It was Fun. It was Real. It was really fun.

When I heard that the Donner Triathlon had been canceled for this year. I was left scrambling to make weekend plans. The Death Ride and Downieville Classic mountain bike race were both on Saturday. But I decided to skip both of those and head down for a weekend full of triathlons in Ranch Seco, CA. Nate and I raced Tri for Fun on Saturday and Tri For Real on Sunday. Although we were among only a few to race both days I finished 2nd and he finished 4th in the 25-29 age group each day.

Live from Rothbury 2008

Its day 2 of Rothbury Music Festival and I'm hanging out watching Widespread Panic at the Odeum, the biggest stage where 311 and Snoop Dogg played earlier today. Jakob Dylan was a great kickoff for today's shows. The venue is a big ranch with 4 main stages, a lake and a huge field for camping and parking. I swam in the lake yesterday. It was warm but very murky and shallow with a layer of plant growth just above the slimy mud bottom.
It stays light here until well after 9:30 so we're thinking that there might be a fireworks show around 10 tonight.
Can't wait to see Citizen Cope, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, and State Radio tomorrow.
