tri time


August 17-23, 2008

I didn’t take many pictures this week.

Aside from the one shot I took at the Suzanne Vega show earlier this week, my camera didn’t come out again until the end of the week.

Saturday afternoon, a friend and I went to pick up our triathlon race packets, go to the expo, and rack our bikes. Yep, there’s a good chance I’m racing right now if you’re reading on Sunday morning!

I’ve trained well this summer, and I feel ready. I hope my body agrees!

After a long drive, we’re home again. All of my photos are from our fantastic week at the beach!

We’ve been staying on the Pamlico Sound (North Carolina’s Outer Banks) for a few years now, but that night was the first time we’ve ever seen the sun reach the horizon. There’s usually clouds/haze that make it vanish early. It was our last night of vacation, and it ended perfectly.

Now that I’m back home … I’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

July 20-26, 2008

Hooray for vacation!

We had a very long day of driving, but it was worth it. Here are photos from day one.

And now for my favorite part … the sunsets.

I have a feeling it’s going to be tough picking winners next week!
