I have tried two times in the last two years to get to Oregon for a race. Both times bad weather and delayed or cancelled flights have made it impossible. This week and for the third time I will try again. I have an early flight which bodes well for summer storms and a direct flight in Seattle which is more predictable. My friend Ann (the one responsible for getting me into this sport in the first place) will meet me and drive me to Oregon. Keep crossed fingers that I will claim Oregon as my 46th state this time next week. The way I see it.... third time's a charm!
