For those of you reading this blog who aren't aware of what the Lava Man Triathlon is, it takes place on the island of Hawai'i at the beautiful Waikaloa Beach Resort and consists of a mile swim, twenty four mile bike ride, and a six mile run. The race spans a very large distance and therefore needs a few helping hands to keep everything organized and running smoothly ( duh dun tsssss ).
A hand full of Konawaena High school JROTC cadets and First Sergeant Libre showed up for our duties at 0500 and worked in the scorching sun until 1200. We started off assisting participants with setting up in the transition point then watched the entrance and exit of the transition point ensuring that nothing got backed up and directed people to the route they needed to take. All the while we're picking up discarded cups and goo packets thrown away by the racers. Once the race was coming to an end and finished competitors were coming to claim their bikes, we checked numbers on bikes and wristband to ensure that all bikes were in the right hands. Big thanks to the Cadets who worked hard, I hope your sunburns aren't too bad. Another big thank you to the Lava Man Triathlon Directors for allowing us to lend a helping hand! See you guys next year!
