Kona Inspired

Brooke Saunders asked that we spread the word through the Tri-Dawgs to vote for an incredible woman she met at one of Jocelyn’s Ironman competitions. BethAnn Telford has been fighting brain cancer since 2004; it is her dream to compete at Kona. Ironman has a new program “Kona Inspired” which allows athletes to share their inspirational stories.  Eight athletes will win a chance to compete at Kona.  All they need is our vote and BethAnn is one of them. 

Here is the link:  Click the link and then click VOTE below the video.  You can vote daily through July 18.

Parade

Did you know that fellow Tri-Dawg Val Longhurst is also a Delaware state representative? Here's a note from Val. You can e-mail her if interested in joining her.

I'm doing a parade in Delaware City July 21st starting at 11.  Do you think any tridawgs would want to join?  Could always use more people to gently toss candy at the kids.  It's about a 2 mile walk.  I'm assemblying people at the Governor Bacon center @ 10:30 for line up.  Crabby Dicks is at the end of the walk.  Might be some encouragement:)

Bike for Sale

Lake Placid Ironman

Good luck to all who are doing this race next Sunday. I know Cindy Johnson, Lenny Rogers, Margaret Amidon, Chris Wolf, Eric Wolf, Patrica Clifford, Chris McGoldrick and Marianne Moore are entered. Sorry, I think I'm missing one or two. There will be no newsletter next week since I will be in LP as well helping Henry and Vince with the cheerleading and tailgating. At least  three of us will be having a fun day!  If you download the IronTrac app you can easily follow them during the course of a very long day.

Have a great week.
