Today I did a little volunteering at the Rookie Triathlon First at the "Crew Tent" then on to the bike course mounting line. One of the guys whipped out a bullhorn and my eyes lit up like Sing Sing, correctional facility when a felon is escaping. It was a little weird at first but as with most things I quickly adapted.
After getting a little taste of bullhorn action I am proud to announce myself as:
"Chief Cheer Squadron Leader O' CDA 2009".... AKA.."CCSLOCDA" or "Spectator". (yes, I named myself).
While, I know this is a rather large responsibility. I am more than willing to take it on.
You may think what? This girl is off her rocker.. (OK, tell me something I don't already know) What all is entailed for this? First off I am keeping my race number so I can go wherever I want on the course.. (although, I'm not sure exactly what all I can get away with :)) As the head CCSlOCDA in charge I have created a check list. Should you find anything missing please let me know..
Bullhorn, cow bells, camera, road bike, silly string, clown outfit, elephants, ticker tape parade and pinata....
And just to be true to form I have been working on race day nutrition! Lord knows this is going to be a long day of cheering. I don't want to bonk spectating the run! Infinit works well with me and so do hammer gels. So this means I will be setting my watch every 20 min to drink and take a gel every hour... With maybe a beer stop squeezed in... here and there...
Next on my race schedule... Cap Tex Tri Relay (bike) May... Fredericksburg Road Race June 28... The Austin Tri (oly) Sept...Chappell Hill (Sept).. and a few crits here and there.
But first gotta get back to training...
