Ok, so it's not a RR, but I just had to say I got to volunteer and watch the pros/elites race today. http://www.boathousetriathlon.org/
We've never had anything like this in OKC, but hopefully it'll be back for the next couple years.
It was AMAZING!!!! My friend, Amanda Stevens, is a pro and I finally got to see her race with her pro "peeps". Matt Reed chose me for his hydration needs on the 2nd loop of the run course, I met Dave Scott (IM legend), and got to see Hunter Kemper's butt oh so many times. :D:D:D:D
It was the coolest day ever! It's the closest I'll ever come to being a pro- handing water to them in transition. ;) Every one of them were SOOO nice and down to earth (NOT like a pro in any other sport: basketball, baseball, football). We decided since they make so little money, it keeps them grounded. :)
Just had to share. The age groupers race the same course tomorrow, and although I'm not racing this year, I'll be out there wetsuit stripping.
Triathlon is so great!!!
