X10 I thought the volunteers were some of the best I have ever encountered in any race. Everyone was exceptionally helpful and friendly. I picked up so much positive energy. Can't thank you enough. |

Veteran 930 Morgan Hill, California | Subject: RE: To all 2012 IM AZ Volunteers.... Just wanted to throw my thanks in there, too. I had a great weekend at IM Arizona. The volunteers were great, crowd was awesome, Tempe is a great town to visit. It was everything and more that I wanted for my first IM. Thanks to all who made it possible. |

Extreme Veteran 495 | Subject: RE: To all 2012 IM AZ Volunteers.... Gotta chime in here, too. The volunteers were amazing, as was the crowd support. Volunteers helped me sort through all my junk in the changing tent, held my bike while I used the portajohn, offered to change out my water bottles while I was in there, always had encouraging words to say. I said lots of thank-yous to them and to the spectators who had made me smile all day. You guys will never know how much I relied on your energy to get through the bad times. You are among my favorite memories of the day. |

Extreme Veteran 566 Southern California | Subject: RE: To all 2012 IM AZ Volunteers.... Ditto. I could only manage a wave as thanks, wish I could have done more because each person with a sign, a bell, cheering, handing off a sponge, water, or gel made my day very special. Thanks! |

| New user 2 Denver | Subject: RE: To all 2012 IM AZ Volunteers.... the hubby and i both volunteered this year. our ultimate goal was to sign up for next year, but also to give back to this awesome sport. i'm so glad we volunteered because we had SO. MUCH. FUN. and really, it was our pleasure to help everyone hopefully have the best race day experience they could have. bike check-in was fun to just chat with the athletes (though, please don't at us to not touch your bike if we're just trying to help you place it on the rack correctly. besides, plenty of other people will be touching your ride on race day since you won't have to re-rack it ...) wetsuit stripping (peeling, whatever) was mass insanity, ridiculous fun and i HIGHLY recommend it for anyone looking to volunteer at an IM race. sunscreening athletes just off the bike and onto the run was fun and a lot less messy than i thought it would be. run aid station 7 (the trisports.com disco station) was super fun and i almost lost my voice yelling out for coke or chicken broth (plus it was fun to dress up and hang out for five hours in an afro wig and sunglasses). it was also hard being there late into the night, waiting for the last few athletes to come down, praying they'd hit our station in time to hopefully make the midnight cut. i also want to thank the volunteers working the registration tent who opened it EARLY! we got in line at 12:10, 12:15ish (first, with another group right behind) and were very thankful we were able to register by 6:something as opposed to 8! here's to next year!
(also, if you've never volunteered to work a race before - dooooo it! it's so much fun and an easy way to give back to the racing community.) |
