Meet the Pros!

All 3 Sports sponsored a meet and greet charity event for a few of the top pro triathletes in the world. Ann decided to attend with a few friends from Dynamo Multisport. It all started with a 3 mile fun run through Piedmont Park, followed by a Q & A session with the athletes, and then a BBQ dinner. They finished it off with a raffle with some awesome prizes, but unfortunately, came home empty handed.

Wait for me!!!

Heather Gollnick is a 5 time Ironman champion and mother of three, so minus the five Ironman titles and professional sponsorships, she has a lot in common with Ann... ha ha. Actually, Ann and Heather both graduated from Valparaiso University the same year and remembered each other from their college days.

The highlight of the evening was meeting Craig "Crowie" Alexander, the current Ironman World Champion and all around handsome dreamboat.

Here Ann and Abster are hamming it up with Mirinda "Rinny" Carfrae - Ironman 70.3 World Champion and Ironman World Championship Marathon Record Holder. Rinny is arguably the second best female in the world today and is just a beautiful runner.

We look forward to cheering on all Ann's new friends at the World Championships on the Big Island this October.
