Ironman 70.3, Success for Augusta!

Yeah it's kinda old news now, but from what I've been seeing, folks are still pretty stoked. And for good reason 'cause the Augusta IM70.3 went off without a hitch. I don't recall any negative feedback from any of the local participants and I've had some out-of-towners send emails thanking us for our support. Yeah I just patted AJBW on the back. But there would be no back patting without some help. So here's some shout outs.

Kim J - Put it down at the Expo all day Friday and Saturday, hooking up triathletes from all over the globe with the stuff they needed. Actually had it not been for her, we prolly wouldn't have even been at the Expo.

Brian B - Flew in from Hell Paso to get his hands dirty. The Meticulous Mechanic was on deck, assembling bikes, fixing up bikes for ill-prepared racers at check-in, and pumping tires on race day. Could not have pulled it off without this dude.

James B - Our Giant Bicycles sales rep made the trip from NC to help out at the expo and talk about the super sick, super duper new full carbon Giant Tri bikes.

Paul K, Bobby W, and Meg S - Aided Kim in managing over 3,000 AJBW expo booth visitors on Saturday!

Jason K - Helped us out at the store stalling customers as they waited for us to help them, answered the phone, etc.

Mark S - Expedited expo tear down and pack up with the team van!

So IM weekend was a long, hectic, chaotic, stressful, and exhausting undertaking, but it was also very rewarding. We got to meet some great people from all over the world and we got to make some miracles happen (well they were miracles for the people we were helping out). I'm very glad to get the first one under the belt as the anticipation of the unknown was almost paralyzing. Team AJBW stood strong, manned-up, and emerged victorious. Thanks to everyone who helped and congratulations to all the competitors. We look forward to next year!
