The St. George Ironman is a big thing and since Colby and Jeff are giving their all in the organization of it we volunteered for a shift and were assigned the "bike course section four". We turned up early Saturday morning and got our bright yellow shirts and then found our spot on the bike trail right at a big turn. We spread out and did our thing! Such commands as: "Hazard" "big turn" "slow down ahead" were yelled all morning until some of us were hoarse. The sun came out and beat down but we carried on and cheered the bikers on. Thanks Sherri, Hayden, Garrett, Bryn, Carter, McKay and Kimber. You were great! And thanks Rusty and Connie and Addie for some welcomed relief and refreshments.
McKay pointing the way! They had a couple of crashes at their site and got pretty warm in the sun.
The umbrella was welcomed relief...too bad it came at the end of our shift.

Watching for the return of the bikers
the bikers loved Kimbers sign and she was so good to cheer them on with encouraging words. We were pretty close to them as passed this spot...but noticed the shade...It felt great.
The real hero's of the day were those crazy people who gave their all to swim and bike and run for all day long. They were inspiring!
