Two weeks out from Ironman Wisconsin, recovery mode is still in full force. Though there’s been some easy swimming and biking as well as a welcomed return to my yoga mat, there’s been zero running – and, won’t be for at least another two weeks. So, I was a little bummed to not pace the 8:30 group at last Saturday’s lululemon run: twin k 15k, but instead did the next best thing: volunteered at the finish line, one of the best places at a race.
It was a perfect September morning along Summit Avenue in Saint Paul… crisp and sunny with a hint of color change in the trees. Nick and I met up with some friends who were running (thanks for pacing, Sonia and Nick! And, hi, Julia, Jess and Amanda!), and I finally met a few twitter friends (hi, Anne, Megan and Nick!). Ami and Finley joined the fun, too, for Finley’s first official race. #futureironwoman 🙂
In true lululemon fashion, the music was pumping and luon covered the course (the next SeaWheeze?). Race highlights: a drone, bacon station, dunk tank, mannequin high-fives and pint glass finishers “medals.”
Check out the pics Nick took while biking along the course!

Awesome!! I love volunteering at races! I love your Namaste shirt!! I remember when you did this race last year! Definitely volunteering is the next best thing after racing!! 🙂 Looks like a run race!!
Great photos! Isn’t the finish line the best place ever at a race?! I’ve missed lululemon so much since moving to a small beach town without it and this just solidified this!
Between the leaves and the vibrant running clothes, the colours in these photos are gorgeous!
That’s awesome you volunteered, and YAY for Finley’s first race 🙂
What an awesome event!!!
