Westsound - Port Townsend 

Several Team Survivor Northwest - Westsound / Port Townsend members participated in the Seattle Danskin Triathlon on August 18-19, 2007. Donations to help support TSNW are greatly appreciated. You will have an opportunity to specify the name of a specific athlete to sponsor and/or make a general donation to the Triathlon Training Team. Since Seattle is the center of the population in Puget Sound, almost all TSNW members and donors are greater-Seattle-area based, and thus almost all the formal programs are held on that side. The TSNW-PT members depend on the Seattle office for administrative support. If you donate to sponsor any of the TSNW Westsound / Port Townsend athletes, please let them know. If we receive enough donations, we may be able to have some of the trainer-led exercise programs on this side of Puget Sound.

Walk/Hike - Port Gamble

A fast walk/ hiking group, the WestSound Walking Group/Survivor Striders meets on Wednesday afternoons in Port Gamble to walk / hike along the old logging trails that the Olympic Property Group (a Pope Resources Company) has opened for public access. Thank You OPG!

Meet between the General Store and the Post Office at noon. We normally plan to finish between 2 and 3 pm, but the length of the walk depends on the preferences of the day's walkers. Coordination ahead of time (via the private Yahoo group) is highly recommended.

The Port Gamble Walk/Hike has two components. The first part may be done at a slower pace and on more level ground. We usually pick up the pace and go up some inclines on the remainder of the walk, which is why it is described as a walk / hike.

Also, these trails can have some muddy areas (which we can usually skirt) after a good rain. It's not a problem, just be aware of it when selecting your shoes.

The total distance covered and length of time spent hiking varies depending on the needs of the day's participants. People have the option of walking the first segment only depending on how strong they feel and what their time constraints are.
