Lakeside Sprint

Erica,

Thank you so much for volunteering. I think more athletes would appreciate what goes into a race if they volunteered. Not to mention that we really appreciate it.

Neil, who is also a BT poster, has volunteered with us in Huronia and loved the experience.

Hi Erica,

A grateful thank you from one of the Sprint racers on Saturday - I assume that was you at the corner of 92 and 31st line shaking the cowbell(?).

My wife volunteered at the Bala Falls triathlon earlier in the summer and said it was a great experience.

I intend to give back to the MSC race series next year and volunteer at a few venues.

Thanks Scott, yes that was me. It was so amazing to participate in the race from that perspective... from the folks at the FOP to the folks at the BOP, watching everyone's determination and efforts was inspiring! So many smiles from athletes totally made it worthwhile. The fact that the weather was perfect didn't hurt either! Hope it was a great race for you.

I won't hesitate to sign up to volunteer at another race next year. It was a fun way to keep up the race momentum of the summer even after my own personal racing budget was used up for the year. I really appreciated getting to soak up the energy of the day without having to focus on my own race. Incredible athletes at all levels. And it was so great to be able to chat with a number of athlete supporters looking/watching/waiting for their athlete and gain insight into that side of things. Makes me appreciate my own "sherpa" so much more! :D MSC was a great organization to work with! Don't hesitate to help out with a race going forward.

Erica,

A very big thank you to you and all of the volunteers this year! The reality is that races like ours cannot provide a complete race experience without you. It is one of the reasons we try and treat you well. We appreciate your support and kind words.
