The weekend of August 4th & 5th, I took a little time to cheer on one tri and volunteer at another. Saturday morning I went to meet up with Mary & Brian at the Boulder Res where we normally do our races, but today was a day for the kids. Poor Madeline was sick and had to as she told me 'sit this one out' (precious), I mean it would have been year three for her, so she was good!!! However, her little sister who she trained so well, stayed strong and did her first ever triathlon alone just 7 days before turning 3 - (yes 3 & age on the calf was the proof - ha). I could not be more proud to be Amelia's godmother and see her doing this event. I think the pics speak for themselves. Amelia has officially joined her big sister and is an IronKid 2012 :-)
Sunday I then spent the day out cheering on those doing the half ironman and boy o boy will I say thank you 10x's more than I already do to those volunteers on the course when race!! It was a hot day and those athletes did not give up. I handed out that water as quick as I could and enjoyed every minimute of being on the other side helping others!!
Don't worry I didn't bail on training ALL weekend - Mary and I did manage to get a 60+ mile ride in after Amelia finished her triathlon... so still trucking along for the big day!!!
