Welcome to Seattle!

After another long day of travel, we arrived safe and sound with our bikes in Seattle, the birthplace of Starbucks!

Yesterday was hectic as we had an early morning interview with A-Channel's Kurt Stoodley. Kurt has been actively interested in our venture, and it was nice to meet with him and talk about how things have been going since our first interview back in February.

We went straight from the studio to work, worked a full day then headed to the airport for our 17h00 flight. Our scheduled 3 hour lay-over in Chicago turned into a 4.5 hour lay-over due to crew delays, and we did not reach the comforts of our hotel room until 1h30 Friday, or 4h30 our time. We must have been spoiled by our intercontinental flights because we were not prepared for the limited service offered by UA on a 4 hour flight. We received 1 drink, and both of us had yet to eat since lunch! Needless to say, we went to bed a tad hungry. In the future we'll have to be sure that we pack nutrition bars into our carry-on luggage.

It's July 4th, and we do not head up to Everett (the host town of the Lake Stevens 70.3) until tomorrow so we have a bit of time to "vacation". We've already enjoyed a Starbuck's latte and are now looking forward to taking in some of the sights and festivities.

We'll drop a note tomorrow once we've checked in and have more details about Sunday.

Happy Independence Day!
