Subject: Black Diamond Tri - Seattle, WA I know a few Seattle-area BT'ers are doing one of the Black Diamond races this coming weekend. I just got my email confirmation and it says the volunteer organization that was going to work the races is headed to Louisiana and they're now looking for a new organization and/or friends and family of racers to help out. From the email:
If you have a group that would like to get involved as a fundraiser ($20 per volunteer, per 4 hour shift), please have them call AA Sports office at (503) 531-3140 (volunteer coordinator is Kim Hall). We need approximately 20 volunteers for Friday (11:30am until 8:00pm – 2 shifts); and 30 volunteers Saturday (6:00am until 6:00pm); and 30 volunteers on Sunday (6:00am until 2:00pm).
The email actually had Kim Hall's direct number but it seemed rude to post that on a public message board. If anybody wants to volunteer and can't get through with the number above shoot me a PM and I'll send you her number.
Also, it looks like they've changed the packet pickup and transition setup times for the Sunday races: packet pickup is either Friday from noon to 8pm or Sunday morning and transition setup is Sunday morning (6am to 8:30am ) only. This is a bummer, I was looking forward to a more casual race morning on Sunday!
Oh well, at least the weather forecast is looking pretty good! This'll be my first Olympic distance tri and I'm really excited!
Cheers,
Jeff |
