Subject: Did my fourth sprint ever today ! I am excited and sad as I have now done one race a month since I foud this crazy sport in July; and now find myself without an upcoming race that I can likely do. There are a couple races coming up in November and December in Arizona but they are quite far away.
The race I did today was the "Kate Kimberley Foundation Indoor Triathlon". Kate is an inspirational 26 yr old who broke her back after falling off a cliff while skiing. She organized this triathlon (her 3rd ) and uses the money raised to get other recently injured wheelchair bound people into sports.
The race was excellent, but not highly publicized, with only eighty participants. I hope that everyone from Colorado and others nearby can come out and support this awesome race next year or at least look at this cause which has a local face and make a donation. |
