Off topic I know. Rain is a good thing. Nine miles end to end, Redoubt Lake with a double rainbow, which reminds of the double rainbow that I swam with in the North Sea. Redoubt is the lake in Kris's photo a few posts back that has Camel Mountain (?) in the background. Click once on Kris's photo for a good size image, then click that image to see it at full size. ok, community service announcement over. back to race logisitcs ... (ya know, it's pretty simply. hike in, take off your clothes, put on a cap and goggles, swim, dry off, put your clothes back on, have a bite to eat, hike out)
