Colby, I love your race reports. I can always SEE your races when I read them. It really sounds like you're having a pretty good racing summer, kiddo. I will look forward to the Danskin report! By the way, Teigyr and I will be at the blue volunteer check-in tent, where the buses let athletes off. You'll probably be walking past there on the way out too so come say hi if you can! And have fun on Sunday! Sounds like the weather will be perfect.

If by any chance I forget and YOU happen to see ME, feel free to yell at me. I will be wearing the "standard race attire" of my blue and green and black zoot suit and carrying my red danskin bag from 2007. I will try to remember to stop by, though, and thanks to you both for volunteering

We will for sure say hi if we spot you! Water temps in Lake Washington have been in the low to mid 70s, warmer than usual. So it should be nice. Originally Posted by colby
