On the limited occasions I'm down in the States, it's nice that sometimes it works out for a well timed photoshoot...on my way home from a weekend in Portland on Canada Day 2013 in this case. A crowded Seattle beach and quite windy but happy with the results. Other than a possible brief meeting at the time of her 'Bikini' Class win at the 2012 Washington Ironman, didn't really know Michele but had a good sense that she'd do well in front of the camera.
