Van 1 - Canada Border Bound! They let me drive.

Our caravan of madness headed north mid-afternoon Thursday. This year, the team opted for hotel rooms instead of camping out at Casa Wright. My brother and his wife would have totally hosted us again....but after last year, we all decided that sleeping in an actual bed was better for us old folk than sleeping on the ground the night before a 30+hour relay. Good call team. 

Pre-relay carbo-loading done right. Pizza FTW!

Van 2 made much better time this year; they are mostly our South Sound (Bremerton) folks so they had a ferry ride added to the trip. Which, added to the mad traffic they got stuck in on the way up last year meant we didn't get a team dinner. Really glad we got to this year. Once we were sufficiently loaded up, we called it a night. Well, most of us did.

Everyone was in the same hotel except Norman and I....

so they had a team toast. With Fireball of course; 

it is the official team beverage after all.
