After getting in some nice evening runs on the lake as the sun set and a few days of climbing we made our way over to Santa Cruz. On the way we had a great lunch with Emily Campagna and met a friend at the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield which I would recommend to anyone going through this area. It is conveniently located right off the freeway at the interchange of highways 80 and 505. The tour was great and who does not like some free Jelly Bellies. By Saturday we were with friends in Monterey sailing around the bay with more surprisingly nice weather.
This is Jasmine's major advisor Captain, and Dr., Greg Cailliet, with Zach and Barrett behind him.
Lou took his turn sailing the boat too. He expertly kept us clear of the sail boats that were racing that day and smoothly tacked to keep the race in view.Before we left Santa Cruz for San fran jasmine was able to pic up her edited thesis (with minimal edits, good job jaz, wahoo!) and I stepped on the track in an attempt to run a personal best in the mile. When I came across the line I had run one second faster than my PR. I was hoping for more but I was still very pleased.
Thats the synopsis of another awesome week on the road. We are looking forward to heading back north. By next weekend we will be in Seattle for Nikki's, jasmine's sister, fundraiser relay race and then we have our first unscheduled days of our trip. Where will we go, what will we do? We do not have the slightest clue but I am sure it will be great. What a nice thought.
