Life as a Spectator

On April 1^st I had the opportunity to attend the Mesilla Valley Triathlon in Las Cruces, NM, but the catch was that I was there as a spectator and cheering section for my friends. At almost all races I compete in I hang around and cheer on fellow racers and catch-up with friends, but this is the first time that I had been to a race and not competed. I have to admit that I was very anxious and it was hard not to run home and get my bike and race with everyone else. 

The weather was great and the times were very fast! Bobby Gonzalez won the race by breaking the hour mark and Gretchen, Art, Misha, and Cody had super-fast times. I did my best to cheer them on and took several pictures of each racer. I also had the chance to notice the event staff in action and they did a great job putting on the race. For local West Texas and New Mexico racers, I highly recommend this race.
