oooh dear, I am so far behind.
seamus's race was very fun. she was amazing. she got out into the water early and did some warming up. she had on her floaties and was splashing around. they lined the kids up on the beach and sent them into the water 2 at a time. i think this was a good idea especially for the little kids.
seamus did the whole swim and jumped out of the water and ran super fast to transition. she changed into her biking gear and then was off on the bike. she was sooo fast! it was fun to cheer her on and all the other kids. the entrance to the transition area was kind of confusing because the kids were still working on going out on their extra laps and some were finishing. seamus crashed and skinned her knee. 
she was done with the bike. so she went back into transition. both eric and i told her i was ok if she wanted to stop. but she wanted to run! eric did a quick job of cleaning off her knee and then she and i were off! and she was so fast i could barely keep up. after crossing the beach we had to dump the sand out of her sandals. then i asked her if she wanted me to run the rest with her or if she wanted to head out by herself. 
she wanted to go by herself so i sent her and she did it! she ran with all those other kids up and around and through the finish line! she is amazing!the next morning eric and i got up to go run the NW Trail Runs race at soaring eagle park. I did the 5 miler and eric did the 10. i was pretty happy with how i ran but thought I would have been faster and apparently i was beat by a 10 yr old girl. eric won the overall for the 10 miler. I don't know how he does it.
Monday was a rest day and tuesday was the LUNA trail run. I had a ton of fun that evening and kept having to remind myself to slow it down. I was supposed to take it easy in order to get ready for the weekend race.
I typed up a 6 page race report that I'll post here soon. it will be here faster than you know it and since its soooo long it will take you days to go through it!
