(8/23/08) Kyle's second-year cohort welcomed the new grad students with a camping trip. Key ingredients for a good time: hula hoops, tequila, carpoiera, string instruments, and a paper bag drink game.

Strawberry Fields Triathlon

(7/21/08) In July we decided it was time to try a triathlon. After a major mishap at the Ritz in Marina Del Rey, we ended up with brand new bikes for the race. Despite not training much, it was a great first experience. The open water ocean swim was incredibly rough, especially for two people who had never done an open water swim before, but we both did pretty well on that leg (in new wetsuits). Kyle had some bike trouble but ended up finishing well despite it, Kelly was stunned by how hard the run was after the swim and bike and vowed to train more, and we both finished looking forward to doing another one. (And we had great supporters and photographers - Caitlin and Brad!)
