Andy, "The Bachelor" comes to Louisville

Okay, so Friday Alex's cross country team was given the "opportunity" to volunteer to help at the Ironman Triathlon on Sunday morning.

We got there bright and early and learned that indeed Andy Baldwin, the "Bachelor" from this season's show was competing. Alex made a nice little sign in the road and hoped she would be able to pick him out. After a while of watching the first few bikers go by, we decided there was no way we would be able to pick him out. They all look alike with helmets on. My eagle eyes were drawn to a NAVY shirt. I guess after all this time with John, I always spot a familiar NAVY logo. I started snapping pictures and yelled, "Alex, was that Andy?" She started screaming at him after he went past, "I love you Andy!" Our friends were right after her and said he started smiling and tried to turn a little, and then he threw his arm in the air for her.

Well, the bikes came by our station twice on their 120 mile bike ride. the second time, Alex was ready and hooray for Andy, he was ready for her too. He pointed to her and gave her a big smile. He was great. It made her day.

Also, during this race, one guy took a bottle of gatorade from her as he biked by and then said to our friends as he passed them, "That girl is a 10!" Then a little later someone went by, looked right at her and gave her a huge wolf whistle. Another man who was working was in shock. He said the whistle was very loud. I can't believe they had energy to even pay attention to the girls.

We are exhausted, but can only dream how tired the athletes are!!!
