Hiya,

Hey mags,

I;'m going to email rick (the volunteer guy) and ask him for something a bit exciting. He said in his email that the early birds get the best jobs...The ones you've mentioned sound exciting. Following the last person wouldn't be an ideal job but if noone else wants to do it, i will.

Kiwi in oz..both bikes are great! Road for road, mtn bike for off road...It's so nice being able to get up on road hills so fast!!!! As always, let me know if you wanna go for a spin.

HiYa!

I haven't been on for a while, and sorry Canuck for not catching up with you at the 1/2, I ended up volunteering for the whole race and was totally stuffed afterwards. But it was great fun .

At the 1/2 I was an "AM Floater" and the best job I had was marking the athletes biceps and thighs with their race numbers. Great job girls if you want to do it, some of them bods are hubba hubba and I've never had so many men drop their dacks in front of me .

I've asked Rick if I can volunteer as one of those who drapes the towel over the athletes as they cross the finish line. I've heard that's a pretty cool job. My girlfriend and I were at the finishers line at the WAIronman last November watching and cheering on the last few participants and the atmosphere was unbelievable! So many people, so much dancing, so much cheering, so many tears of joy and happiness. Truly amazing and an experience I will never forget. I just love volunteering .
