Weekend of Firsts

First time in Door County!

We had never been to Door County and although the season is just beginning there, we arrived to find many of the establishments open for business. We had dinner at the Wild Tomato Wood-Fired Pizza and Grille and breakfast at Julies Park Cafe and Motel both highly recommended.

First weekend of Camping for the Year!

Although we ate out a few times, we roughed it camping in Penninsula State Park. Well, it wasn't like we were really roughing it. We had electric to heat up our tea in the morning and were able to plug in the heated mattress pad for the back of the truck. The bathroom and shower facilities were very near to the campsite. I would probably say, these were the best accomodations we've ever had camping.

First attempt and completion of the Door County Half Marathon!

Our time wasn't the best, (Sugs and I ran together), but we finished and we weren't last. The best part was running accross the finish line at the end in under the goal of 3 hours, check out the results. Sue B. and Lynne S. from the bike team did the race too, in awesome finishing times (2:17 and 2:21). Here were my Ipod sensor results-I started it a while before our race started, but I still need to calibrate it. It's off in distance.

The worst part which still wasn't awful, was some of the pain during the run. Like I said on facebook, this is one of those times I had to say to myself " Suck it up, buttercup?<> and move through it. Although, I feel pretty much like pre race condition and hopefully, not adding further insult to the hip injury that I had 1 1/2 weeks before the race.

Would we do it again? It's May 1st, 2010. Put it on the schedule baby!

Here are some of the pics of us here and if we ever get our pics off of our cell phones we'll post some more.....Of course, what did we forget on the trip? The Camera.
