Ski To Sea 2008

This is the second year my husband has participated in this event. The first time was in 2001 and we was approached by a guy at the gym he went to. He completed the cross country event. This year he was asked by our friends Ray & Lisa, whom we know through volleyball. Lisa's employer was sponsoring a team and they needed someone to ski the downhill portion for them this year. Ray was doing the running leg. So Martin agreed to be their snowboarder. Not a lot of people like this portion as most of this leg consists of hiking up the hill rather than skiing/boarding down. just like the first time Martin practiced (once) on the run and then showed up ready to go.

The team did really well considering they were just a bunch of average guys, with the exception of the cross country skier, who apparently is a pro. This guy manged to finagle them a really good positron out of the starting gate and the rest of the boys performed well also.

After the race the company (Lucid Consulting) even put on a BBQ for the racers and their families. What a great weekend...
