The event was amazing and truly inspirational. There were women of every age and of every shape and size participating in the race. Some of the women were survivors of breast cancer. We saw Michele during the bike race and she looked great! We tried to snap a few quick pictures but she was biking too fast for us!
We met up with her after she crossed the finish line. She was thrilled with her accomplishment and I agree. She met her goal of finishing the race and also raised a good amount of money for such a worthwhile cause. (I am toying with the idea of doing the triathlon next year - but I would have to train hard (very, very hard) to finish it!)
Here's the bike course...see the ocean in the distance.
That's Michele entering the frame on the left!
Off she goes - she's in that group!
Enjoying some shade....
Boys being boys!
My sister after the race...Victory!

Thank you so much for coming up and cheering me on. It was a great race and so emotionally rewarding. What a great cause. The Maine Cancer Foundation wanted to raise $20,000 and they raised over $200,000. I ended up coming in 192 and I finished in 1:33:14. My swim and run need a little work but my bike time was 79th overall. I love the bike. I am thrilled with how I did since I couldn't swim more then a lap 3 months ago and I could only run a mile straight through.
George, Jackie, Jacob and Benny thanks for cheering and making the signs.
what a great thing..how awesome that the whole family is involved and loved it. Kudos to your sister!
