Nice job in Nice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A literal change of pace this week, as we’re in Nice, France for a race, the Ironman 70.3 World Championships and, as always, some other adventures. You can read previous triathlon race reports here.Race WeekSaturday, a week before race day, we leave Seattle on a night flight to London Heathrow Airport. Staggering bleary eyed off the plane, we manage to ignore not one, not two, but at least three very clear signs stating, “Connecting flights, all terminals, this way,” and instead pass through im
Looking for home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leaving and starting over in search of a place to call home has been the story of my life, from England to the Netherlands to New Jersey and finally to Washington State.

Riding the Hurricane (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We head back to the Olympic Peninsula for another bike ride, this time an organized ride called Ride the Hurricane, a sea-to-summit ride of twenty miles and five thousand feet from Port Angeles, WA, up to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, with the road closed to cars for the morning. Unplanned joys include a former dam and a banned book display.Friday, we board a late afternoon ferry from Coupeville to Port Townsend on a beautiful sunny day, auspiciously the first to board.<a class="imag
