Photos from the Iron Girl Duathlon

Yesterday, I headed out to the Iron Girl Duathlon in Bloomington, MN. I had nothing to do in the morning, so I figured I'd bump into someone I knew at the race. And I LOVE to cheer at races!

I ran into Dave N and Dan K right away (plus TONS more people throughout the morning). Dan and I ended up chatting through the entire race (his wife was doing the race). I ran into my archenemy racing buddy Jenny Wilcox and Suzie Finger too - they were both ready to race.

I wrote an Examiner article about the race, and I put up nearly 40 photos. CLICK HERE to go to the article. And check out a few photos from the race below.

Jenny Wilcox starting the run - this photo sums up her amazing race!


Suzie Finger starting the race

Dan and I headed up to watch the bikers go by on the 2-loop ride. Dan ended up running back down the hill to help a racer who was having trouble with her chain:

These guys got her going again in no time (Dan's on the left)

6 days to my big race! *gulp*
