Colorado races.

Longmont Triathlon was a success. I mean that in a way that nothing bad happened. People swam, biked, then ran. I couldn't see any of the race except when people were in the pool. For some reason, pool races are almost more exciting because they are so spectator friendly. There was a kids triathlon the day before and I had a lot fo fun there. Our booth was placed next to the bouncy castle so the younger kids would do their triathlon and then bounce for hours. I like to eat and lay down after racing.
The following week, we had Tri For Your Cause in Boulder. There, I met Jennifer. She raised over $3,000 for her charity. She had a great swim which she credited to her goggles and wetsuit. She came into transition and had a flat tire. The team at Full Cycle got her on her way very quickly. Unfortunately, she got another flat at mile 10 of her 17 mile bike. Refusing to quit, she rode it all the way back to T2. Then she ran knowing that she was going to finish her race. She showed amazing determination and he is hero to many people.
