Today I volunteered at the Rogue Women’s Tri<\/a> in San Marcos, TX. It was an all-women’s ‘super sprint’ triathlon consisting of a 300 meter swim, 12 mile bike, and 2 mile run. I woke at 4:30 AM, left the house at 5:00 AM, and arrived at 5:55 AM to sign in as a volunteer. I worked in the Transition area for the day first checking athlete’s equipment as they arrived (number on bike, end caps on handle bars, and helmet with safety stickers), next I was on the “Bike Out” area directing athletes to the “Bike Mount Line”, third I directed traffic back in from the “Bike Dismount Line” to the “Bike In” area, and finally I helped dismantle all the racks and fences surrounding the transition area. I think I was done around 11:30 AM and got home at 12:30 PM a bit sore for having stood on my feet all morning, but happy to have helped. The weather was dry but cloudy so I wasn’t too sunburned after having been out all morning. This was my first experience with a triathlon, and several people were kind enough to answer my many questions about this form of competition. I found it quite interesting and I wondered if it would be something I would ever try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
