Star Struck

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

 

Today was the official opening of the VIP hospitality suite.  We executed everything as planned and had a smooth day.  I had several of the “Pinch me.  I can’t believe this is happening-moments” seeing all of the stars, at least in the world of triathlon anyway.  Some of the celebs included Ironman legends Paula Newby-Fraser and Dave Scott; the voice of Ironman, Mike Reilly; ’07 champs Chrissie Wellington and Macca (Chris McCormack); Kona course record holder Luc Van Leirde; the founders of Ironman John and Judy Collins; original 1978 Ironman finishers Dave Orlowski and Tom Knoll; double amputee Ironman finisher Scott Rigsby; father-son team Dick and Rick Hoyt, and many others.  Let’s just say I felt very privileged to get to see them in person.  Overall, it was a great day!
