Iron Team Rocks

Last night was Cause for Celebration. CFC is a fun night for everyone to hang out, have some food/drinks, become bone marrow donors and meet people from the other teams. The Walk Team, East Bay & SF Run Team, East Bay & SF Tri Team, Cycle Team and Iron Team all represented last night. There was about 200 people there. I have been to many of these in the last 3 1/2 years and this was the BIGGEST crowd I'd seen. It was a fun night. Before we all get to eat and mingle the SF Run Team Manager talks a little about the cause and how each team is doing on their fundraising. My team, East Bay Tri, has 120 participants and has raised $95,000. Are you ready for this? The Iron Team, which is training for Iron Man Canada and USA Triathlon, has 60 participants and they have raised over $200,000.....WOW. I could not believe it. I've always said those people are crazy but somehow they've managed to succeed in their quest of completing an Iron Man but also in raising thousands of dollars for LLS. We also got to hear from an honoree and survivor. She had a stem cell transplant, one of her brothers was a perfect match and now she is cancer free.

GO TEAM!!!

Now, can someone please tell the rain to STOP, geesh, what is this Seattle? The forecast shows rain, rain, rain for the rest of this week and next week. We go down to Lake San Antonio to train on the Wildflower course next weekend and let me tell you the last thing I want to do is train and camp in the rain. Olivia and I volunteered last year and camping in the rain was miserable. So please do the sunshine dance for us to have a nice rain free training weekend.
