Surviving Ironman

Well, here it is almost November and we're just now posting a recap of the craziness that was Ironman.  And embarrassingly this is our first post since August.  Needless to say, Ironman took a lot of time and energy from us.  But it was a fantastic success with some really great moments.  Here's a sample of some of the photos we took over the course of Ironman week.

Even though she wasn't racing, Chrissie Wellington was still in town and spent some time at the Cannondale tent by the store.

Although we didn't make it to the finish line at night, it was great to see so many local triathletes during the course of the race.  Congratulations to all of them on a great job! Also, special thanks to John Ferdico, Alexandra Herd, and Erica and Ryan Speegle for putting in a lot of long hours and hard work over the course of the week to keep the store running and the sales coming.  And thanks to a great crew of volunteers who helped make the Pro Fluids aid stations a success for the second year in a row.

Now the town has quieted down and it's time to get back to normal.  But I'm sure it will be October and Ironman time again before we know it!
