Adventures of a Triathlete and Open Water Swimmer. Saturday, May 24, 2008. Swimming at Barton Springs in Austin, TX. Still in Austin.and this morning I had a wonderful and refreshing swim at the. I swam the length of the pool four times and the water temperature was absolutely perfect. The air temperature, not so perfect. It feels like your average July day back home in DC.hot and humid! Friday, May 23, 2008. Sometimes it just doesn't matter what you are wearing. I'm headed back to the pool tomorrow.

Adventures of a Triathlete and Open Water Swimmer...: Hawaii Day 3- The 1/2 Ironman had to be cancelled
http://julieoplinger.blogspot.com/2008/12/we-still-cant-swim-in-ocean-because-of.html
Adventures of a Triathlete and Open Water Swimmer. Saturday, December 13, 2008. Hawaii Day 3- The 1/2 Ironman had to be cancelled. We STILL can't swim in the ocean because of the heavy rain here. I have accepted the fact that I will not get in an open water swim here in Hawaii on this trip. And the local pool is closed because the heater is broken and the water is only 75 degrees. Fine with me, but I guess when you have been living here for a while this weather and water temp is "cold". QUOTE OF THE WEEK.

Joanne's Blog: Vacation 2010 Starts off With a Trip to Seattle

Monday, September 13, 2010. Vacation 2010 Starts off With a Trip to Seattle. You can never go wrong with a visit to lifelong friends. Even though I met Jessica my freshman year in college, which is technically only about 1/2 my life at this point, she seems like a lifelong friend. And given that we are on different coasts, we don't get to see each other near enough! The highlight was tea at The Empress Hotel - where believe it or not - they have a Gluten Free Tea (they better for the $62 price tag!

Sunday, September 20, 2009. Oregon - The Not So Good Part. What was I thinking. I keep asking myself that over and over and over again, and all I can tell you is that signing up for Cycle Oregon was clearly a lapse in judgment. Clearly, I should have done more research beforehand. It sounded like it would be so much fun! Who wouldn't want to ride their bike 400 miles around Oregon for a week? We were signing up for the "Tent and Porter" service so that somebody else set up and took down our tent each day!

Joanne's Blog: The Trip of a Lifetime
http://keepupwithjoanne.blogspot.com/2010/09/trip-of-lifetime.html
Thursday, September 16, 2010. The Trip of a Lifetime. When Marj and I were researching what to do in Alaska, every adventure claimed it was "the trip of a lifetime." A great marketing message that clearly worked on us, as we tried to cram as many "trips of a lifetime" as we could into 2 weeks. Today was our kayaking "trip of a lifetime!

Thursday, September 16, 2010. What a spectacular day on the Kenai River! After breakfast at the B&B chatting with some salty old fisherman about how obviously we were responsible for the gorgeous weather, and getting outfitted in chest waders, (definitely not as glamorous as the riding gear) we climbed in a drift boat w/our guide Paul for a day of fishing. And she wasn't even trying! We were just drifting under a bridge and barely paying attention when she got a bite! It was so maddening! Paul said he'd ...
