In late 2009, Hope "Mommie Bear" Walker returned to Sprint Triathlon competition after a 7 year retirement.

This blog is to chronicle her efforts and journey and to help raise donations to fund her trip to Beijing China to represent the USA Team and to chronicle the family's involvement in multisports competition.

Wednesday update
Will post some pictures later. Yesterday was a full day. Picked up my race packet... I have a race number, etc. Wow, just wow. Then, we headed in to the silk market for some shopping. All of this took a long time, since it seems to take over an hour to get anywhere around here with traffic. Came back to hotel for quick change of clothes, then headed back into city center for a nice dinner near Tainanmen Square, then a " ballet workshop" at the Natl Centre for Performing Arts aka "The Egg". Beautiful facility and well worth the time to do this. Didn't get back to hotel until around 10:30pm and headed straight to bed. Now, it is time to ride the bike course and check out the swim and transition area. I guess I did come here to race... Been focused on sight-seeing!!!
