This weekend was the kind of racing weekend that reminds me of my WHY. I simply love to be out there racing, surrounded by people who feel the same way I do. It isn’t always easy or glamorous but some weekends it all comes together. Andy’s Race, in memory of the first athlete I coached, saw the Malone Coaching women sweep the podium and new athletes stand on the podium for the first time. We had first time athletes power through and those from the GVL TRI club join us too. The ladies who raced Lake Logan found each other and leaned on each other. This is what makes our team wonderful but also gives us strength. I am so proud of what all these athletes accomplished, each and every one of them overcoming personal obstacles to perform to the best of their ability.
