Musselman

The Musselman Triathlon was this weekend in Geneva, NY. First of all, I'd like to thank Jeff Henderson and his team for giving us the opportunity to be a part of such an incredible event! I'd also like to thank those who did come out and help us fill water bottles...one less person and this would not have been possible at ALL. We filled approx 2,000 water bottles over the weekend which were then handed out to finishers of the events. In exchange, One Bead was able to have a booth at the expo Friday night and Saturday. We raised a grand total of $232!!!  On Friday we filled water bottles from 3-5 and then I worked the expo from 5-7:30. Then, Saturday we worked the booth from 10-2 and then filled water bottles from 2-4...because there were only 2 of us, we weren't able to be present for the entire expo, but still managed to receive an enormous amount of feedback. It was so inspiring to meet so many impressive athletes. Anyone who can swim 1.2 miles, bike 56, and run 13.1 miles is a champion in my books!
Those bins full of water bottles were quite heavy!




Anna (pictured right on the far right) helped us fill water both days AND helped out with other components on the race. What a champ!
