Highlights:
- Dropped some weight, picked a beautiful, flat course and got lucky as the heat held off for the first 15-18 miles; finally got back down into the 3:30’s
- Perfect accommodations on Flathead Lake, ideal lake vacation weather and plenty of ways for the kids to keep busy
- Day trip to Glacier National Park where Luke, Dylan, Marge, Bill and Shannon all endured bear warnings and a much harder than advertised 4 mile hike so we could have lunch at Avalanche Lake
Low-lights:
- Visit to the Drummond Rodeo lead to Luke and Dylan recreating the scene with me playing the part of the bucking bronco
- Couldn’t get anyone to join me for any of my sunrise hikes, runs or dock-sittings
- Could have been a little bit cooler on race day
Thanks:
- To Shannon, Luke and Dylan for enduring yet another lengthy air / car travel excursion like true pros
- To Bill and Marge for making this whole trip possible and for enduring another lengthy air / car travel excursion with two small children
- To John and Peg for their airport shuttle and dog-sitting services
