Can you believe I'm possibly going?

Well, not to actually do it, but my son has a Boy Scout camping trip up near there which ends the day before the race. So, I was thinking why not head up there to either help out on the trip, or pick him up, or whatever, and hang out for an extra day and volunteer.

Now THAT would get me pumped for my own little triathlon world.

I am looking at possibly DOING this thing next year, it's either Placid or Florida.

I was looking into volunteeing to. I am deffinately heading up there to be a spectator. Next year  I plan to do an Ironman but I am leaning towards Florida because it is later in the season and hell of a lot flatter. If you or any BT goes let me know. It would be nice to meet some of you.

That would be nice if all of us BT'ers got together and met at an Ironman to volunteer. We could wear our T-shirts and just be the coolest cheerleading group. And it would even be more awesome if we were cheering on one of our own!

Yeah, I'm looking at Florida because it's flatter but I like the sound of IMUSA championships I'm a sufferer, it's an illness I think

You should go and volunteer. It is more exciting to watch when you are working. I voluteered for an Ironman, and it got me motivated to prepare for my own race. An Ironman is more then a race, it is a true event, with music and food and people everywhere. Have fun and cheer loud.

Last year I did long-distance worlds in Spain (~ 3/4 IM distance) and my sister went with me.  She had the best time because she went to all the events with me and volunteered at the race.  Not only did she get to be a part of it all, but they gave her a volunteer sweatshirt (it was cold in the morning), t-shirt and hat, so she got some nice souvenirs of the experience as well.  Not only that, but OLN aired highlights of that race and she was in the background of one part since she worked the transition area (I certainly wasn't shown...they only televise the elite athletes and I'm just a regular age grouper<img align='middle' src='https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/surprise.gif'>).  We both had great memories of it.

Shortly before the Lake Placid event, we could make plans to meet up. I also thought of going as a spectator, I didn't think about being a volunteer, but that's a great idea! Next year I'll be in the event.
