Another notch can be added to my Ski to Sea belt. It was a long day, but the team was able to weather through it and had a good showing. I may not be able to walk today, but it is worth the pain to be part of such an event in Bellingham. Hey, it was featured in USA Today. The team skied (cross country and downhill), ran, biked, canoed, maintained biked and kayaked from Mt. Baker to the Bellingham Bay. The day started at 5am, because the road to the mountain closed at 7am.
The first 3 legs of the race start from Mt. Baker Lodge.
It was great to have the company of my other team members while I waited for my run.
The starting line. Where's Megan??
Climb up, ski down. Jake after his leg.
The start of my run. 7.5 miles downhill + 0.5 uphill = jello legs.

This year we had some friendly competition: Rask. She formed a team after supporting us last year. 
Look at that stud, WadeO. 
A couple the sweats together, stays together.
During the race there is a huge festival in Fairhaven at the finish line. We headed down there to get a couple beers from the beer-garden, say hello to some friends, and eat a hot dog while we waited for our kayaker to come in. Wade really wanted Amelia to go into the jumpy house. I thought she may be too little, but she proved me wrong. She held her own and was VERY sad when it was time to get out. A huge thanks to my parents for coming up and spending the day with her. We couldn't have participated without you.
Some of "Wasted Talent" at the end Please notice that I am mom of the year in this picture. Earlier Amelia got her pants wet and dirty. Due to a misunderstanding, no clean clothes were packed. She became a flasher by wearing only her raincoat and diaper (yes...in the rainy weather).
