Even though I did not participate in the Accenture Chicago Triathlon this year (first year I’ve NOT done this race!), I was at the Expo on Friday night to help staff the Luna booth. Some might look as the obligation to participate in staffing the booth as “work”. However, nothing could be further from the truth for me!

First – the Luna Chix are just an amazing group of energetic, positive, fun women to be around. Second – I get to give out free products and collect the hundreds of positive comments (the Luna Moons are a huge hit, so if you haven’t tried them, go out and buy some!). Third – it’s sort of like a high school reunion for me. Triathlete friends are all around – those I haven’t seen in years, those I just saw yesterday and those I’m just meeting for the first time. The room just buzzes with excitement non-stop and it’s so easy for me to get caught up in it all.

My shift went by quickly and I was able to top it off with a little Luna bonding. I’m only a little sorry I didn’t sign up for the race this year. But being able to work the expo and be so close to all the action is not half bad!
