What a wonderful report, really. Thanks for writing it. And congratulations on number 5! And you moved!! We miss you.
Thanks! I took extra time to write my report so I didn't miss anything, and still feel like I could forget things. It's funny how they make ME recap the day. I like to come back and read them again later.

Austin reminds me a lot of home, but it still isn't the same. It's an adventure, we'll see where it goes. I will still be home part of the time, and DEFINITELY for summer races - who wants to race in Texas in August? Maybe I'll just fly south for the winter...

The biggest concern I have is the climate, eastern WA already grated on me with so many consecutive sunny and warm days. It's 70 degrees and November, I'm completely confused. I just want to go home and x-c ski or run in the rain! It's nice for riding, when it's not windy and/or occasionally humid.
