What an amazing day of watching people do something amazing and volunteering! It's true, volunteering at a race gives you the other perspective of races and how to be appreciative
The finish line is definitely the highlights (interacting or catching the following people):
- a lady from Arkansas telling me her story for 20 minutes
- A Grandpa on his 60th birthday
- a man on completing 50th Ironman
- a brother that had to race and beat his younger brother's time
- a guy with a make-shift splint from a nasty bike spill
- a man from Cinci who gives all his race swag to his elderly mother who comes and watches every race
- Uproar for a man that was 100-200yards away and not going to make it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n8h0M7uOA8) without the crowd.
Same person, different view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e2pOmaaAOQ
- And the final person to cross (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kqIYowAIu4), simply amazing!
Probably the coolest people to see at the finish line were two friends, who decided to change their lives and others through 140.6miles.
