Friday pre-race

Getting coffee this morning, I observed a couple people wearing Irvine jackets, and I knew that's where Steve's friend Seth was going to grad school. After I poked the girl in the arm and totally weirded her out, the guy was like "Uh, actually, Seth is in the bathroom right now and will be out in a second. How do you know him?" I said "Oh, we got drunk in undergrad." The guy was like "Typical."

We chatted a while about the course and then got back to getting our stuff ready. I was flying solo most of the day as Meghan headed over to the state park nearby for some hiking. Got another massage from the ART folk, who are amazing. There's a guy there names Mark that will twist you in all sorts of incredible ways. It was also really interesting listening to him teach the other sports therapists and chiropractors all the ways they should troubleshoot people's bodies. Totally impressed.

Blogger deleted my pictures on Friday, so I'm finally re-uploading them now (which is technically Monday) but I didn't have time to post Saturday or Sunday.
