This was my fist triathlon as a participating athlete....I have watched several in the past including a couple Iron Man races. Each time I have been impressed by the energy level of both the participants and their supporters. But I can now say with absolute certainty that everything looks ALOT easier from the sidelines. ESPECIALY THE SWIM. The open water swim with people all on top and around and underneath each other is enough to make someone hyperventalate, freak the fuk out, and almost give up immediately. Oh wait, did I just admit that out loud? Seriously, RED ROCK CO. realy did put on a fantastic event...and it obviously could not happen with out the help of all the volunteers. It was amazing how well marked the course was and in any tight spot where there might have been ambiguity to which way the racer goes....there was always a volunteer vocally directing traffic. There was always a volunteer ready with a bottle of water/gatorade or cup of coke, there was always a volunteer holding an extra pack of GU and ALWAYS a participant or yet another volunteer ready with encouraging words. Alot of people go out there to seriously compete but that certainly didnt stop them from giving a little praise or words of encouragement to those of us that needed it. A fabulous event all around with an equally fabulous group of volunteers and participants.....
