2005 was the first time I had traveled out to Cali to race in Oceanside at the half-Ironman. My brother Hans was out there with me too, as he was on spring break and hanging out in Palm Springs (pic from Ocean Beach).
Emily closed the doors on our Boulder house, our memorable Colorado lifestyle, packed up the car with Thor and Izzy and drove out to Cali last weekend. She was born further up north in Walnut Creek when her Dad was captaining ships out of Benecia in the Bay Area (pic of Emmy topping the climb up Sunshine Mtn at 9,000+ feet).
Currently we are living with Kendra, Emily's sister, in Mission Valley but forge ahead with our search for a place to lay our stake out here.
