DC Triathlon TEAM

Local News from the Road

Iron Girl is the main event for Team LUNA Chix DC each season.  KC, did another tremendous job in organizing the event.  We set up a table at the Expo on Friday and Saturday.  She had us each down for 3-4 hour slots throughout the Expo.  Sarah and I went together on Saturday from 12-3ish.  I drove to her house to find a less than stellar feeling Sarah.  I drove while she laid in the passenger seat moaning.  HEHE By the time we got there we had already raised about $600!  Earlier in the week we had all got together to stuff water bottles, make packages of LUNA snacks, and thought up an idea for an auction (LUNA Timbuk2 bag stuffed with LUNA goodies).  During our shift Sarah and I kept up the good work and maybe got another $250.  At this time we were also able to do packet pick-up, and browse the Expo.  The Iron Girl Expo has to be the best Expo I have ever been to in my triathlon career.  It seemed extremely packed with people.  I later found out there were 2,500 entered (last year was about 1,500).  YIKES!  Elbow room was minimal.
