The Chile Harvest Triathlon has come and gone and team Uptown Funk is looking forward to the Santa Fe Triathlon on August 13th. The team is made up of Yun, Cece and their friend Ayoub ....who is an elite runner and their only hope for glory! Because of his race speed and the women's great heart, they did come in second place at the Chile Harvest!
It was an emotional day for the team! They all had in mind to do their best. Yun had a great swim! She did not think so, but her teammates did. Yun just learned how to swim and her coach taught her on land! Given this and the fact that she had never raced in a tri we all thought she did a spectacular job! Turns out she is a very fast swimmer. I think she surprised herself!
Ayoub and his family came down! When he took off running, heads turned
and Cece was asked repeatedly, "Who IS that?" all she said was , "He's
with us!" The man runs like a Gazelle! He runs with such grace he is a
sight to see!

And Cece? Well, with 8 miles of up....she did well and exceeded her own
expectations! That is what she wants to do every race!
So, Yun surprised the team with a Sponsorship for the upcoming Santa Fe triathlon...we are very excited about this and they are all gearing up for the race this coming Saturday!
