I’ve done two Valley Girl races and now the first Wunder
Woman race and they’ve all been wonderful. Thanks for
all your hard work in putting these races together. I
would like to bring to your attention one particular
volunteer who went above and beyond at the event
yesterday. First let me say that I am a
back-of-the-pack person who has never been thought of by
anyone (least of all myself) as an athlete. When you are
slower, the race volunteers do a very nice job of
keeping an eye on you to make sure you’re doing ok.
During the run portion (which I walk) of the race
yesterday, Tom, a volunteer medic on a bike, rode up
along side of me to make sure I was ok. I was fine… a
bit wet and cold but not having any problems.
Nonetheless, he rode along with me, keeping me company
and distracting me from the elements for about two and a
half miles. It was really touching that he’d do that and
it helped make my race experience better. He could’ve
chosen to get out of the rain since I was one of the
last racers out there, but he didn’t and that speaks to
the wonderful, dedicated volunteers you have enlisted
for these events. I do thank all of the volunteers I
pass while I’m racing but I wanted to write to you to
make sure you know from at least one racer’s perspective
how great those folks are, what a nice job they do and
how much we all appreciate them. Tom exemplified this
for me at yesterday’s race, but all of the volunteers
make racing more fun for me and I wanted to let you know
that.
Thanks
again and I look forward to seeing you all again next year
for these great events!
Sincerely, Michelle
Jim and I
just wanted to thank you for another GREAT event!!! We
are so impressed with what you have done in the local
Tri community and hope & pray you will continue to be
encouraged. Even with the rain WunderWoman was a hoot!!!
Please know that you are appreciated. If you ever need
any more help in the future please let us know. Again
well done!!!!!
Jim and Kim
I want to say thank you for a very fun race on Sunday!
I was SO impressed with the entire event and I was
amazed by the number of support volunteers that were out
there, in the rain, keeping us safe.. You know it's a
well organized event when the weather doesn't stop the
athletes from having a fun, safe day.
I think you've been amazing from the start in your
pre-race communication, all the way through race day.
It was a pleasure to meet you and I'll look forward to
planning my trip from San Diego around this event next
year.
Best Regards,
Shelby
The race went great today, minus the weather.
Thanks for all your efforts!
Kim
I am sure you
have heard this a million times - but I am hooked!
I have done both the valley-girl and wunder woman
this summer and loved every minute of it! Thank you
so much for all your organization that goes into
these events! I can tell just by watching that you
put your heart and soul into these events, and that
you care that each and every one of us will finish!
I was looking at the pictures and the picture of the
last lady to get out of the lake, and you talking to
her was evidence of this.
Thank you also for making
this a 'women's only' event, it makes it so much
less intimidating! I look forward to doing this
again next year. Thanks again for all you and your
volunteers do.

I
had a great time on Sunday. I just wanted to say
that your volunteers there and at ValleyGirl are
just the best. They are so encouraging and
supportive that it really makes a big difference.
It was a great course and I hope you hold it again
next year.
It was nice that the Friday packet pickup
was a little closer to town. Plus REI had some
great sales. Double bonus!

Wow... can't say enough
good things about yesterday's event. I was
struck over and over by the sheer amount of support
staff that was
there to keep things ticking along smoothly and
quickly. I felt very
safe throughout the event, especially the bike leg.
Thank you for this well-planned, well-executed
event.
Sincerely,
Megan
Thank you for another FABULOUS event. I had
puddles of water in my bike shoes but other than
that it was a GREAT time!
Kellee
Once again, thank
you and Michael and your crew for organizing a
wonderful race last Sunday at Medical Lake!
Although I have raced in Medical Lake before,
your race was incredibly well-organized and more
importantly... fun! Fun, even though the rain
was wet and the temperature low for an August
race.
Natalie
Thank you for
an incredibly well organized, fun and safe
triathlon. You guys are such awesome race
sponsors and it's so fun to compete in the races
you guys put on. The rain was a bit intimidating
at first, especially the swim, but all the
awesome volunteers made it so much easier to
keep going in that yucky weather. Your love and
dedication to the tri sport shows at all your
events! You guys do a fantastic job! Driving
home was interesting, I think we all felt like a
big wet sponge:>)
Connie
Thanks so much for Wunderwoman on Sunday. That was
a huge effort for you and your team, and it was
wunderful!
Joy
Just wanted to
touch base with you. First, I want to say a big
thank you to you and all the other folks who where
responsible for putting together the Wunder Women
Triathlon. I can’t imagine the time and dedication
it takes to make an event like that happen and be so
well organized. Even my husband and friends that
came to support me commented on the organization of
the race!
