Sharon and I went up to Wildflower together with our bikes on a nifty hitch-mounted bicycle rack. Which was good because her Escape was filled to near-capacity with our (or rather, mainly her) camping stuff!

This "stuff" even included... a doormat!!! "So that I don't track mud into the car, like last year," Sharon explained. LOL, it's hard not to love this gal...

Phil, Danita, Lawrence, Laura, JC and Phil were already there and their campsites set up. I stayed in my blue Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight tent in the back.

For lunch, we had Sharon's macaroni-and-tuna specialty and some (unintentionally soupy) brown rice I made the night before that was certainly not my specialty. Oh and grapes...

For dinner we made colorful salads and bbq'd some stuff on a portable grill. All of this seemed really luxurious compared to my typically barebones camping style!

In the afternoon I went out to a swim clinic to get a 2-minute swim stroke critique by a dude from Finis (who was *really good* about recommending a whole bunch of Finis products to everyone in his critiques :)) and to meet Peter Reid, last year's Hawaii Ironman champion.

Due to the large number of photos, only the first 6 are shown. View photo album or slideshow.
