So, Offthegrid and I made plans months and months ago to volunteer and that we did.

It is very late now and I just got back but I will have a full write up for you all soon and I took a ton of pictures.

I have been up there for 3 IMLPs in a row now, each year getting more involved. 1st year visiting friends "Oh, there's a triathlon this weekend." "What? Oh." Back then I was not a cyclist.
2nd year (1st year as new cyclist) - "Holy cow these roads look/are hard." Still didn't see any of the race etc because I left on Saturday. Did ride one part of the course (more on that later).
3rd year/this year - there specifically to take in the environment, train, and volunteer.

This year's race had amazingly perfect weather, tho warm for the run.

Anyway I will have much more soon.
