Hy-Vee

Ok so I will post a blog about my canoe trip to Canada when I have the time but for now let me mention the fact that today the top pro athletes from around the world will gather together to vie for the largest prize purse in triathlon history. At approximately 1:30 this afternoon the gun will go off and competitors at the Hy-Vee BG ITU World Cup will compete for $700,000 in purse and prizes. SEVEN HUNDRED FREAKIN THOUSAND!!!! Thats a lot of freaking dough. Age groupers are currently racing right now and the Juniors and Youth Elite raced last night. Holy crap some of those kids my age are fast. Take in mind that they are actually doing like a 14.1 mile bike as opposed to what should really be a 20k.



As far as the pro's go people like Hunter Kemper, Andy Potts, Brad Kahlfeldt, Javier Gomez, Tim Don, Emma Snowsill, Debbie Tanner, Andrea Hewitt, and Michelle Dillon to name a few will all be there. The pro women start at like 1:00 pm or so and the pro men at 4:00 pm CST. You can check out live coverage on tricast. It's goin down for sure.
