Track!

We went to the Pre Classic last Sunday. It was a great meet. Jenny Barringer ran a collegiate record 1500m (3:59) and nearly took the win. Bernard Lagat won the 3k against some great competition, always nice to see him do well. Some guy jumped the longest long jump since 1990.

The weather was nice, mostly overcast and not too hot; great for a track meet. We were seated in section B, row 28 – pretty close to the finish line but way up in the stands. Overall it was a pretty good seat although there were a couple of support beams in the way. Also, we were pretty much right under the NBC broadcaster’s box… one reason we went to the meet was to avoid having to hear them! Oh well. We were just a few rows beneath Phil Knight, but we didn’t go say hi.

We’re thinking of going camping a couple times this summer, and we’re thinking about climbing the South Sister. Sounds like fun!

Harpy Barthday to my brother David today!

In closing, here’s a picture of tonight’s sunset:
