These two pictures are not of Joanna, but it is a fond memory spent with her and Dennis. These pictures are from a pre-Wharf-to-Wharf sushi dinner we all had at my little apartment in Los Gatos the night before the race, a 6 mile fun run that spans from Santa Cruz ending in Capitola. I believe this was in July 1989. Dennis was big into jogging and I did a little myself. We had all signed up for the WTW race. Dennis and Joanna stayed at my place because it was a heck of a lot closer to Santa Cruz than Livermore. I think I made the sushi – there was certainly plenty of it. As any runner can attest, this is NOT the type of meal you should have the night before a race! Mostly protein and beer, with a little rice and salad thrown in for good measure. I remember feeling pretty lousy after the race. I think Dennis and Joanna slept fairly poorly on my futon as well. But it was the first in the tradition of many WTW’s followed by a post-race picnic on Capitola beach with champagne and goodies. Fun times and great memories!
