Every year, Seattle hosts Seafair, the summer celebration. It goes on for about a month and each weekend there are different events around the Seattle area for everyone to participate in. Earlier this month I was able to catch the milk carton boat races at Greenlake. It was a very interesting competition and one that was full of creativity. This morning, however, I woke up at the crack of dawn and headed down to Seward Park to watch my brother compete in the Seafair Triathlon. While you only see people for a very short amount of time, it was fun to be in the crowd and spirits were high as people were cheering on all the competitors and not just people they knew. It was also very inspiring to see the different types of people that came out for the race this year from 12 years of age to 50+. My brother asked if I would do it this year, but to be honest it was a little intimidating to think about. But after watching the race, it seems like a really fun thing to do and accomplish. That being said, you can catch me training for next years race! There is still lots more Seafair coming up including the Torchlight Parade (one of the top 5 best parades in the country!) and of course the hydroplane races on Lake Washington.
