizers did a great job of getting us where we had to be. There were several people waiting for me when I got off the plane, and it was the same for each athlete/group of athletes that trickled in. Rifle transport is a very serious issue--the rifles have to be transported in separate vehicles than their owners.
