Mt. Marathon with Patti

Patti's 2nd to last day in Seward. We went up Mt. Marathon with a bunch of folks that hadn't gone up to the top yet, or had never been on the race trail: Beaté, Mandy, Cindy, Ian, Jessica & Patti.

gorgeous, hot day. the flowers were incredible that day

view from 1/2 way

stop to smell the flowers

so close to the top!

Ian, the President & CEO at work, showing off his descent skills.

dirty butts. now Patti knows why I was so dirty after the race

here's video that Ian took of me coming down



on the last day in Seward we went to the sealife center for some time with the birds. A lone spectacled eider duckling hatched this year. She's trying to make it with Patti. :)
Had a great time with Patti! anyone else want to come up for a visit and sign up for AK boot camp, let me know! although it will be a different version next summer - Fairbanks style. Will involve dodging mosquitoes.
