I always volunteer at Chicago sports events including marathons and tri-atholons. Volunteering keeps me connected to events I have done in the past and continue to do. The triatholon has become my newest fitness goals. I started with the super sprint and will continue to work my way up the ladder. That is why I volunteer for the swim legged this year even though "Mother Nature" said no swimmming today! Overall it was a fun day being outdoors and supporting all the tri athletes!

Feedback, need more volunteers at the finish line time chip removal crew. I saw a need to help with chip removal, after so many athletes were approaching the water station with their timing chips on their ankles. So my friend and I grab some gloves and started helping the triathletes with removing their chips. That heat was like an extra leg to overcome so I was excited to be of service to all the triathletes.
