Starting the 5K at yesterday's sprint triathlon in Longmont.

It’s been a busy week for me since receiving use of our teams Ford Flex.  In the last 6 days, I attended 4 events using the vehicle and had stellar reviews of it each time! 
 
On May 18, 4 days after getting the Flex, I performed a brief presentation on Timex and the Global Trainer to my dad’s rotary group in Shoreview, MN during our drive home from picking up the car in Milwaukee.  The group of 15 people loved the fact that their past presidents son was driving a car with his own picture on it.  There were some triathletes in the group as well that tried on the Global Trainer and were delighted by it’s size and weight.  
 
Back home, two days later on May 20th, I performed a kids bike safety clinic with 14 girls from my sister-in-laws Brownie troop here in Highlands Ranch.  We went over rules of the road, hand signals, signs, etc.  I had Ryan from our local Orbea dealer, Adrenalin Cycles, bring his team truck so he did a safety check on each kids bike.  Each girl got their own Ironkids goodie bag, Powerbars, and three lucky girls got their own Ironkids watch!   

A Happy Brownie Troop!

Saftey first!

Don't hit the cars!

 
On Saturday, we had a great ride at Wheat Ridge Cyclery as a clinic set up by Barry (see his write up here) and on Sunday I raced Longmont’s Summer OPEN Triathlon with my teammate Trista Francis.  We got a great spot to park the car right on the run course out of transition and had tons of people see it.  I always seem to forget how sprint races hurt a little more than 70.3′s!  I was almost talking to people more about the Flex than Timex!  It was a great race and a lot of fun! Enjoy the pictures!

Go team!

The finish!
