Ironman

We love that the Ironman is in St. George and it will be in St. George for a while.  They signed a deal and St. George will host a Full Ironman in 2020 and 2023, the 2021 70.3 Ironman World Championships, Ironman 70.3 American Championships in 221, 2022, and 2024.  So we will have 6 Ironman races in St. George in five years.  It will be amazing for our community because they say each Ironman brings in around $7 million each year.  So with 2 one year and then 1 each of the other years, it will be amazing for our community. 

Anyway, the mountain bike team volunteers at the first bike aid station each year.  Usually, it's only Bryan and Ethan but Courtney and I got to go this time.

Yes, I know.  I don't get serious pictures of them often.  Ethan is being goofy and Courtney...I don't know what to say.

Here is Ethan with his best friend who is also on the team.

Bryan and Ethan were giving out waters and Gaterade to the bikers.  It's a crazy thing to watch because you have to be moving when you hand it off or the biker can't grab it and it falls.  I didn't want to do it so I helped clean up trash,

I did get a nice picture, finally!!

This was the last place for the athletes to throw their trash at our aid station.  They could aim and throw it in one of the holes.  It was fun to watch them try to make it.  Some throws were awesome and bounced up and into the hole.  Others didn't even get close.  But it was a fun thing for the athletes who were just in the Ironman to have fun (although that's weird kind of fun, if you ask me).
