Jill and Lori |
This weekend was a fine one for the triBE and friends. In Baldwin Park, Jill Cousins did her first
full tri and Lori Hoover was back again this year along with Donna Walker. Sara and Jonathan Gray were out at Jekyll
Island doing their first full tri. Each
can probably tell you stories about their training and race. Jill can regale you with the tale of a practice
tri in the rain with a swim in a pool where she had to duck under lane
lines. (Um what??) Lori can explain how her bike was stolen a week
before the race and her new one arrived on Thursday, and despite the chaos, she
was 2nd in her age group! And Donna was
out there in her knee brace again this year, unsure whether she could run at
all, but finishing strong, second in her age group as well! I have yet to talk to Sara and Jonathan, but
I am sure they too have some stories to share about their first tri journey.

It was such pleasure to see my friends and not a few
students compete this weekend. I ran
into acquaintances from other teams volunteering in transition, and I was again
struck by this tight little triathlon family that we all are a part of here in
Central Florida. I was reminded of why I
still race once again, and I’d like to take some time to write up a decent post
on my thoughts on this later in the week, so for now I let these pictures stand
as testament to the happy day that we shared.

Congratulations to all that raced this weekend. As always, your journey inspires me.
