Hi crazycanuck, no I didn't volunteer this year, though I have done on 2 previous years. My husband did the event as an individual entry, I wanted to be free to watch it, to see how he was going. It was such a good day, beautiful weather. I will definitely be involved in some way at the Ironman later in the year. I vollied on an drink station on the run leg last year. It was a long day. I don't know how some of them did it...
