[mwood]

Awww, you missed me as a volunteer...I was out there the whole time : (
Jen P and Claire helped out and raced. Great job to everyone!

Martha Wood

[MarkD]

Martha - thanks ! Hope you took a warm shower after spending the morning in cold rain !!

I also heard that there was an Aussie Rob sighting !

[Aussie Rob]

Those rumours unfortunately cannot be confirmed. Nice work everyone else though. The first HTFU race of the year for you guys!

[Brandon]

You did, indeed, miss Martha who braved the cold rain to serve pizza and water (and a few apples and bananas) to the runners! Alison and Patrick also braved the downpour whilst lugging cases of water. So may folks who also raced stopped by to help out it was hard to keep track of everyone! In addition to those already mentioned thanks to:

Steve Yutzy who lugged around countless cases of water BEFORE the race (nice warm up, eh?)

Kim Zepp, for volunteering AND then dropping 5 minutes off of last years time on the same course.

Martha Wood, who probably did the most work of any of our volunteers. The rest of us are lazy.

Mark Spencer is our new volunteer communications specialist (thank you Mark :-) who taught me how to effectively respond to our "thank you for volunteering" remarks from the athletes. He handed out food and drink after the race in addition to giving me a free professional development session.

Mike Mayer, who gets the 'volunteering overtime' award. He helped us set up, ran the 5-miler, then helped us pack up until the Hermes folks could find nothing more for us to do.

Jen Petkovsek was the most eager volunteer when we showed up in the morning, despite the fact that Janet brought the biggest coffee mug you can buy anywhere in the world.

Janet gets the 'last volunteer (and runner) standing' award for meeting me at Charlie's 'hospital break out' gathering at A.J. Rocco's later that night (maybe all that coffee pays off?).

Tim Walsh gets our crunch-time volunteer award and is credited with giving the most valuable training advice of the day.

Thanks again everyone!!! We had a whole slew of runners and great volunteer support!

[brandy]

Yes, thank you everyone! And sorry that I didn't make it in time to help out... by the time I got there and settled the heavy lifting was done. I guess I forgot how big this race is! Definitely a good time.

[Janet E]

Yes, thanks so much to all of the volunteers. The CTC presence at the event was just fantastic and it was fun to talk to a lot of people who were interested in the club!

Oh and also major props to Ken Beech for taking care of those nice club promo cards that were passed out at the event! Loved the top 10 list!
