Ladies, ladies, ladies.  As this exclusively all girl triathlon got underway, the sun slowly came out and shed it’s bountiful rays upon us.  And if I didn’t know any better, I’d say a portion of them were mothers…way to go, Moms!  I got a lot of comments about how “yummy” and “tasty” our granola was to them and how they would imagine their kids armed with Bear Naked.  As school was just around the corner, many kids had supported their moms with the future decision to purchase some of our granola for lunch snacks.  Go kids and moms (and what the heck, dads too)!

The 5430 Long Course Triathlon is the third of three races comprising the 2009 Boulder Triathlon Series. The other two are the 5430 Sprint Triathlon on June 21, and the Boulder Peak Triathlon on July 12. A special Boulder Triathlon Series registration package rate for all three races is available. There will be $16,000 in cash and gift certificates from our sponsors for the top age group finishers in the Series.

We were noticed by many of the Stroke and Stride participants who where registering for the Long Course Tri this Saturday.  I feel like I actually know a lot of these participants by name now.  They always shoot me their smile from afar and it’s pretty easy to call out their favorite flavor by now.

We were also bombarded with long lines alongside voracious appetites.  Our favorite line was, “Bear Naked granola?  Who needs yogurt?  I’ll have it naked.”

Tri for the Cure – A Women’s Triathlon is your chance to be part of a unique triathlon experience designed just for women. Whether it’s your first time or you are a veteran triathlete, the Tri is a race for women of any age, athletic ability or fitness level. Join us for what has become a life-changing event for thousands of women!

We were met by an ABUNDANCE of ladies; all of which remembered us some from past event.  Many times we were sampling to the same group of ladies only because we were serving our Heavenly Chocolate.  As we were describing all the flavors, 60-70% of the ladies stopped us at chocolate.  We were told that chocolate had been put on the functional food groups on the food pyramid.  Jeez, where have I been? :)  Thanks ladies and we hope that you all had a great race!

A regular triathlon, but with a twist…the athletes may choose in what order they choose to run, swim, and bike.  It was crazy to see how the order simply played to each athlete.  Some better, some worse.  But all fun.  The racers performed with flying colors, the expo area was filled with grub (some serious Bear Naked granola, too), and the day was absolutely stunning for a tri event!  It’s a good thing we brought a lot of parfaits because we ended up running out of product.  I’m glad everybody got to try one of our distinguished parfaits :)

This event was STELLAR.  I couldn’t believe the hardcore triathletes that come from all over the country to these events.  Some of the winners had just flew in from another state the previous day.  Not only that, they ran a triathlon the day before.  Race, rest, fly to CO, race, fly home, race, race, race.  So hardcore.  I love to see such dedication and commitment to a sport.  It’s very inspirational.

The Expo day was so great.  We really got some one on one time with the families, athletes, and supporters of the event.  On occasion, we would even get the meanderers that were just chillin’ in the sun at the beach.  A beach date on Boulder Reservoir is on my list of “things to do”.  Many came with furies of hunger, requesting that they sample a little of each flavor.  I’m stoked that they got to try of it as much of it as they did.  They got the full Bear Naked treatment :)

Race day.  I saw some individuals with claw marks on their back from the swim.  Some looked like they took a digger from their bikes and received some minor road rashes.  Finally, some serious massages to the legs finished off the run.  These athletes haul!  We have such respect for these athletes.  Seriously, nothing can hold them back.  We got some seriously beaming smiles from our parfaits.  For many, the parfaits just hit the spot.  We had a lot of athletes ask us if we were going to stay after the event to sample…of course, dudes and dudettes!  We’re here to support all of you.  And when they came for that shear parfait…shear delight.  Yum yum.

Stroke and Stride #9

For another time, these guys did it again.  Even with some thunderstorms and heavy rain in the Denver metro area, beautiful Boulder prevailed with stunning sunshine and sublime weather.  I was met with probably the biggest BN fan yet; the last time I had seen him, I had given him a bright orange BN shirt.  Sure enough, I was greeted with this guy reppin’ our stuff.  He pretty much volunteered himself to help out at the tent.  Much thanks to Charlie- my official BN bro.

Otherwise, the turnout was great.  Many showed, got their race on, and got to enjoy some BN parfaits at the end of their race.  As this was the third time at the weekly Stroke and Stride events for the BN tour, I was given much gratitude from the racers, attendees, and directors alike.  I couldn’t have done it without them.  Thanks so much for the support, Boulder.  Peace out.

Swing by Boulder Reservoir for some parfaits.  We’ll be kickin’ it with the Boulder triathletes.

I had a great time sampling Round 2 with these guys.  I had a group of young guns come up for a couple of parfaits and realized I had a couple of youth sized shirts.  I then decided to create my BN Chow Squad.  Fueled with some Heavenly Chocolate parfaits, these tykes went out  and repped our stuff like a bunch of pros.  This was definitely an unforgettable moment in BN history.
