At first just and i were not looking forward to getting up so early to do the triathlon. but once we got there, got suited up, and had some starbucks we were good to go. we drove out to our post which happened to be close to judys house, which was a nice perk. we got set up and learned where the bikers were going to be coming from. then randy showed up to join our post. he fit right in. we made him an honorary damsel for the day. he was a lot of fun. he was chasing cars and dancing along with me to keep entertained. we also got a lot of laughs from the bikers along with thank-you's for keeping them in good spirits. i couldnt believe how many bikers thanked us just for suppoting them and stopping traffic. luckily we only lost one biker despite all of our signs, but we got him turned around and all was well. when the last biker had passed our stop we drove behind him for support. then we took a short cut back to tipton lakes so we could get set up to cheer him on the the finish line. his name is chris donnelly and we thought he was amazing. he never gave up and we think that is amazing! i think this is an event i will try to be a part of with or without the help of the amazing race!
