Never in my wildest dreams did I think a major women's athletic wear retailer like Athleta would be interested in my Ironman journey but when asked, they said yes!
Bif Hilliard, the manager of Boulder's Athleta store, was enthusiastic from the get go. After a brainstorming session and a lot of laughter, Biff, Angela (my Kaia angel), and I came up with not only one but two avenues for Athleta to support me and Doctors Without Borders.
1. Athleta Shop Nite Event
Look for details to come but the basic idea is Athleta will host an invitation only shopping night in May/June. I'll invite all of my besties (aka YOU); wine and appetizers/desserts will be served; and Athleta will have all their fabulous athletic wear fully stocked, on hand, and ready for purchase!
It's a Win-Win
* You get to spruce up your spring/summer athletic wear with some killer new duds!
* You get a fun night out on the town with the girls!
* Athleta designates a portion of the night's total sales to Doctors Without Borders in support of their global health mission!
* I'll be there to tell you a little bit about my Ironman journey to date and to answer any questions!
2. Team Kaia Bike Course Marshals
Biff and Athleta immediately volunteered to team up with the Kaia girls and work as Bike Course Marshals at the Ironman. Athleta will also generously donate $250 to Doctors Without Borders.
* The Boulder Ironman is THE not-to-be-missed-event of the summer!
* This is your chance to see it up close and personal!
* Team Kaia/Athleta has the primo bike marshal position! We'll be stationed along the first 20 miles of the bike course which starts at the Boulder Reservoir, heads north up Highway 36 towards Lyons, and then jogs east and north through the rolling hills of Boulder's lake and horse country towards Carter Lake.
* Grab your girlfriends, your husband, your boyfriend, your kids, your sisters, your brothers, your neighbors or whoever you'd like to spend some quality cheering time with and sign up for an awesome day watching some of the best athletes in the world whizz by.
PLAN AHEAD:
DATE: Sunday, August 3, 2014
TIME: 7:00AM - 11:30AM
PLACE: Boulder Reservoir
GET THE GOODS: T-shirt, Lunch, and Water (Ironman generously thanks its volunteers by taking very good care of them:)

| Couldn't resist a little pre-event shopping while I was there:) Look for me in this 'coral sizzle' capri/tank as I run around town. |
