Tri For The Cure

jon ... Monday, April 21st, 2008

The Tri For The Cure weekend was a total success.  Nearly One Hundred Thousand Dollars was raised to battle Cancer, Hillary won the race, and Splits59 made our debut as an event sponsor.

On Friday night, Hillary spoke to an audience of approximately fifty eager and fit women.  Many of them first-timers who were seeking last minute advice from the 26X Ironman finisher. Saturday morning, Hillary and I did an easy treadmill session before setting up our booth at the Gainey Village Health Club and Spa, the location of the expo and race packet pickup.

Many of the athletes stopped by to say hello to Hillary who was busy in her role as Splits59 spokesperson and top sales woman.  She is a pro at this as well. The girl can SELL!!!!  The response to our clothing was overwhelmingly positive.  Interacting with the athletes and seeing their excitement about the line was thrilling. Sunday brought race day.  Hillary won the pro event and than went out on the course to cheer on the other athletes.  I cant wait until next year!
