Can you give me a town that's near Columbia River Gorge, so I can Google how far of a drive it is?
The 26 is the weekend before my HIM. I guess I should be tapering, whatever that means.And Bowling for Soup is playing at one of the county fairs. BFS versus TE Tri Chicks weekend. It's a tough call.

I used Hood River to get an idea. It's an 11 hour drive. I wonder if there is anyone in the Bay Area who would like to go up for a weekend...

I think Wahine lives in or right near White Salmon.

Salsa, you are pretty much there
Let me know if 'n when you're ever in the mood to OW swim though my wetsuit is sleeveless and it still feels cold out. Who knows...you might end up liking running. I never thought I would and I really do now. In fact, I prefer running to the other tri disciplines right now.
V, you will be there for the weekend? That is fantastic
I LOOOOVE Title 9. If the fates were to tell me I had to spend $1,000 there, I would have no problem. Unfortunately, these fates don't appear to exist.

Teigyr, I thought we were going to start playing the lottery...if only I could convince myself to do it.
As soon as I get this wetsuit I am ready for an OWS, and I will PM you.
What I really liked most about Title Nine was how INTO it they were--that is, the running group thing. They were just so ENTHUSED and encouraging."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

Title 9 is about the only catalog I keep and just keep drooling over. I "hate" their models though. Real people aren't suppose to look that good. I think they must not sleep to have time to do all the things they do.

V - Hood River is very close. It's where I work. White Salmon is where I live and is directly across the river from HR. An 11 hour drive is about right. DH and I have done the drive from here to Stockton (his parents live there), we stay off of I5 as much as possible and it takes us about 12 hours. I'd love to have you here but it is a lot of driving.
Salsa - Whooooooo hooooooo..... It sounds like you're seriously getting the bug.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

I'll be on summer vacation so I've got the time. It's an intriguing idea. I wonder how much gas will cost by then...
