Foundation For Youth Triathlon

Oh the In it to Win It girls! They have so much fun in Columbus, Indiana that it just shouldn’t be legal. Today was a day of volunteering, sight-seeing, and fun! Our day started at 7 AM with the Foundation for Youth Triathlon. Missi had been training for weeks for the swim portion at her grandparent’s pool. Oh how she spent each night going back and forth in their above ground pool. She was mentally prepared for the event and Mandi and Erin were there to cheer her on! The team was given the duty of helping people out of the water as they exited that part of the triathlon. They were paired up with other volunteers from the community and they did such a fine job. One of the other volunteers is the General Manager of Old Navy, so the team was able to do a bit of networking too! Those In It To Win It girls are always making the most of every challenge! Unfortunately, our blog format does not support video images, otherwise you could hear the crowds roar! As Missi came in from her swim everyone cheered for her. She wasn’t the first in, but she did a great job. Yes, she was not the first out of the water . . . In fact, she was the last! It turns out that training in an above ground pool just doesn’t compare to the horrendous conditions of Tipton Lakes . But alas, she was consoled after the race by Mandi and Erin as they told her that she made them so proud just by attempting the swim at all. Erin even showed her pride by giving Missi a victory dance that really boosted her spirits and she was once again ready to race on!
