boulder beer mile



we learned a few things today at the boulder beer mile.

1) don't ever trust a man dressed in a smokers jacket...for they can both run & drink
2) blake ottersberg could not only pass as a Mexican but also hugh hefner w/ a fro



3) i didn't realize boulder triathletes were such wusses and would watch but not compete in a race as great and important as the boulder beer mile





4) pete valenytik is a stud -- the defending BBM champ had a flu bug and finished 2nd today
5) practice makes nearly perfect as Barry Siff (5430 sports race director) showed today with his 7th place BBM performance
6) world champions & olympians will watch and wish they too might one day have the tenacity to complete a BBM (Matty Reed, Simon Lessing & Joanna Zieger in attendance)*

Here are a few pics from today....



*Zeiger was 1 of 3 female competitors in the BBM today and defended her crown as female champ, doubling in the impressive double double award of 70.3 Ironman champ and BBM champ.



My sister-in-law, Kendra Deppe, finished second in her first race at altitude.
