Photographs from 5430 long course/Mash- Splash and Dash













Weekend Review:

What a busy weekend for MHM coaches and athletes. After manning an aide station on Saturday (Thank you Mike Nims, Steve Uccello and the Alfino children) for 4.5 hours then standing on my feet at the long course on Sunday I'm exhausted and I didn't even race!!!

MAD SPLASH AND DASH:

The weekend began with Coach Kathy, Leslie Lobojko and Jeff Liedy taking part in the home town race, Mash-Splash and Dash. Jeff's daughter Savanna also took place in the youth event and her finish line photo above tells me we have a future star in the making!!! Once again MHM was well represented with both Kathy and Leslie taking 1st place age group finishes while placing 3rd and 4th overall. Jeff took another 4th place finish, by seconds, and at last report, his wife has removed all sharp objects from the home. Next week he graduates to his first Olympic Race and open water swim.

5430 LONG COURSE:

What a day for racing in Boulder!! With over cast skies for most of the day and temperatures in the mid 70's the day had Personal Record or as Susie's husband educated me on yesterday Personal Best (Personally I think it has something to do with his last name being Best and nothing else but I digress). Mile High was represented by Steve Uccello, Susie Wargin (1st half), Clay Taulman,, Susan Johnson (1st half), Cody Hanson (HUGE PR yesterday!!), Courtney Ring, Dawn Leget (1st half) and Barb Esses (1st half). Some food and beverage was consumed post race in the MHM tent and it was great to see everyone interacting.
