I took the day off from the computer yesterday. Kind of had to. T, R and I volunteered at an Aid/Water station for the Ironman Triathalon yesterday. We were there from noon - 5 pm. It was very hot and hard work, but watching all those athletes really humbled us. I felt bad when they would say "thanks for being out here!" We'd just holler back "Great work, Keep it up" and other encouraging things. For those who might not know an Ironman Triathalon is a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 (yes, one hundred and twelve) mile bike ride, followed by a 26.2 mile run!!!! Unbelievable, Amazing.......
We were on the bike route. Miles 51 and 82, so this is what we saw all day. 
Here is last year's winner (Check out that time!)Anyway, after all our hard work, we treated ourselves to a Mexican dinner and then got some ice cream and sundae fixings to bring home to the rest of our crew!
Now, back to doing absolutely nothing. I have spent the morning catching up on blogs that I missed yesterday. And, guess what?!?! I got an award! I can't believe it...my first blogging award!

Now, I'm going to try to follow the rules, but I've got a couple of crazy days ahead. It may be later this week before I can keep the thing going.
I'm very impressed that you volunteered your time to hand out water to the athletes. That was a really great thing to do!
