Just returned from a masters track meet in Seattle, where Rebecca participated in the 100- and 200-meter races. Now that she's in a new age group, Becky achieved an All-American time in the 200-meter by running the race in 34 seconds.We kicked around the Pike Place Market for awhile when we arrived on Friday and then enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner and a spectacular view of Elliott Bay at Anthony's on the pier. After dinner, we proceeded to our hotel room at a Travelodge in University Village near Husky Stadium on the University of Washington campus.
On Saturday, we arrived early at the West Seattle Stadium so that Becky could become acclimated to the track. She had one race in the morning and one in the afternoon; in between, I spent my time (and money) in the REI in downtown Seattle (BTW, I love Seattle but not the traffic; it's the kind of place where you can get a dirty look for only going 10 miles an hour over the posted speed limit).
After the meet, we spent some time with Rebecca's niece, Jesseca Brand, husband Adam Porad and their two kids. Later we all went out for dinner (sans kids) at a fabulous Indian restaurant in the U-District.
