Over and Done

Road trip Day # 13 - It's amazing what a few days of rest can do for the body.  Considering how thoroughly wrecked I was on Sunday night, I feel great.  My quads are a little fatigued and my back is still in knots, but those are the only physical remnants of Sunday's Ironman.  It's almost sad.  After all those months of training, planning, and obsessing, it's just over.  Sigh.

But now it's time for the fun part of our road trip.  Now it's time to play.  We've crossed the border and are back in the states, exploring the Olympic Penninsula.  We spent last night at Dungeness Forks campground, tucked back into the Olympic National Forest.  Today we're headed south to Wynoochee Lake, and are praying the rain lets up.  It's beautiful out here, but wetter than wet.  The peninsula is certainly living up to it's reputation.  All we can do now is hope for the best and, possibly, a break in the clouds.  A little blue sky would go a long way...
