San Diego Road Trip

May 9th-13th, 2012

ITU World Triathlon San Diego

I took a little break from the everyday grind to go support my friend, Paul, who was doing his first Olympic distant triathlon. Our friend, Jonathan, also joined us on this fun little road trip. While we were there, we also watched the women's and men's pro races as well for the Olympic qualifications.

One of the stops along the way was Alien Fresh Jerky in Baker, CA.


Making peace with the aliens.

I wanted to know what aliens tasted like... Yup, tastes like beef jerky!
