Chris is doing RAMROD. I would only do RAMROD if we slung my bike in the back of a pickup truck and drove it! I have another sprint triathlon, though, on Saturday August 1, at Blue Lake Park near Portland. Poor Chris gets to do RR, and then get up the next day to go to Portland with me.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
