Altitude Does That

Pike's Peak view

Here we are atop Pikes Peak on a weekend trip to Colorado Springs for the Pikes Peak Open badminton tournament in 2003 . We brought home bronze medals for C mixed doubles. I didn’t do so well in singles. I felt unusually dizzy and fatigued. Altitude does that. A week later two pink lines explained it all! Yes, my first child ascended a mountain and won a medal before I even knew she was with me. Wow, that was 3 kids ago…
