Entry #3 - October 17, 2012

A workout in the rain. The Northwest weather is back. With a change in the weather, a spirit of the Portland team is brought back to life. Friday we had a stellar workout in the rain and mud. The team slips around the cones that Ian has precisely measured for the workout loop.           
 
A majority of the team raced the next day at Lents Park.  Merel took the lead and came in strong with a W! Merel also had a special fan for this race: her sister from the Netherlands.  Andrea and Tori also had amazing races that everyone was excited to see.
 
Now it is fall break, one of the major perks of fall time at University of Portland. We get an entire we off! This means time with the team and without school. The daily routine: practice and going to the Commons to eat. Everyone is excited about the additional meal points to spend over the break in the Commons. Slaine, Tansey, and Merel all have siblings that are visiting over the break with the team planning daily excursions: hiking Multnomah Falls, pumpkin patch day, shopping, Saturday market, and playing downtown.
