CDA Send Off

Prior to our departure to Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, we celebrated the continued taper with a 3 hour bike ride on the Peninsula, touring about Woodside, Portola Valley and Palo Alto.

Dian, me, Chris and Phil, a New Yorker transplanted in San Francisco for the summer, headed out La Canada road for our adventure. It was to be our last rides on our bikes, as we had to drop them off later in the day to Tri Bike Transport for their journey to Idaho.

It was so nice to catch up with Dian, as it had been a long while since we had had the opportunity to chat. Chris and Phil had fun as well, which we celebrated post ride with some dim sum. YUMMY.

In the evening, Rangsiwan and Sam hosted a wonderful send off for those of us headed to CDA. It was so much fun to get together with friends from the triathlon club. Chris and I both had a wonderful time. When we were leaving there was a photo op and I seriously felt like we were being stalked by the paparazzi! There were so many flashes going off at once. It mad me laugh.

Thank you to all of those who sent us off... I felt spoiled.
