Another race, another baby helped for a year! YAHOO! Donations are adding up, thanks to friends and family, and Moe's Southwest Grill for letting people eat good food for a good cause for a day before each race! I am so proud of myself for completing my 3rd Tri.... For Amani!! The Kure Beach Double Sprint Triathlon was a cool setup- 374 meter ocean swim, then 1.5 mile run to the bike, a 12 mile bike, then back on with the sneaks for the 1.5 mile run back to the ocean and then the same swim repeated with a sprint to the finish line..... in the sand! Perhaps the coolest part (other than the locals who generously hosed us down with garden hoses as we ran by!) was having friends and family there at every transition. Emmy and Pete (from LA!) were at every start and finish of each component, and the Tutino family and my children were all there with our favorite Blackwells at the finish line. What a feeling!
Now, the plot is thickening, just as the heat is on- literally and figuratively. I don't know what I've gotten myself into but on July 31st I will compete in an Olympic distance triathlon which is a mile swim, 28mile bike, then a 6.2 mile run in my old hometown of Little Washington. I am terrified! But I will be with 11 of my favorite ladies who are also racing, and I will just remember that I am racing for those darling faces in Kenya. TriForAmani!!!
Do you think that since I am doubling the distance we could double the support? Could we take care of 2 babies with this race???? Let's try it! Send in your donation today!
