Team Sprinkles

Go big or go home. That's my motto in life. If your gonna do something - do it right. When I hurt my knee this year it was a bit hard for me to come to terms with the fact that my racing season was over. So when the opportunity came around for me to change my Olympic distance race at the Echo tri to a Relay - I knew it would be awesome. You see, it feels a bit funny to do a relay of a distance that you do all the time on your own. So I had to spice it up a bit - and brought out all the ribbons and bows (literally). I even kept my bows in for the swim. They are just under my cap - making it all skeewampus. Gotta love swimming in lakes when the sun just comes up!
This girl was not prepared for my powerful exit out of the water. Just cuz I'm wearing bows - doesn't mean I won't kill you.
Laura "Big Gun's" - seriously - check out her arms. I love how her shirt matches her bows.
Jenny's just out for another stroll. Good thing there were no nuns around to make her cry this time. Also the only picture I have of her without her eating a shot block - who eats on a relay run?
My partners in crime were Jenny and Laura. They were not quite prepared for the girl fest that was Team Sprinkles. But when you have to wake up at 4:00 am to get somewhere - I say put your hair up in pigtail buns. It's always a timeless look.

Our relay took second, and for a while there - it was out of two teams! Ha! But then, lo and behold - there was a third team that we were able to destroy with our cuteness.

All in all, it was a fun race. No pressure - tons of cheering - and lots of bows. Might just have to do this again sometime.
