This past weekend my company, Accenture, served as the title sponsor of the half Ironman (70.3) in Oceanside, CA. It was an incredible experience in many ways. In addition to having 19 employees and clients racing under our "colors" the Challenged Athletes Foundation was the official charity of the race.
While the days were long (I have always maintained supporting a race is longer than doing it), I also had the cool experience of holding the finish line tape for the men's winner (Andy Potts edging out Jesse Thomas by ~ 10 seconds to claim his 5th win).
The weekend was full of meeting new people, having a great time spectating and cheering on racers, but also supporting many of my CAF friends. It was a crossroads of work, friends and my triathlon passion.
